Hawaii, Baby!

July 15, 2010 – 12:10 pm

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!

Sweet baby skin.

July 6, 2010 – 10:31 pm

A lot of our workshop attendees are surprised at how little we soften our baby’s skin in post processing. I always want to preserve the natural beauty of newborn skin as best I can. It’s important to me to achieve sharpness and clarity in camera to naturally enhance the glow of brand new skin. I want the viewer of my pictures to feel as if they can reach into my photographs and feel the soft fuzzy head or the sweet little cheeks. This little guy had the sweetest newborn skin and it’s my hope that these images show that off. Meet Bryant, a very happy little guy I photographed right before heading out to Hawaii.

gentle summer light.

July 4, 2010 – 11:57 am

The beautiful light that pours into through our windows into the studio during the summer months is always so gentle and soft. The soft light always highlights the peachy newborn skin tones. It’s always a magical combination. This sweet little girl was so beautiful and delicate. Such a little girl! Her Mommy brought along a quilt she had made for her right before she was born. I’m so glad we were able to incorporate the quilt into the session. Also, the purple knit was made by the wonderfully talented Jennifer Howard… Thanks Jennifer! More pictures coming soon… I went to Hawaii last week to photograph one of Hawaii’s most beautiful baby boys! I can’t wait to share what I got!

The Gas-Lamp Newborn Photography Workshop

June 1, 2010 – 10:10 am

Sorry guys for the delay in posting. This last month has been full of babies, workshops and traveling. As you can see… every single one of our newborn models were happy and as sleepy as can be! Our models ranged from ages 3 days old all the way up to nearly four weeks old. We also had a wonderful group of ladies who came from all over the world- From Canada, Australia, England, and, of course, all over the United States. Last month was our workshop’s one year anniversary. We have had such a wonderful time teaching others how to photograph newborns. Carrie and I are deeply honored that photographers have been willing to travel so far to learn from us. We have met so many wonderful ladies and photographed so many beautiful babies with them. Because the Gas-Lamp workshop was such a huge hit, we are now in the beginning stages of planning our next workshop, which will take place in the fall. There will be both weekend and weekday dates available. Make sure to join the mailing list to get the latest workshop information. Those who are on our waiting list will be notified first of any new dates! Have a wonderful week! XOXO

WPPI | ASUKA BOOK | LITTLE LUCA

March 2, 2010 – 10:28 pm

Being beautiful just runs in Luca’s family… you may remember when Carrie photographed his older brother Quincy… He was quite the stunner! His baby brother is no exception! Check out the Captured by Carrie blog for more of this little man. Anyways, I can’t tell you how excited I was when Carrie shared the news that Quincy was going to be a big brother. We just love seeing our families grow! As you can see from these few… Luca was quite the model himself. While I have you all, Carrie and I will be at WPPI in Vegas on Monday speaking at the Asuka Book booth from 1:00-1:30. We are very excited about our segment, which will cover the “behind the scenes” of many of our signature images, that appear in Asuka’s EXD trade show book sample. Funny story… Asuka recently told us that there were several photographers were trying to bid on the sample book at the tradeshows!! Haha! We do love our books, but the new EXD is beyond amazing! Please come by and check all their books out and say “HI” to us! We would love to meet you!

In honor of our love for Asuka, here’s a few favorite book layouts that went to print recently.
