introducing baby Benjamin!

If you follow my status on Twitter, as you should, you know our great friends Clint & Kat had their boy a week ago. We go waaay back with the Honnolls and they are cherished friends to us! So, I was honored when I got a chance to photograph Benjamin last night. As my first newborn session I didn't know what to expect but he was a trooper and only turned bright red on me once : ) I did these with two fixed lenses, one window and a reflector about the size of Benjamin's room held by his Dad (thanks Clint). I knew he was going to be a cute kid, but I wasn't ready for the cuteness overload! Maybe it's just my baby fever kicking in but I loved these shots!

Congrats Clint & Kat, we love you!

my favorite shot from the evening...


that shape reminds me of Kat's belly about a week ago...


the many faces of Benjamin...


new Photoshop technique I came up with today, I'm calling it "grandma's camera"
