sweet little d

Posted in clients, newborn, photography by rik on June 4th, 2008

Two weeks ago, I had the distinct pleasure of driving down to Pillsbury Crossing to meet young master D, a brand-new, 11-day-old little boy. His family has some beautiful farmland just around the corner from the river crossing, which almost made me late getting there. You would think that Google could put on their map if your directions take you, oh, I don’t know, through a river! I did end up getting there safe and sound after calling little D’s mom, just to confirm that all of the signs reading “Warning! Do not cross the river! You will die!” weren’t really all that serious.

We had a fantastic session. It was my first session with a newborn, but since it was D’s first session too, we were all able to relax and have a great time. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Eventually, we got D’s big sister, little miss A, involved as well.

I think she’s a natural.

Finally, my two big faves from the session:

Sweet little D, thanks for sharing your time and your family with me. And thanks for not “christening” me,your mom, or any of my blankets or gear! You’ve got a wonderful family. Welcome to the world!

impromptu portrait on a rock

Posted in personal, photography by rik on May 9th, 2008

We took a walk after Family Home Evening this past week that led us to Wamego’s City Park. As we were heading back home, we found a rock and the kids sat on it.

Yes, of course I brought my camera to the park…that seems like a silly question. Don’t you?

of a patch of little purple flowers in our front yard.

And of a new blog theme (feed readers, click here to come see!) that allows me to post bigger pictures. I’ll be updating older posts with bigger pictures as I have time, so make sure to come back to see those as well.

Me likey.

But what do you think?
