Hawaii, Baby!

I think little Oliver may have won my heart! He was the sweetest baby and I can say, without a doubt, that his session is my very favorite to date. Lisa Hoang had me come out to Hawaii to photograph her newest little boy a few weeks ago. The little guy was so cooperative and sleepy… so sleepy that he slept through an entire day of shooting in the studio, he slept through a fairly windy evening outing to the beach, then he slept through a morning trip to a local grassy field, and then slept a little more- just enough for some family pictures back in the studio! I couldn’t have asked for a more willing family… they were up for anything! Thank you so much, Lisa for sharing your little guy with me! I had an amazing time in Hawaii! The images here on the blog are my favorites, but if you would like to see his full gallery you can log into his proofing gallery on the baby as art website under the proofing section. His password is oliver. I would like to also thank my wonderful boyfriend Steven for helping me during his shoot. He was such a great help- he held blankets, an olive branch, a scale, pulled binkies and even gently brushed sand off Oliver at the beach with his camera cleaning brush! In other news… We have announced a workshop for September 8th + 9th and the 11th + 12th. Email our workshop gal Chelle at workshop@babyasart.com to reserve your spot. The seats are filling quickly and this will be our last workshop of the year! Our last Gas-Lamp workshop was a huge hit!

    WOW! These images are stunning! I am so impressed!
    Do you mind if I ask a question? Do you use a filter on your camera? I love the “finish” of the images.
    I am a new business owner, specializing in pet photography, but your images always inspire me to branch out!

    I love the grassy field and soft creamy light, but that first shot on the beach literally took my breath away. You are such an inspiration… I used to say I want to be the next “Anne Geddes” now I say I want to be the next “Baby as Art” photog! One day I will make it to one of your workshops… one day!

    Oh! I have tears in my eyes. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! These images are an amazing gift and I am so grateful to have them. You captured Oliver and our family so beautifully and perfectly. I appreciate all your hard work, and give Steven a hug for me- he was the best assistant and SO patient! The olive branch shot is exactly what I envisioned for our announcements and it turned out even better than I had hoped. And despite the weather, the beach shots came out amazing. I am just over the moon with these!

    I think that beach shot with the baby in the “pod” is probably one of the most beautiful shots ever. I don’t even know this baby and I think I want a 30 x 40 canvas of this in my home. Wow! Double Wow!
