Rappa Photography Blog: Two Become Three

I was so excited that my previous wedding clients Megan and Chris contacted me to photograph their new family. It's great to document the continuation of their story and here it is.

Let me tease you first and just show you little baby boy's feet. Wouldn't this be a fun page divider between wedding album photos and family shots?!

And here he is...all dressed up and ready to go. What a sweet little man.

Have to shoot wide and get those little toesies.

Wide again but switched up the background. I'm always looking for interesting textures.

Eyes that explore....

....and find joy.

Excited to be three.

Some traditional family shots.

Let's add some family moments.

More carefree.

This is my fave of the day. You can never go wrong photographing through pretty flowers and shooting your subject tack sharp. At this angle it looks like they don't know you're there.

I stand up a little straighter and have them look at the camera. I like it, too.

We were blessed with the most amazing cloud cover (great way to shoot) and so shooting UP needed to happen. Add a funky lens and it's another neat way to capture the joy of this family. I envision this on the wall of a family or play room.

Back to traditional but I always like this.

Now for some fun with just mom.

I take some shots to show how little he is compared to mommy. This will be one of those images that make Megan's heart melt as he grows. (I hope!) (And just for the record I have the same shot of me with my son and I love it.) ;-)

I thought Megan looked particularly pretty here....and baby's perfectly straight body is hysterical!

Dad's turn...

He looks so sweet up on Chris' shoulders.

I love Chris' expression here...and the innocence of his baby's expression.

Use of blank space always interests me.

So I did it a bit more.

I get down low to the grass to capture the grass texture and so I can blur out the foreground. It's also good to be at this angle to capture baby's eye level perspective.
