As a Ft Worth newborn baby photographer, one of things I have enjoyed most about this Project 365 is trying out different types of lighting. I traditionally stay in my Roanoke, TX studio for newborn and baby portraiture, and that works great for me and what I offer my clients. However, it is fun to practice getting out there a bit in real world situations.
I now catch myself observing the light. I know what time of day the sun comes in best in the different rooms of my house; I know where the sun sits in the sky during our traditional afternoon park visit, etc. It is really fascinating to notice my brain begin to analyze in that way, and I look forward to growing more and more over the next few months.
This week closed out January and started up February. It’s a big milestone to have stuck with this project for an entire month. I can’t say I would consider even a fraction of my work to be “good,” but at least I’m following through. The best part is that I should have a huge collection of our everyday moments for an heirloom. I am seriously trying to notice every little thing…what are our daily rituals…what am I missing in these photos? How can I tell a complete story in just one frame?? I’ve even thought about how to best photograph someone getting ice from the ice maker. I mean, it is something we do every day so there’s that.

I noticed that I’m hardly ever in any of these pictures, and I do make up 25% of our family. So, I gathered up the tripod and remote shutter to attempt a mommy and baby photo. I figured his afternoon bottle was as good as any time since that is definitely something this boy never misses. #chubbybaby
