Congratulations Denise and Curt! A few weeks ago I tagged along and shot second for Suzanne at their wedding in Barrington. Suzanne’s a great photographer and it was fun seeing how she does a wedding. Huge thanks to Denise and Curt too for not minding me being there. Shooting second to someone else is an interesting challenge. My main goals were to stay out of the way and complement instead of copy Suzanne’s coverage. Even though the impending weather forced the ceremony and reception inside, the rain held off long enough to do the pictures outside.

I had a session the other day with this fantastic 4 month old. We started outside but it wasn’t an ideal day. He found it too bright. Even in the shade if his head went up, his eyelids went down. So we headed inside, where he was much happier. Having a new little guy in our house makes the various stages of development really apparent. A few times I found myself thinking, “I wonder when T is going to be able to do that?” I find baby photography really fun because they’re completely unguarded with their expressions. If you’re interesting them, you’ll know. If you’re boring them, you’ll know too. Enjoy the cuteness:

This stretch of sunny days has been incredible (8 today). I’m not expecting this many days of sun in a row in the summer. I was able to take advantage of it again yesterday and explored the golf course at sunrise. I’m fascinated with the idea of making pictures that are within walking or biking distance. These were all taken within about a ten minute walk from our door. We’re working to make a lot of our life have less of an impact on the environment, so finding beauty nearby is important to me. There is no shortage of that where we live.
