Camden

Goodness! I have been dying to post this sneak peek since first beginning to work on this album last week. Little Camden came over for her newborn session and it couldn't have gone any more smoothly. She slept like a champ!

You might have already seen a couple of these on my website. In fact, if you haven't been over there in a while, you should hop on over there to see all of the newest updates. Over the weekend I spent several hours updating with lots of new images and even rewriting a few sections. Currently I am searching for some really unique, special music to use on the site, so that is still under construction. In fact, if anyone knows of an artist who would love to get some exposure on my site and has a way for me to sample the tracks, I'd love that!

Oh, and forgive the changes as I am also working on a suitable watermark that copyright protects my artwork from being stolen from my blog without being totally obnoxious. Too bad everyone doesn't operate on the honesty policy, but I keep on reading about images being stolen from photographer's sites and ending up in foreign advertisements. Weird but true!

Now, back to Camden. It was SOOO durn hard tryin' to pick these out.... (Yes, flashback to East Texas there).

Warming Right Up!

It took the first half of the session for this 3-but-almost-4-year-old to warm up and let loose, but after she was comfy, we were all getting sweaty running around together (meaning me, her and her mom!) Speaking of, isn't it crazy how quickly it's become typical Texas summer weather? I mean, seriously, 2 weeks ago I refused to put more than my feet in the pool because it was just too chilly. Now it is already feeling like a bathtub. Makes me kinda scared to see July and August around here. Think studio shoot, studio shoot!






You can tell the turning point in the shoot started right... about... here...



And since she was only 3, I think it's still legal to show this and have a good laugh:

Taking a break to peek at a ladybug in the grass (can you find it on the right image?) and letting her crawl around:


Just a mischievous little grin:
And a few sweet shots with Mommy, who has been a good friend of ours for I think 6+ years now, is that what we came up with?
Hope you enjoyed your sneaks! Maybe big bro can come along next time??

Post-ceremony

After exiting the fabuloso church...



It was time for some fun shots around the downtown area. Check it out:









The Myerson was right behind the church and it provided some interesting architectural detail for this shot of the wedding party walking down the street:




Last but not least, the reception is coming up next! Then I'll get back to blogging about some of my recent portrait sessions... absolutely adorable newborn, 3 year old, family of four... and more.
