Denver Baby Portraits: Chloe Ebadi is 7 months!
You're probably tired of reading "I photographed their wedding, their pregnant belly and now we're documenting baby's first year"! But how many creative ways can you say the same thing?? This is our second photo shoot with Chloe who is now a whopping 7 months and a very petite little princess. I had to take the above photo of Molly and baby Chloe right on the stairs as soon as I arrived because the light was so gorgeous! 
Daddy did not dig the flower headband, but Molly and I could not get enough of this image and at last he conceeded. How can you resist the delight??
None of us could believe this shot. It is just too cute!! You just never know where babies are going to be totally comfortable and meet the camera! My sessions are unpredictable, fortuitous and serendiptitous- all meaning about the same thing but I like all of those words!
I had already packed up the camera (i.e. put it in my bag) but while Molly and I were discussing furniture as I was on the way to my car I could not withstand the urge for another shot. Aren't they just both so gorgeous? Would you have any idea that Molly is operating on just a few hours of sleep a night?? She is radiant.
Daddy is a doctor for children. The day of our portrait shoot he was called in to save a little boy. So the whole family came down to old-town Louisville on a Saturday morning for a quick family shoot. Mark has a VERY difficult time being still for photos, which makes him a perfect client for me because so do I! I was in rare form that morning and somehow shot over 200 images (almost all of which turned out just beautifully) in less than 5 minutes. I think that might be a world record. The following images are just a sampling of what we got. And then they headed a few blocks over for some festival they were having at the Louisville Community Park! Hurrah- everyone is happy! 
Doesn't Mark totally remind you of George Clooney? He is WAY more comfortable having his photo taken with his baby girl! Funny how that happens.

Put a naked baby on a sheepskin rug from New Zealand and all is right with the world! (A trick I picked up from Julia Vandenover!!)
Sitting up is hard to do when you're tiny. A bit of a backward spill warranted a little cuddle time. I don't usually mind a few tears during a session because it affords me images like this, which are so genuine and true for this time in a baby's life. How much longer will Anji be able to hold her son like this, tucked right in, totally safe, trusting and deeply comforted? For both of them. It is such a privilege for me to capture these types of moments for my clients. 
Daddy love! Usually involves being tossed in the air or tipped upside down. Challenging to photograph but totally worth it!!
Ahh, the ever-popular metal tub. You'd think it would be a brutal transition from the sheepskin, but babies love this thing! As do the parents! I'll have to do a series perhaps in January of all my favorite tub photos! Amazing what you can do with a little vintage fleamarket find! 
And right at the VERY end of our session I caught these shots. I didn't know I had them until I edited the photos! That's what I mean when I say editing is like Christmas morning for me. There's always a few total surprises! We're framing them up as a triptych because we just could not get enough of them!!
Everything about this wedding was dreamy, including the thirty minute downpour that ensued shortly after we started the formal photos! We couldn't get to the cars to take us to the reception so we were forced to stay under the columns and back into the church for some "angelic" shots. 
Meg's family lives in Japan and she incorporated many Japanese details throughout their wedding in Berkeley, California this summer. It was, of course, my treat to photograph them!
Meg & Dan: thank you so very much for giving me the opportunity to photograph your wedding! I love that Meg had been hoping to hire me for about the last 5 years of their dating life and that Dan emailed me within days of their engagement! It is such an honor and I hope these images live up to all your expectations and help you re-live your fabulous wedding! 
And here I am learning a new software application- with my husband's help, of course! David Jay's ShowIt Fast. Super cool! Enjoy!!
