Having a child is like having a forever evolving subject to photograph.?? I love photographing my 14-month-old son.?? He's been staring at my lens since the day after he was born, so he's become a ham for the camera.?? We took him to the pumpkin patch this week and it was the first time he was able to walk among the pumpkins.?? Most of my snapshots of him are just that, snapshots, but I felt compelled to share these because I thought they turned out really well.

I absolutely had the best time photographing Olivia.?? She is only a couple months younger than my own little boy, so this was fun!?? Olivia has the most amazing blue eyes!?? I still cannot get over how beautiful they are.?? I am so excited that I was able to capture this moment of her life for her mom and dad.?? Olivia's first birthday is coming up on November 3rd (one day before mine!).?? So Happy Birthday Sweet Olivia!?? For more, check out my Flickr.

I just love shooting family portraits!?? Children grow up so fast, it give me so much joy to freeze time for their parents through family portraits.?? Below is a shot of the youngest Trotter.?? Shelby was just an amazing little model.?? She could not have been more cute!

I had the wonderful privilege of shooting headshots for Salon Piper Glen. The staff and stylists there are so much fun! We found this great burgundy painted brick wall out back that made an excellent backdrop for these modern-looking headshots. These and other images will be displayed on their website very soon: http://www.salonpiperglen.com/. I cannot wait to see my work "published"!?? All the images turned out great; here are a select few that I couldn't resist posting.?? For more, check out my Flickr.

Meet Jade. This young lady is amazing! She was such a pleasure to hang out with and photograph. When I told her she was a natural, she said, "Yeah, that's what people tell me." Classic! For more photos of Jade, click the image to visit my Flickr photostream.

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the Jimenez family. Little Emmanuel was only about 6 weeks old at the time of this shoot and so precious. I just loved capturing mom and dad's interactions with their new little one. The love and joy during this time in life is so priceless; I am honored that they asked me capture it for them.

Autumn is, by far, my favorite season.?? Quoting from one of my favorite movies, You've Got Mail...

Don't you love New York in the fall??? It makes me want to buy school supplies.?? I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.
