PARTY OF FOUR

Posted on April 22, 2021

My friends Gary and Melanie have always been my ever reliable fans when it comes to my photography. I have taken their engagement photos back in 2015 and when they were expecting their first baby in 2019 I also took their maternity photos. So when they found out they were expecting baby number two, it didn’t come as a surprise when they asked me to take their maternity photos again. They wanted the photoshoot at the beach so I suggested the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Pier just north of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I thought having the pier in the background would be a nice addition to the sun, surf and sand. We timed the photoshoot early in the morning so as the light from the sun was not at its harshest. These photos were taken end of January and on the first week of April they welcomed a healthy baby boy into their family. Perhaps our next project will be a family portrait…we’ll see.

BABY MAKES THREE

Posted on May 13, 2019

Four years ago I photographed this lovely couple for their engagement photos. Melanie and Gary are really good friends of mine so it was quite difficult to say no when they asked me to do the shoot. My hesitation at that time was due to my inexperience with portraits although the photos turned out really great much to my surprise and to their satisfaction. Fast forward to February of this year, Melanie and Gary asked me again for another photography session, this time a maternity shoot for their first baby. This time I felt more confident knowing this will be the second time I will do a portrait photoshoot. 😬 Fortunately, Melanie did all the research (again) and found this nature park with a carousel close to where they live as well as a children’s park inside their development. I had so much fun doing this shoot as I was able to use the new techniques I learned online (ha!). Here are some of the photos I took and before I forget, congratulations to them for a healthy baby boy who was born this morning (May 13, 2019). Is a baby photoshoot coming up next? We’ll see….
