Baby Pics!

Posted by Chris on January 18, 2012 · Leave a Comment

While I was looking thru the photos I took of Erin and James and their <1 week old baby, I got to thinking about these pictures being part of a photo album. This is the best gift that I could have given them. Not that the pictures are spectacular, but this mom/dad/baby combo is spectacular, and these are going to be very important memories in the years to come. Thats a good gift if you ask me. And I always buy the wrong thing anyway.

Erin and James are expecting a baby. Erin has never been more beautiful. Congratulations little baby, you drew a winning ticket. You will have two cool, loving parents, and an amazing extended family. What a wonderful world it will be.

Debra Says…… (About a Family Shoot)

Posted by Chris on June 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Last week we went to Laguna so Chris could do a family photo shoot. I got to go along as the ILS (Intelligent Light Stand). We found a new location that had nice rocks and easy access. The family was so adorably California, that the little bit of New Jersey left in me, started to hurt. The two little sisters were 5 and 2. That is a really fun age for kids. Getting both girls to look at the camera was the trick. The little one was amazed by the waves and the birds, and her big sister. The older sister, Lauren, was a natural at posing and at coaxing her sister to look at the camera. Singing “Dora the Explorer” seemed to help get everyone smiling, including grouchy old me. It is always fun for me to watch Chris work. He has a plan, but is flexible, adapting to the area and to the subjects of the photo shoot. Quick too, which is handy since the tide was coming in and trying to get all the gear. (although he did check the surf report and it was supposed to be low tide at the time of the shoot) We moved around the area taking over 300 photos in different spots and poses. The whole time Chris was coaxing the kids, and making the parents smile. As bossy as Chris can be (and that is really bossy) it seemed more like he was having fun than working. There was a real connection with the family. I occasionally get to snap a photo of him doing his thing. It makes me smile, because he looks happy, in a bossy sort of way.
