I became a professional photographer three years ago, and sadly…*this* is my first roll of film. I’m going backwards, learning the patience it takes to snap 12 frames and then wait for 10 days (yes, 10! AGH!) to see my work. It was *brutal*…but I’m in love. This roll was taken on Inauguration Day, and I called it Hope. (Who says you can’t name a roll of film?)
67-degree-February day: check.
Child models bringing the awesome sauce: check.
Rockin’ out the tuna surprise session: check.
I’m thrilled with the way these images turned out, and had fun makin’ ‘em, too. Abbie gets to eat purple cake for dinner, ’cause she did such an utterly magnificent job so utterly close to her bedtime.

It was my great pleasure to meet Carrie, Casey, and the unbelievably awesome Abby this Saturday. They were the grand prize winners of my Giving is Awesome shoot and…they rocked it out.
Abby came into this world when her umbilical cord burst, leaving her without oxygen for over thirty minutes, and leaving every organ to fail, or come close to failure. Carrie and Casey were told that worst case scenario, she would die — best case scenario, she’d be a vegetable for the rest of her days.
But Abby had other plans. She’s alive, she’s far far *far* from being a vegetable, and she is one of the most spectacular creatures I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. All Moms *say* they have happy babies. But Abby? Abby lights up a room.

Ah, newborns. The smell, the fuzzy hair, the tiny…tiny-ness of the under-a-week-old baby is second to nothing in the whole world. In fact, it’s a lot like this:

I heart my job. Every last bit of it, from hugging babies to meeting Moms to making fabulous images to sharing them with you. Luckily for me, Yum & Bum brought all of my favorites together with fabulous vegan cupcakes (that were yummy! Seriously!) and we created the framework for a marvelous in-store display. Yum & Bum is literally across the street from the loft, and features organic/natural/awesome products for your little one. All of these were taken smack-dab in front of the freezer section and to the left of the Elmo organic crackers. We all need a little challenge, right?
In theory, there’s a biiiiiig box right below this that has a video of all the images from yesterday in it. If you can see it, good. If you have my computer, or are having issues, you can’t. So you can view it here.
