More from my afternoon with Daniel and his mum. I had a hard time confining myself to just a few of these because this little fella is just gorgeous. Thanks again to Maura for her patience and for allowing me to show these. If you’d like to see some more there’s a link at the end to the Flickr set.

I mentioned yesterday that I was doing my very first newborn shoot today and this is Daniel, just 10 days old and absolutely beautiful. His mum Maura was so laid back and patient and Daniel was a natural. I raced home and started working on the photos straight away because I was so excited and nervous to see how they turned out. I certainly learned a lot, particularly that I really love newborn photography! I’ll post a few more over the next day or so.
Benny is from China and he works with my Mum in the dental clinic. He is the sweetest guy you could ever meet and so he’s perfect to have nearby when you’re at the dentist!
On another note, I’m photographing a newborn tomorrow…just 9 days old! I’m really excited because I’ve been hoping for the opportunity to photograph a tiny baby for ages. Hopefully I’ll be able to share a few on the blog when I get them processed.
Ryan has been showing off torturing me demonstrating his new Canon 5D camera in his latest photographs. However fond I am of my 10D, it really is showing its age these days and I’m slowly squirrelling away my euros so I can upgrade. One thing that has always been difficult for me to grasp is the whole idea of the crop factor. I would try to read up on it but it’s all technobabble after awhile and I couldn’t get a clear idea of the difference. If you’re at all interested in knowing what makes the new cameras better than the old ones like mine (besides picture quality but that’s a whole other post) this link is very cool. It shows just what you’re losing through the crop of the older cameras and I was quite surprised at just how much the crop takes away:
OK, I got waaay off track there for a couple of weeks and am very behind, but I’m reluctant to give up on this project of mine. Plus, when I saw Grace walking towards me today I had to snap her portrait. I did try and get back into it earlier this week but all of a sudden people were turning me down. They were all friendly about it but still…rejection is tough!
