Can you believe that I have picked up my knitting needles exactly one time in the past 6 weeks? Once! But it is all for good reason, although I sure do miss it. Missing it is made a lot easier when I get to spend time with newborns, babies, and just people in general for Fresh Photography. Photographing newborns may just be the best part of all. I got to meet Cooper yesterday, Kandis’s son and Julia’s grandson. Oh my goodness, is he ever a sweetie! And totally in that complete newborn phase, with the exception of not wanting to sleep. We all hear that newborns are supposed to sleep 17 hours a day or something like that, but Cooper wasn’t having any of it. He did sleep some, but he was awake a lot too. He also “christened” me, so I’m officially a newborn baby photographer now. That’s what I get for making him pose nude for so long – I totally pushed the limit on it!

Knitting time will return soon enough, I’m sure. For now, I’ve got lots of photographs – and more photo shoots – to play with!

Interested in hiring me to take your child’s newborn photos? I would love to talk! More details at the Newborn photography site.

Isn’t she a sweetheart? Our session started later in the day than we had originally planned because we were waiting for my new lens to arrive. Of course, UPS showed up about an hour into the session, 20 minutes away from where we were at. That’s ok though – we ended up having perfect light and fun at the neighborhood park! Doesn’t she look like she is offering me a seat on that swing? This was near the end of her crawling days; she is officially walking now, and I can’t wait to see her again! I discovered after our shoot that she has a nice collection of hats, so we’re going to have to play with them next time!

Edits are underway over at the Fresh Photography site, so the details aren’t there yet, but I’m still taking sessions at the portfolio building rate. Let me know if you want all the details! I’ll be in Philly in early May for Maryland Sheep & Wool, I might be able to get in a session while I’m up there even! Have camera, will travel!

I just finished editing and uploading Emma’s photos! Whoo hoo! She is adorable – it was fun to go through them all over again. Now I’m working on Grace’s pictures, and then … oh, heck. I don’t remember who is next at the moment. I’m just giddy that Emma’s are live on Pictage! I can’t wait to photograph her again – she is such a cutie! More photos of her over on Flickr.

600 square miles? Pretty huge area, huh? Guess what – that is how big Houston is. Seriously. And it is the perfect name for the Houstonist’s first-ever photo show. It is a pretty amazing city (remind me of that when I start complaining about the heat again in July), and I am now thinking of what to enter.

It’ll be a juried show that will run the month of September at MSquared Gallery in the Heights — a chance for all photographers, whether they’ve been shooting for years or just picked up a camera, to display, advertise (and sell, if they want to) their work. The theme of the show, as you might have guessed, is Houston; exactly what that means is up to you. As long as a photo has something to do with Houston and was taken in the Houston area, it’ll work.

The deadline to enter is Friday, June 1. All the details are at 600 Sq. Mi.

(I am not affiliated with the Houstonist – other than as a reader – or with the show. In case you wondered. Just want to help spread the word!)
