So just to set the scene, in college I lived in an apartment with my buddy Zach. Living next to us were two girls by the name of Jenny and Chandra. We all became good friends and spent the year making dinners, watching movies, etc. Jenny met my friend Nate and they got married and are now in the process of popping out babies (good job Nate). Chandra got married to a great guy named Chris and also started popping out babies (good job Chris). Last year, I did a pregnancy shoot with Chandra and her husband when she was 8 months pregnant. It was a lot of fun and having pictures ended up being a great gift for Chris who was deployed before the baby was born.
Fast-forward over a year and what used to be a big bump is now a 12 month-old baby with beautiful eyes who is not shy of the camera. We did a little photo-shoot to celebrate her first of existence. Check them out.
This shot took a few tried before we got it right but the kid didn’t seem to mind. I just love this moment with the tongue sticking out. I wonder if I was so fearless at 1-year.
I love this next picture. I’m sure it is not one that Chandra will want to keep but the expression is priceless. I call this the “Aren’t you done taking pictures of me yet” look. Looks funny now, but when she’s an adult she’ll love it.
This last picture has Chandra calling me in tears to thank me. That is by far the best compliment you can give a photographer and I am very proud to have been a part of it. Thanks Chandra, don’t forget to call me when she’s 2.
