Contrast

Mandy Moore Concert. I know a bit cheesy, but it was a folk album (just released last year) which has some catchy tunes on it. It was fun because it was concert to about 75 people. The stage was only 5 feet away and it was free (the only thing I've ever won from radio). If you haven't heard heard any of the music from her newest cd, you should check out "Swept Away."
This is from a concert I was able to attend. It was cool because they let us take recordings and photos, the only restriction was no flash, which I am usually keen to drop, but the light was less than optimal. Thus the less than sharp pictures. I was playing around with contrast, I love to create extremes between light and dark. I enjoyed the concert, but playing around with photos has to be more fun.

Bella

I had to post another picture of Bella. Oh and correct a little of the information I posted earlier about her arrival. She apparently got here even earlier than I mentioned. She was here at least an hour before that. The delivery was quite an event. Steve and Summer barely made it to the hospital, but it was the wrong hospital and Steve barely had time to park the car before she arrive. Summer said they were at the hospital around 15 minutes and Bella was born. She couldn't wait to see her mom and dad. Too bad for Summer though, she didn't have time for any drugs.

Memorable Memorial Day!

I can't wait to take more pictures of this beautiful baby!!

Ethan is such a sweet big brother! Steve said he is always saying Bella is "so sweet." Really, Ethan is SO sweet! Baby Bella is beautiful. She even opened her eyes a couple of times while we were there. She weighs almost nothing. I loved holding her! Congratulations Steve and Summer!

Early & fast arrival!

Baby Bella - Bella bebe!

Bella joined the Fink family on the 21st of May, 2008 at 2:45am. She was very eager to get here since she wasn't due 'til the 28th and she barely made it to the hospital to be delivered! I have been sick so I haven't been over to see her yet, but I am SO excited! This picture is courtesy of a proud Grandma Fink! There WILL be more pictures to come!

Babies!

You never know what mood babies will be in, but it doesn't seem to matter. I love the angry faces as much as the happy and serene ones.

Of all the portraiture that I have done, babies and new mothers really capitivate me. I'll take so many pictures that sometimes I don't know what I've captured and going over them later I get really excited... and sometimes the planned photo works better than I expected. The light was perfect these days.

Birthday Week

Tyler was luck enough to have a birthday week. At least two cakes and several celebrations.

Chase was sure he was leaving. He waved goodbye and went out to the car. Thankfully he had misplaced his keys.

Sunset

Although it doesn't look it, the sun was near setting, or at least that's what dad kept telling us. Overall we were watching the sun set for an hour.
