I’m excited to finally pause to share some of the moments I captured for Jason & Daria of their baby boy Donovan. Jason who is also an amazingly talented designer and one of my colleagues plotted a few awesome creative ideas for his baby boy’s photos. Donovan who was an adorable and content little guy for most of his photos at times had some ideas of his own that just made for a little more fun for us as we were challenged at times to capture some of these moments. I spent time admiring this precious little miracle and all of his perfection. We even had one of his pups join in to help us test a shot before one of the poses, which is just too cute not to share. Majority of Donovan’s photos were taken just before he turned a week old. Over the next two weeks his daddy built a letterpress collage to take a photo a lot like the one I had taken of Chance two years ago. I learned two years ago that that wonderful idea to photograph a newborn on letterpress wasn’t so easy, and with Chance it was more so because he was a little older than a newborn because of the time he spent in the nicu. So I was excited to get to try a similar shot again, with hopes to do something far more amazing …but preparing myself with the challenge of working with a newborn against all that type. It took a few attempts, but thankfully Donovan gave into our ideas and we hope you’ll agree that the moments spent with this little man are quite priceless.
Jason & Daria thanks again for all your patience and putting up with all my silly ideas…totally love your little man Donovan – he’s such a blessing. Best wishes to you all!
