One Look?!?

I have been quiet for a while. To make up for my absence, I am now going to reward you with some of the best photos ever.

It's model 'slash' baby and not the other way around

It's Mer-MAN.......Mer MAN 

For those of you who don't understand the blog title or the two captions above, I highly recommend that you go....nay....run out to rent Zoolander.

Early morning

No one on the platform. Off to work on a rainy day.

Unions....

A quick snap on my phone from the subway station. I haven't ridden the subway in a year and a half, it surprised me how loud it is in comparison to the GO train. And then I looked around....people chatting, smiling and reading. It made me smile to see the connections and interactions, it is really beautiful to watch people interacting with each other.

Here's to the unions and connections between people.

A break...from the computer

So, I said it a week ago - step away from the computer. Well that's easier said than done! 

I spent all day Sunday tethered to the computer; editing like crazy and setting up a photo proofing website. I can now share my shoots in a forum much better than my current email/ personal file delivery system.

I'm in love with it - www.belovedmuse.shootproof.com. I was able to immediately put it to use with the completed set of images for Miss J. It felt great to finish something that I had been wanting to do for quite a while.

What didn't feel so great was that I spent so much time in front of my computer. They say familiarity breeds contempt, so I am stepping away from editing for a few days, so even though I will still be shooting every day, I won't be posting any of those pictures this week.

But, what you do get are a few choice shots from my date with Miss J.

Introducing Today's Muse: Mr J

I was really excited when Mr J's mom contacted me about taking some newborn shots a few weeks ago. I guess I wasn't the only one! Mr J came into the world 5 weeks early and was an itty bitty little guy weighing in at just over 4 pounds. To get an idea of just how small that is, check him out...

oh my god...we had a baby.

I know, right? You want to eat him whole. He's praying that you don't (no really, look, he's praying). Or may he was praying because I kept looming over him raving about how I may consume him whole.

There's also something about dads and small babies. My heart almost melted watching dad scoop up baby J to smother him in kisses and love. All babies should be loved this much.

seriously, how tiny is this little guy?

It took a while for him to fall asleep, but once he did we got some amazing sleepy baby shots.  More photos to come, but here is a little teaser for you. Congrats Dara and Andrew! He's one of the cutest babies I've ever seen!

He had the perfect little head of hair! And those tiny fingers! Gah!
