Anyone who knows me understands how much I L-O-V-E babies. I can't express how thrilled I was to shoot this beautiful lady. Her name: Alyssa Claire Langley. Her birthday: June 26, 2010. She was 12 days old for this shoot.
She was a funny little lady! Oooooooohhh, did she NOT like being naked! And I remembered how new babies can take all of our best laid plans and flip them upside down. It was a long shoot, but in the end, the images we came away were not only timeless in many ways, but could not, and will never be reproduced.
I could, at this time, produce a cliche full of catch phrases and boring statements that really mean nothing. Instead, let me explain what I believe photography should do.
Great photography should take a moment and somehow stop time. When I look at the snapshots my daddy used to take when I was a kid, somehow I'm transported to that moment. Good photography is, in my mind, doing what everyone else is trending on. Great photography stops time.
I absolutely adored everything about this shoot. From the hours spent preparing, to the hours spent with little Claire, to the hours spent scrutinizing the images - processing and post-processing. I loved all of it! Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot.
