baby: Kieran

The first time I met Kieran's parents was before he was born. They called me and wanted to schedule a maternity session. I knew from the moment I met them that they were going to make AWESOME parents! Their enthusiasm boiled over as we spoke about the little one in the oven. I have to say... I was impressed with Dustin, most guys don't want anything to do with getting their portraits taken... Dustin was rockin it... they had so much fun together!

Now fast forward a couple of months and meet my new buddy Kieran. This little guy has so much love surrounding him. It's such a pleasure to be invited into peoples lives to share their most special moments! I am so blessed to do what I love! Thank you Dustin and Sarah for sharing your AWESOMENESS with me!

Excuse me... what point and shoot do you use?

I get a lot of people asking me what point-and-shoot camera I use. Well, this past Christmas Santa brought Becca a shiny new Canon S5-IS (Yes... I still shoot Nikon gear professionally) and we love it. It's a little bit bigger than most point and shoot cameras but it has a 12x optical zoom (very important if you need a good zoom) and it also has the Image Stabilization built in. It does pretty good in most situations and it also has video capabilities with a flip out LCD on the back so that you can take pictures of you and your friends huddled together and be assured that all of you are in the shot.

If you have a point-and-shoot that you absolutely love, please feel free to post a comment so that everyone can hear about it.

Memories are PRICELESS so even if you don't commission the services of a professional photographer make sure you are capturing your families memories yourself and do it often!
