I shot Yinka and Sola’s wedding back in 2007 – I didn’t get to shoot the birth of their first child, but this time Yinka’s timing was perfect! They live out in Dallas and on Thursday morning I got a text saying that she had delivered her second baby. The following morning, I surprised her with a phone call to let her know I was on my way to Dallas to shoot a wedding and I would be happy to stop by and take her new daughter’s first portraits. She was quite pleased, and that make me all happy too. So on Saturday morning, bright and early, I went out to meet the newest member of her family. She’s beautiful.

What a workout! I got to run up to the Woodlands and shoot this super cute toddler Isabel and her older sister Taylor. It’s been quite a while since I’ve broken a sweat while working – and not because it was hot. Wriggly little Isabel basically turned the shoot into a game of duck the photographer. Every time she saw me she would run the other way, hence the multiple shots of her from behind. It was a really fun shoot though, and I think we got some great stuff. Check it out!

Whoo! What a game! We had a little superbowl party here, and it was so much fun. Admittedly, I’m not as into the game as the average guy so I spent some of the time playing around and shooting some of the guests. My favorite subject was a supercute 8 month old called Christian. She was such a delight, and smiled and cooed most of the evening as she sat in all our laps at some point or another. Here are a couple portraits I made of her at the party.

A little while ago, I got to shoot my friend’s family photos – their daughter is by far the most active child I have ever had the pleasure of shooting – it was so much fun, and surprisingly exhausting. We got to the point where we stopped trying to set up posed shots because she was so super-wiggly. We just watched her closely and if she paused we would all jump into position and try to make some images! Here’s what we got.

My old clients Amoni & Toju, now good friends, I’ve shot their wedding, engagement session, pregnancy pictures, pictures of their first baby Tosan, his first birthday, and most recently pictures of their second baby, Tomi. I had been calling Amoni every couple of days since she told me she was due in a couple of weeks, just to mess with her and lo and behold, the last time I called her, she said she had just had the baby an hour before! So a couple of days later, I made it to the hospital for Baby Tomi’s first photo shoot!
