Ella Kate is brand new.   She is Matt and Holli’s first and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their newborn child.  I haven’t had the opportunity to document the beginning of life for very many people, so I definitely enjoy getting to see how small we all start out.  The details in a newborn’s room are fun to photograph as well because they’re typically vibrant and full of color; also notice there is a seemingly random picture of birds and flowers here. That’s actually a rather large canvas painting that was hand-drawn & painted by Holli.  Here are a dozen of my favorite images. Congratulations Matt and Holli!

 

I will be making images of this guy every three months for the next year.  It was great to finally meet the Gentry family and I am looking forward to recording the growth of their son in his first year of life.  He is 5 days old in this series–amazing how small we all are when we’re brand new.

Tristan is new to this earth and I was asked to record some images of him. Here he is less than a week old. This is one of my favorites so far – more to come.
