CloseDo I sound like a proud papa or what? Yeah Zoe is exactly 3 months old today so of course we took some 3-month pictures. It’s amazing how much she’s changed in just a short time.
Most of the time, Rachel and I both just stare at her and can hardly believe how beautiful she is (good thing she got her mama’s looks eh?)
Here’s just a few from my little lady’s session.
Well, we came home from the hospital on Friday, I shot a wedding on Saturday, we shot Zoe’s official newborn session on Sunday and today I’m finally getting around to giving you all an update on how things are going in the Zahner house . . . pretty good actually.
First of all, Zoe and momma and both doing great. They are indeed the two most beautiful ladies I know. In fact, I was looking at Zoe the other night and I told Rachel, “I think you’re gonna have to do the discipline on this one. I don’t know that I could ever scold her”. My mother assures me I’ll change my tune as soon as she hits toddler-hood. But for now, I’ll stick to my assertion that my daughter is the most beautiful newborn ever created and that she can do no wrong.
As far as Zane goes, everybody has been asking how he’s doing with his new little sister. Actually . . . he’s doing unbelievably well! Seriously, Rachel and I never expected him to be sooo sweet and accepting (knocking on wood right now). We really thought he’d see her as a threat to how much attention he gets and it hasn’t been that way AT ALL (It probably didn’t hurt that the first time Zane came to the hospital to see Zoe, “she” gave him a present to open. I’m sure the new train set probably helped a little bit to win him over). But honestly, he’s been very helpful around the house. He went and got wipes and a diaper today while we were changing her. He’s been holding Zoe and “petting” her and giving little kisses. It has been really really sweet (see some of the video and pictures below if you don’t believe me)
Anyway, here is the video I put together today (to view it, you’ll have to visit the blog directly . . . just in case you’re reading this in your e-mail inbox because it won’t show up there). And then below that are a few pictures from her newborn photo session.
Assuming that the subject is 1-year old or younger of course. This is Jackson Miller in his birthday suit. Thanks for bringing him in this weekend Lindsay. He’s super cute.
Sara and Colby Palisch brought their 3-month old, Ansley in for a session this weekend. What a doll she was . . . and so well-tempered. I don’t think I heard her cry once in the entire time that they were here.
Thank you Sara and Colby for spending Saturday morning with us. It was a joy meeting little Ansley.
We had a 3-month old in the studio this morning. This is Jack Daugherty. Jack is a member of our baby club (well technically, he’s not . . . he doesn’t have a job or any money . . . but his parents are). Anyway, we’ll be shooting 3 more sessions of him throughout his first year of life so keep an eye out for Jack on the blog this year. I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of him.
Here are a few of my favorites from Jack’s session.
We shot a 6-month session for Elayna Kiplinger a few weeks ago (you may remember her from a blog post I made back in Sept. when we did her 3-month session). Anyway, her mother, Jennifer came over to pick up her prints this evening and after she got them home, she sent us this ever so thoughtful e-mail.
“Thanks again so much for the gorgeous pics I picked up this evening. They were so awesome! I loved them all! I had to hurry home and put them straight up in the frames to enjoy. Rachel is right, the 11×14 is mesmorizing. The wallets were absolutely breathtaking and usually that can’t be said about your everyday wallet size photo. Then again, Tyson is not your everyday run of the mill photographer either. Thank you again so much for your talent and patience with my 6 month old baby girl. I will cherish these photos always.”
-Jennifer Kiplinger
Thanks again for the kind words. We look forward to your next session in Feb.
Here are a few of the pictures that Jennifer now has hanging in her home.
Our friends, Wes and Tish came over this morning with their 4-month old little girl, Leah for a studio session. This little girl has the most piercing blue eyes you’ve ever seen. What a doll. Her baptism is tomorrow so we did some shots in her christening gown. Also, Wesley is an officer for the PV police dept. so we incorporated his uniform as well. Below are a few of our favorites from the day.
We really do shoot little ones in addition to teenagers. This is Elayna Kiplinger. Her mom, Jennifer brought her into the studio back at the beginning of September. Beautiful little girl!
Back in April, Barry Brueggeman (age 27 / former Quincy University Football star) was killed in a one vehicle accident just a month before the birth of his first child. I work with Barry’s wife, Deana at Jackson Middle School and I was just shocked when I heard the news. I think we all were. It was just a terribly tragic situation.
Well, Barry’s legacy is sure to be carried on by his son, Keegan. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Keegan today. He is just 3 weeks old and he may just be the most photogenic newborn ever!
I’ve heard every cloud has a silver lining. Well this sliver lining is named Keegan Bear Brueggeman.
So our good friends, Beth and Jason St. John (who in many ways are responsible for the launch of this whole photography thing back in Oct. 2006 with the birth of their first daughter, Katy) just had another little girl. Her name is Margaret Beth St. John – A.K.A. – Maggie, and she is Super adorable!
Well, I’ve had this idea for a while now about a concept shot of a baby sleeping in a hammock, but haven’t really had the opportunity to try it . . . until now. Enter beautiful baby and parents who are open to the idea and Viola! Idea turns into photograph.
Check it out.
