Welcome to the world!

My super amazing co-worker had a baby last week. We are all so excited to have this new little bundle of joy in this world! I selfishly hate having her mother gone from across the hall, but I will sacrifice.

Since I got this cool, new to me, real camera I wanted to play with it some and take some photos of the new baby. I decided that I needed to practice before I went to shoot the baby so I asked another co-worker and amateur photographer friend if I could come shoot her baby. I knew she would understand and support my need to practice my photography. Besides, her baby LOVES me. Her baby also happens to be a dog. :)

I'm really not very good with portrait photography. My dad is a portrait photographer and he is awesome!!! I totally struggle with where to put people. I was a photojournalist. I always said that I was much better at capturing the moment than creating one.

So here are some pics from both. I don't have lighting or anything so these were just shot in their apartments. I was able to have some window light with the baby baby, but there wasn't any outside light for the puppy baby shots.
