Waiting for Baby Beatrice


Nearly missed the opportunity to shoot my friend Amy and her daughter while she was still pregnant. That darn three week flu overtook me and arrived on the day we were planning to get together. Lucky enough we planned a girls brunch a few days before she arrived, and I was able to spend some time before brunch with Amy and her daughter Camille.

This has probably been my most challenging self-assignment so far. Between Camille, Amy, the cat Euclid, and the family dog, it was a bit of a juggle to get good shots. Definately a skill I need to work on. I was so distracted with that, and trying out a new lens on my camera that I didn't realize until later that I had shot the whole dern thing in auto. So much for practicing my skills!
I've signed up for a 6 week class starting next month, so I'm hoping for clearer sharper more creative shots in the future! Here are some of the better shots from our "waiting for baby Beatrice" session. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to do a Baby Beatrice shoot soon!
