Newborn Baby Photography of Kendall

By babies, baby photography, Masqueman Photography, newborns, portrait photography
Baby Kendall is the daughter of David and Kimberly who wanted to get some photos for announcements and sharing with family and friends. Here are the ones that I liked though they may not be traditional newborn style photos. I left the bare baby butt photos out since those are kinda personal.

The photo below to me is the minimum for any portrait. What else do you need to recognize someone?

One day her daddy can show her the watch in this photo and she will not believe how small she was.

If only we could have gotten the dog to look up. They told me that she is deaf,
but that still did not stop me from whistling at her to get her to look at the camera.

This daddy is in love. When he is not playing Mr. Mom, he is flying airplanes to Afghanistan.

In case there is any doubt, this photo should prove that the stork really does bring babies.
And in the end, Kendall was tuckered out and slept like a baby…

Portrait of a Good Father

By babies, Jason Caponi, portrait photography, portraits

Sometimes my favorite portraits happen when I am not exactly ready for them. I call these instances “happy accidents”. For example, I was using Jason as a stand in while I got my lights dialed in for a series portraits of his family. This first photo was taken with a single diffused flash and no fill which gives it a dramatic look.

It is the times when the subjects are not expecting you to click the shutter that they are the most relaxed, and you see their true personality. I was able to capture this quiet moment between a new dad and a baby who is his favorite little girl. You can’t fake moments like this.

4 Month Old Alessandra Photos

By babies, Halloween, photography, portraits

Little Alli is one of the cutest babies that I have ever met. Just look at that face!

For a child this young, she has a lot of personality. I think I saw her expression change from “joy” to “surprise” to “sadness” to “confusion” to the “look a kid makes when they have to burp”… all in less than 30 seconds.

I was lucky enough to take newborn photos and these are the follow up photos.

Helping Mom Get Ready

For babies, a lot has changes in 4 short months. They grow so fast and everyday their brains connect to new parts of their bodies. I learned today that they start to recognize faces around this time.

Just today, Alli learned to stick her tongue out which had us laughing, and me scrambling to try to take a photo between the tongue flicking out.

The most amazing feature of this child is her deep blue eyes which she got directly from her grandmother. It is almost erie how much those two look alike.

Since it was Halloween season, we had to take some photos of Alli in her pumpkin shirt. We would have taken photos of her in her costume, but “we” ran out of steam.

Babies can only go so long before they have had enough. In fact something strange started to happen to Alli and I had to put the camera down for fear of getting bitten. ha ha

Newborn Photos of Baby Alessandra

By babies, newborns, portraits

The name Alessandra could have at least 5 nicknames that can be derived from it: Alli, Sandra, Allison, Liz, Lisa… It is important to think of these things when naming your child. I am just glad that my parents did not name me Art, because nothing good would have come of that in elementary school.

Little Alessandra was just a few weeks old when she got her first studio portraits. She was fascinated by the large softbox and would not take her eyes off of it…  She never fell asleep either so I never was able to take any of the peaceful sleeping baby photos that I had planned. We’ll get those next time. See the full newborn baby gallery of Alessandra here.
Little Alessandra has red peachfuzz for hair. She will probably be blonde like her mom.
Hello world!

So tiny… just a handful.
Pretty in pink…
Hangin’ with mom!
Daddy’s girl…
Grandma and Alessandra.

Baby Tyler Newborn Photos

By babies, family, newborns, portraits
What can I say. Newborn babies are cute and little Tyler was as adorable as they come. I was actually one of the first people outside of the immediate family who got to meet him. We set up a makeshift studio in a very tiny playroom and started shooting in between feedings. Big sister, Lia, was a perfect little helper holding baby brother just right. It was not too long ago when she was just as tiny.
Big sister loves her brother.
The whole family.
So tiny…
Three generations…

Christmas and Birthday Photos for Danielle

By babies, photography, portraits
Check out the Chrsitmas Baby Photo Gallery

Danielle just turned one year old, and wow! is she growing. I have known her parents, Josh and Michelle for a long time, and we came up with a plan to take photos of “Dani” indefinitely for many years to come. Children grow so much the first few years that it is important to document them at this time. Everyday is an adventure through their eyes.

Check out Danielle's firs birthday gallery

We took some photos of of her birthday outfit and Christmas dress. She was a real trooper hanging in there for a long time for a small child. Her father, Josh, deserves an Oscar for “Best Comedic Performance” because he made a fool out of himself trying to get Dani to smile. I think it worked.

Baby in a Lightbox

By babies, photography

Putting a baby in a lightbox may sound like a very unconventional way to photograph an infant less than 6 months old, but it worked perfectly. If that was not strange enough, we put little Dani in a salad bowl too. This is the age where babies are just starting to sit up for seconds at a time. The bowl gave her just enough support to sit up straight, and it will be a wonderful reminder of how tiny she is now. Our plan is to photograph her every few months for the first few years to record her growth.
