Ever heard of a Fresh 48 session before? I had, but never had the opportunity to be a part of one until my maternity client (and good friend) Katie asked me. From the moment she contacted me, I was intrigued. A Fresh 48 is a documentary/lifestyle type session done within the first 48 hours of baby's life. They’re the alternative (or an addition) to birth photography and take place at the hospital, home, or birth center. Katie didn't want her labor and delivery documented but she did want to capture those first few precious moments of new life.
I love this idea so much I'm including these sessions...
I was very excited when my good friend and local artist Tracy from KrankyKrab asked me to take product shots of a new line of pillows she created for her store. She's a print illustrator who specializes in whimsical children's art and had recently decided to branch out into the 3D realm by putting her characters on pillows. I've always been a fan of her work and my daughter has several of her pieces on her bedroom walls. During our session, we were able to capture some lifestyle shots of her creative process. Tracy first draws everything by hand and then scans them into the computer to finish all of the details....
