Shawn, Randall & Baby R | Maryland Documentary Family Photography
One of the joys of being a part of such a big moment in my clients' lives is watching them grow from there. I come in at a big transition, and sometimes I get called back in for other changes, like new additions. Shawn and Randall had Baby R just a couple weeks before I came to their house to do a few portraits and document a little sliver of their lives as new parents.
We shot in their home, as that is where new parents spend all of their time. I believe the "normal" is beautiful - the wonder, discovery, gratitude and also the exhaustion, the spit-ups, the poopy diapers. Life is short. Photos help. Doggies too.
(S&R - don't worry. I gave you a ton of color photos too. I just thought the black and white worked well for the setting.)
Baby R is so tiny! Congratulations, guys.
We spent the session wandering around their neighborhood and waterfront. This was this past weekend, y'all - the one good day in the last something like two months and the last one we might see for a while. Major planning win.
And, you know, it was NYC so I had to find some graffiti to play with. "Beau" is about the best graffiti one can hope for. We had previously rejected some F-bomb graffiti.
Of course we had to rock out the Subway.
Congratulations, you guys! I'll see you in September!
Congratulations, guys!
