my first photo shoot!

Back in August, when I had my first DSLR (I sold it after 6 months to upgrade), I was itching to take pictures. My friend Deanna was due mid-August and asked me to take maternity photos for her right before she had her baby, and before we left on our trip to Israel. I was nervous at first even though I made a long list of shots I wanted to take, but soon fell into a rhythm and got some great shots of Deanna, her belly and her adorable daughter Sara. It was great practice for me! In the next entry I'll post pictures of her now 2-month old son, josh, who is simply scrumptious!

(Don't know why you'd want to, but please don't grab these off the blog to use anywhere without my permission. Thanks!)

Sara is very excited :)


I love this shot


Deanna + Mark



it took her a while to warm up to the camera...





one of my favs! she's looking at Indy like "hey, these are my snacks!"



she hammed it up eventually! ;)

angelic...

future model!

so much personality!


Can't wait for another photo shoot!
