A Portrait a Week

If I can keep it up, i'm going to take a portrait a week of Dylan. We're all settled in to our new family life, so it's gotten much easier to get things done around the house, including taking more photos of Dylan.

The first portrait is Dylan at 10 weeks old, taken just yesterday. It looks like he's saying, " Okay Mom I'm done with taking pictures!" The second portrait is Dylan at 9 weeks old. He's sporting a Baby Gap onesie. They have the cutest baby clothes!

Tomorrow I'll be shooting a wedding and it will be the longest I've ever been away from my little boy. I have full faith that Todd will take great care of him because he always does, but that doesn't mean I won't miss my two favorite people.

I am looking forward to shooting this wedding. It's going to be gorgeous weather and I can't wait to shoot at the Winter Park Civic Center. Check back on Monday for a sneak peek from Chuck and Christina's wedding.

Adventures with Dylan

Since Dylan hit his two month mark, he's been on lots of adventures and visits lately. Todd bought me a good ol' point and shoot camera for those quick and easy snapshots. Lugging around a heavy camera and lens is not so practical with a baby! 

So our good friend Holly came by for a visit this past weekend. She saw Dylan when he was only about a week old, so she could tell that he's grown a lot! Todd was gracious enough to watch Dylan so that Holly and I could catch up and grab some Starbucks.

This past Saturday Betty and Coach came for a visit. Todd is longtime friends with their son Garren, whom he met in college. We visited and made a trip to Five Guys Hamburgers for lunch and strolled around Baldwin Park.

Last week Todd and I went to the Mall at Millenia and had lunch at Cheesecake Factory. Todd is putting his Baby Bjorn to good use in that snapshot. He had to get the same carrier that Brad Pitt uses with his babies.

Finally Dylan got his first look at some motorcycles by visiting Meltem and Yaman's motorcycle shop. Meltem presented us with an egg for Dylan to symbolize new birth. It's a Turkish tradition. Meltem is an awesome cook by the way and we LOVE her Turkish cuisine!

Two Month Portraits

Two months have gone by since the arrival of our little guy and his little personality is coming through. He lets us know when he's hungry loudly just to make sure that we hear him. He's also started giving us big grins and talks to us by cooing and gooing. He's a very sweet little boy and he loves to cuddle and study everyone's faces. We're quite enjoying being new parents even if it is the toughest job in the world!

Portraits of Our Family

About a week ago Dylan was in a good and sleep mood so we took advantage of the moment to take some family portraits. He loves to be held so it wasn't difficult to take some portraits with him...until he got hungry that is.
