Another baby session I photographed recently was of Felix and Niklaus. While Felix was not too much convinced of what the photographer was doing, Niklaus had a bit more fun his images taken :-) Thanks for posing (more or less ;-) for me, Felix and Niklaus!
If you like to photograph babies you have to accustom to their time schedule. If they are in a good mood early in the morning, you have to get up early to take the best shots. If they want to sleep, you wait. If they want to eat, you wait. The good thing: There is no stress. You take what you get. You just have to be flexible and see what happens.
Today I was very lucky. Not only because I could photograph this baby session in my city, but especially because Lea was such a great model! Exploring everything new (the photographer and his camera) with her beautiful, big eyes. Being already 6 months old she was quite active. Moving a lot, turning from one side to the other. A challenge for a photographer. But she did great and only did get tired after 2 hours of taking pictures! Wow, I guess at the end I was more exhausted than her :-)
Thanks for being my model, Lea, and congratulations to the happy parents. It was a pleasure to meet your family!
After editing a lot of wedding images recently it’s baby time again :-)
When I got a phone call one day and Fiorello’s mum booked me to take the pictures of her future baby, it was still several weeks before the due date. Actually Fiorello was born on the exact day and I had the pleasure to photograph him two weeks later. He was really one of the sweetest babies I’ve ever photographed! Calm, patient, in a good mood and giving me a lot of time to take some great images of him. Congratulations to the proud parents!
Welcome to the world, Fiorello!
The first child changes everything in the parents’ life. Now there is someone else taking the decisions. It’s not the parents’ decision anymore when they will go to bed at night or at what time they will get up in the morning. Suddenly the whole world looks very different and they will start to see it from another point of view. Zsa Zsa rules the world :-)
For the photographer invited to photograph a baby session it’s the same. Zsa Zsa wants to eat – you drink a coffee. Zsa Zsa wants to take a nap – you chat with the mum. There’s no hurry, there’s no pressure. It doesn’t help. You just wait. Zsa Zsa rules the world :-)
Welcome to the world, Zsa Zsa!
In January last year I had the pleasure to photograph Janek, the first child of my best friends Michael and Eveline. It was my first “assignment” as self-employed photographer since I started my own business in 2007. With Janek’s images in my portfolio I was able to start and book some weddings and other portrait and baby sessions. Now it was time for the second round :-) Luana was born two weeks ago and Janek thinks it’s really cool to have a little sister!
Welcome to the world, Luana!
