C A M D E N | May 2016 Portraits

I was so thrilled when Rachel messaged me, asking if I would be able to do a portrait session with her son, Camden!  This sweet little guy’s uncle was actually in Jake and my wedding and the whole family means a lot to us, so it was special to me to be able to take photos of Camden!  When Rachel messaged me and said “Camden is growing so fast, and I have yet to get photos done of him!”, as simple as it was, it reminded me of why I love being a photographer.  Although we all know that time passes quickly, babies seem to remind us of that with how fast they grow and change.  It’s just a little harder to remember that time is moving by all of us at the same rate, even though we aren’t all still growing quite so quickly. 😉

Camden was born early and spent the first weeks of his life in the NICU.  As I’ve watched his family go through the journey that has been Camden’s life since he was born, I’m grateful to celebrate someone so small that has already had such an impact on the people around him.

As you probably know, I really enjoy being able to take photos that highlight the little things.  One reason why I enjoy doing newborn and baby photos every now and then is that I get to capture those details that seem to change so quickly so that they will last- even after those tiny fingers and toes aren’t so tiny anymore.  All of this to say, I’m glad I get to do what I do.  To capture moments, details, and the little things that won’t last forever is a privilege and an adventure that I’m glad to be a part of.

Here are my favorites from my session with Camden and some of his family.  Enjoy!

Moses is an adorable little guy who I got to capture some newborn photos of!  The day we had our photo shoot, the weather was SO beautiful, but the clouds were all over the place, so a few photos were more sunny than others.  Since we took almost all the photos indoors, next to windows at his parents house, the harshness of the sunlight was softened up a little bit and made for a nice, bright scene.  Plus, I did my best to equalize the exposure levels in photoshop too (TGFPhotoshop, amiright?).  Here are some of my favorites from our session!  My extra favorites are the last few of Moses and his mom, Julia.  You can tell this little guy is very loved and I’m sure Julia and her husband Jared are going to be an absolute naturals at parenting!

My friend Katie recently had a sweet little baby girl that I got to take pictures of! I’m not sure when a baby is officially not a newborn anymore, but I think only being 2 1/2 weeks old still qualifies as a newborn (which was how old Eden was for this photo shoot).

Her cutie pie older brother also made an appearance to hold her and was beaming the entire time!  Her mom (who could easily fool me into thinking that being a mom is a piece of cake) was also splendid – you can tell there’s a lot of love in this family!  My only regret is not having captured a shot of the whole family since dad was there too!  Anyway, here are some of my favorites from our shoot!
