Martin had a great time at his portrait session done in his Grandma's living room!

Oops! I didn’t mean to make that sound like these are OUR babies, but they are a couple of babies we have photographed recently, and in the last week, we’ve had a chance to sit down with parents and show off their beautiful baby boys.

Martin actually lives in Kansas, but travels out here frequently with his Grandma and mom, and so he took a little time for the photographer to catch up to him at his Grandma’s Colorado Springs home so we could get some beautiful portraits of him. I think this one is my favorite. I think one of the things I like about this one so much is that it was done with all natural lighting. We brought them, but we never had to use the studio strobes. So, this is all window light with a reflector on the shadow side to fill that in a little bit.

What we find is that babies are typically much more relaxed and happy when they’re in their home environment instead of being dragged to a studio and have to be in a strange setting with lights flashing on and off. That would be pretty weird to you too, especially if you just woke up from a nap in the back seat of the car!

So, we really like to do baby portraits in their homes. The other photo of Gavin was done in his home in Falcon. This one is kind of funny because it looks like he’s trying to see if anyone is watching him try to get up on the chair, almost like it’s something he’s not supposed to be doing.

Gavin got to be around the elements in his own home which he's used to

Here’s what Gavin’s parents had to say about his portraits.

Tracy, these photos are fantastic! This worked out so well having you come to the house instead of us having to take Gavin and Tristan to a studio. Everything looks great and we can’t decide what to get. We want them all!

Chuck & Sharon Holland,
Falcon

Thank you for the kind words, Hollands, and we’re thrilled that you love your portraits!
