She's here!
Our dear friends, Sarah and Conall, welcomed their sweet son, Gannon into the world over this past summer! We were blessed that they asked us to get some newborn shots of him. Pretend he isn't already a month old in the photos and pretend that we posted these in July and not October.
It was our first time doing a shoot indoors so we were learning how to adjust the camera for less than agreeable light settings. Little Gannon wasn't quite ready for outdoor lighting yet! We tried to get some of his two-year old brother, Clark, with Gannon but kept coming up short because man, Clark has a lot of energy! We got a couple, thankfully, but in most of the photos, Clark is just a blur! We ended up scheduling an entirely different session just to get some of Clark. I'll post those as soon as we're done editing.
In short: adorable family, especially those little guys! These are our favorites, and by our, I mean mine because I'm the one writing this post! Apparently I'm a big fan of mommy-baby photos since that's pretty much all I chose. Go figure, sinceI'm a mama to two precious girls myself!

I love Conall's face in this one!
Favorite! I love the maternal protection just shining through with the simple laying of her hand on his head. Beautiful. :)
I really like these two images, but I can't decide if I like the color one or the black and white one more. Opinions? I'm fickle and did both edits. Joseph, in all his decisiveness, stuck to the black and white edit.
Or...
Okay, this might be my favorite. Big brother Clark checking on baby brother!

My sister, Jeska, and her husband and daughter were all willing subjects for Melanie and I to shoot... Though, I picked up from some of the photos that maybe her husband (Jeff) didn't think this was the most fun thing to do on a summer night.
Exhibit A:
My favorite part of this shoot was, by far, Annie. How the heck did a five-year-old learn so many "model" faces and moves? She had us laughing like crazy!
Here is their shoot:
My favorite (#1)!
This is my fave.
Favorite #2. I love Annie's face in this one!
Melanie is dubious about this one... But I think it looks like on of those old family album photos that looks like someone spilled coffee on.
Not my favorite #1.
And off into the sunset.

Okay, okay, I told Joseph that he could pick out the photos to post on here from the shoot, but there were a few more that I thought were too cute not to post! Plus, Joseph didn't read my mind like I expected him to and left out some photos that I would have chosen.
Here's my take:
Our friends Kristin and Justin asked us a while back to do a photo shoot for their sweet son, Tommy's, first birthday. Yes, please! Since Joseph was working, it was my first solo shoot other than one I did a year ago with my sister (but that doesn't count because she's my sister). I was really excited for a few reasons. 1) I was getting out of the house; 2) Molly was going to have a blast playing with Tommy; 3) adult interaction; 4) I was getting out of the house; 5) I really love photography and any chance I get to shoot, I'll take it! I was also nervous because Joseph wouldn't be there and he's the pro with adjusting the camera. Technical stuff and I take a long time to get to know each other. It turned out pretty well, I thought!
Here are a few more images I thought should be added to show Tommy's little personality:
Tommy likes to stick his little bottom in the air and did it all through the shoot. I thought this was a pretty good catch:
Another one I really liked shows the progression of Tommy through the shoot. I have to compare it to one of the first photos I took of him. Joseph already posted the first one but it's the best comparison I have.
Scene 1:
Scene 2:
I wonder who wore himself out running around and playing with ducks? I also love the colors in those two photos.
Here's another I really like. It looks like he's saying, "Hey, Mom, there are ducks down there! Can I please go get them?"
To which Mom replied, "Yep!"
One last one and then I'll be done.
Isn't he so cute? I love his toothless little grin in the last photo!
Wait, one more. This one is my favorite from the session:
If you're wondering why our watermark is different in these two posts, let me tell you. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to things like that so when I was editing images while Joseph was at work, I tried to figure out how to put the watermark that Joseph so artfully put together. Though he had explained to me about a hundred times how to put it on images, I just couldn't figure it out! I ended up just typing Behnke Photography on each image instead. I chose what I thought to be a pretty font. Apparently it's girly. Um, yes, that's why I chose it. The photos from Joseph's post are the ones with our real watermark. It's not girly.
Cheers!
