Brandon and Karen wanted some new photos of their two boys and their new addition, Naomi. I was happy to oblige and spend some fun time with them all.
This is the Menard family. They are good friends of mine and they wanted some family photos done. You might remember them from this photo (oddly, their youngest daughter was born 9 months after it was taken).
I got an extraordinary opportunity this week to shoot a live birth. A great client of mine asked me to do it, but I just said yes because it was her and didn't really pay attention to what she was asking. Then the night before, I was sitting comfortably in the snug of my local public house, when I realized what I'd agreed to.
'Wait a minute,' says me. 'Did I agree to shoot the BIRTH, or mom and baby after the birth?? CRAP!'
After I sent a quick email off to my client, I realized that, yes, I had agreed to shoot the entire process. Of a C-section birth. YIKES.
So I steeled my will and did my best and it was one of my best photographic experiences yet. I got goosebumps when we heard his first cry.
My Grandpa has not been doing well lately, and has been in the hospital. This past weekend we went to London to visit him, so I took the opportunity to shoot some random photos of my family. This is my Dad ... I like my Dad. I love him too, obviously, but I like him. He's cool.
