First Ever Baby Shoot, Full of Funny Coincidences
I was recently contacted by a family about taking some photos of their new baby, who was only a few months old. I was a bit nervous having never shot a baby before, but I decided that now was as good a time as any to learn! We met up at Hermann Park here in Houston on a warm summer evening to shoot.
As it turned out, the baby and I share the same name (Theo), and I used to live directly next door to his dad when I was growing up! We used to have super soaker wars and easter egg hunts together, haha. Pretty funny coincidence!
The light was really nice the whole day, and little Theo was extremely cooperative for the whole two hours, right up until the end when he decided that he'd had enough.
It was a lot of fun overall, and definitely cool to try something completely different. I'm looking forward to doing it again.
You can see the full set and more about the story on my blog:

Really nice stuff and I'm sure the family is gong to love them.
OH... There is one of the baby on his back and it looks like there is a poop stain on the blanket above his head.

thanks! there is significance to the statue, it's where the dad proposed to the mom, so they wanted it included in the shots.
