Newborns have the cutest faces and it is always fun to feature them. Of course we never know what experssion we will get.

This little girl decided she loves the camera. She was a very happy baby while at my Phoenix studio. That makes my job as a photographer much easier. I always allow a little extra when photographing babies to make sure we can get some great photos.
When should I schedule my maternity photo session is a question which I receive all the time. Pregnant moms want to know when to create the best photos. Since the photos are all about the bulging belly later is always better.
I don’t like to shoot them before 8 months pregnant. I have shot as late as a few days before due dates, but that is probably pushing things out a bit too far. Late in the 8th month is generally a really good time through early 9th month. I don’t like to schedule too close to due date as sometimes babies have a mind of their own and come a bit early.
So as your belly starts to grow, get your maternity session with the photographer scheduled and captures those memories.
Bringing a new baby into a family is always a special event. Remembering the pregnancy with the entire family is becoming a popular addition to maternity photo sessions. Sometimes its siblings, other times it is grandparents are brought into the shoot.
Typically the siblings arrive towards the end of the shoot after mom has gotten her solo photos taken. This allows mom to concentrate on creating great photos without having to worry about anything else.
There are as many options as there are families when it comes to creating the perfect maternity photo. We are always open to your ideas to help you make your photos a true reflection of you.
Shortly after maternity photography session a bundle of joy enters your world. And of course you will come back to get some great newborn photos. One of the fun things to do is to compare how tiny your newborn is as they grow so very fast.
Sometimes a photo shoot has a change in plans. As a photographer I need to be ready to adapt to whatever happens. From bad weather to equipment problems, there are always surprises.
This week on of the pleasant surprise is when Amber came into the studio to shoot. She was showing me her lingerie and said that the one outfit was very retro. My eye immediately saw pin-up for the outfit and asked her if she would like to do some classic pin-up with it.
Amber jumped at the chance. She hadn’t even considered doing any pin-up photography for her shoot before, but now she was excited by the idea.
She loved the final shot and everyone she showed it to told her it was one of their favorites.
With the approach of Valentines day I am being kept busy with boudoir photography. After all, it does make a great gift for Valentines day.
Still getting a lot of maternity clients too. It seems pregnancy photos are hot this time of year.
And I have also a few of my maternity clients returning to get photos of their newborn babies.
It has been a great week to be a photographer, as I have had some amazing clients.
The holidays were very busy and I finally have managed to get caught up and take some time to update my blog. I’ve gotten a lot of messages from client s telling me how much their loved ones all loved the photographs.
This week I did get a chance to create some boudoir photographs. I decided to end the shoot with some shoots using water. Water can help to create a very sexy look. As I think you will see in this sample from the shoot.
It is already time to start thinking about getting your Valentines Day boudoir images shot. So I will be getting busy again.
As I mentioned last week, this December has been packed with maternity photography clients. Each one has been so much fun to work with. The excitement of a new baby coming into a family is a wonderful thing to share.
Of course I always provide the standard pregnancy photos, but I love it when I can create a unique set of maternity images for a client that they couldn’t get anyplace else. One of my clients was really into this idea and got an amazing selection of images. This is one of my favorites.
A few lighting tricks to create this spotlight effect created this shadow. Amazing flexibility for someone who is 9 months pregnant. This is the kind of fun I love to have as a photographer.
In between these photo sessions I have been swamped with students taking private photography lessons. It seems a lot of people want to learn how to take better photos for the holidays and like the idea of a private class on how to use their camera. I enjoy teaching these budding photographers a few tricks of the trade to help them make their photos better.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.
This time of year the studio gets very busy. Of course boudoir photography clients lead the requests this time of year, a surprising number of maternity clients having been booking for December. Each day seems to hold a new surprise.
Saturday I shots some behind the scenes shots of K. T Cools new music video. Great song and a great group of people on the set. Everyone was great to work with. I also helped them get some models for the video. Here is a quick shot of K. T Cool.
With the holiday’s getting close, a lot of gift certificates are being purchased for photo sessions and photography classes.
Keep it safe this holiday season.

Holiday season is a time photographs. Family portraits are created for Christmas cards to send to everyone. We want to share the changes in our family over the past year. Maybe there is a new addition or maybe everyone just a year old and better looking!
Of course there is one of the favorite gifts, sexy boudoir photographs. Read more about how boudoir makes a great gift here.
Another popular gift is photography lessons. Maybe they are getting a new camera, and maybe they just want to learn to take better pictures.
Of course if you know someone who is expecting, a gift certificate for a maternity photo session is a great gift idea too.
