Christmas Portraits with Triple J at the Don Cesar

Two days after Thanksgiving I did a photo shoot at the Don Cesar for my customer I refer to as Triple J.  Mom, Dad and Baby J arrived at 8am on a pretty cool morning considering it was November.  The sky was overcast, the wind was blowing pretty hard and the surf was definitely up!

I took some great shots of Baby J in her red Christmas outfit amongst the sand dunes and sea oats.  I always plan a lot of time so that the baby can take a break from being the star for a few minutes.

We followed that with a walk down to the water that was crashing on to St. Pete beach just behind the Don Cesar.  Pictures with Baby J and her picnic basket turned out beautiful!  It took her a minute or two to adjust as she isn’t quite walking yet.  Once she was ready, so was I.  Grabbed 40+ shots and just before she started to cry we were wrapping that shoot up.

Next were some family pics with J, J and baby J.  Like the others they turned out beautiful!

We finished with some pictures in the Don Cesar with Santa Claus and the Christmas decorations.

I will post some pictures in the next day or two.

Babies portraits in the park - St. Petersburg

What now, I

Sunday was a lot of fun, I got together with another photographer and we setup a great lighting situation at a park in St. Petersburg.  We spent about an hour or so getting the lighting good and then called for the babies.  Dillon was a lot of fun, at just 2 months old he seemed to know what being a star was all about.  We were able to get some really great shots in just 20 minutes or so.  Then we added 2 more babies into the mix and within minutes they were all ready to be finished.  We finished up with some group portraits, some mom and me pictures and then called it a day.  I just looked at the pictures this morning, wow!  For a few hours work and about 200 pictures I got at least 10% that were excellent in every way.  Another photo success!  1st lesson in babyography - easy on the light, shoot for 20 seconds then grab a bottle!
