Baby Nathan

Remember a while back I got the chance to photograph my friend Jen's baby?  Well, now that he is ready to graduate from college, I have finally gotten his photos edited.  :)  Okay, so he's not quite ready to graduate, but it seems like it has been forever!  Life gets in the way of so many things I want/need to do.

Anyway, I wanted to share a few of my favorites.  

If I remember correctly, this blue outfit is a family heirloom of sorts.  Jen's son, Alex, who is now 15 or so, wore it when he was a baby.

I used Pioneer Woman's Soft Faded action on this one.

Jen wanted some photos of Nathan in this 100-year-old gown.  I believe it is also a family heirloom.  I used Nelly Nero's Antique Overlay action on this one ... I think.  :)

Tried to get the whole gown in the photo.  Not easy to do.  I used Pioneer Woman's Vintage action on this one.

Oh, how I love me some baby feet.

I had to get Jen in a photo or two, but I could only get her to put her hand in.  :)

I really enjoyed my first baby photo shoot.  And I learned a lot.  But, of course, I still have MUCH MORE to learn.  Not sure I'd want to do this for a living though.  :)


Thanks, Jen, for the honor!  I hope you like your photos!

I Clicked it Up a Notch - July's Best Photo

Once again, Courtney over at Click it up a Notch is having her monthly best photo contest.  This month I stepped waaaaaay outside my comfort zone and did a baby photo shoot.  For a friend ... for free, but still.  I haven't finished editing them all yet, but I keep coming back to this one.  It probably isn't technically correct, but I just absolutely love it.

This is sweet little Baby Nathan.  He was almost exactly a month old when I took his pictures.  He is the most adorable little baby.  I really enjoyed my time with Jen (his mom) and Nathan.  Oh, and Nathan's proud big sister, Lauren.  :)

So that is how I clicked it up a notch in July.

Also submitting this for Live Every Moment's weekly photo challenge - the theme is white.

Week 29 Summary

These weeks seem to just be flying by!  Here's how ours went ... in pictures ...

17 - Pretty pink Tiger Lily.  Tracey picked this as one of her Top 5 this week!  Thanks, Tracey!

18 - Baby Nathan.  A friend of mine had this handsome little boy just over a month ago and allowed me to take photos of him for practice.  It was fun.  I look forward to possibly getting more opportunities to photograph people soon.  :)  I still have lots to learn!

19 - Lauren, Nathan's proud big sister.  When Nathan needed a break to eat or get changed, Lauren was glad to step in.  :)

20 - A few of our sunflowers are blooming.

21 - A hummingbird moth we got to see while visiting Doug's parents.

22 - My niece, Christy.  She's such a sweetie.

23 - My feather duster ... I spent the morning cleaning.  Try not to be jealous.  :)

Linking up with ...

I had the privilege of photographing a friend's one-month-old baby boy today ... Nathan David.  He is so sweet!!!  Jen, his mom, has this 100-year-old christening gown that she wanted some photos of him in.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  It was fun practicing photographing a baby.  Thanks, Jen, for the opportunity!
