for the youth

in anticipation of all the babies being born this year, i booked a session with some good friends of mine. they gave birth to baby Adelaide (hooray for girls!!) and i got to meet her on day 12. i found myself falling in love with the tiny little newborn. she was so alert and proved to be my most cooperative model yet! it was almost like shooting still life, still wonderful fresh new life. it was so quiet and calm, unlike any photo shoot i had been on before.



at the other end of the photo shoot spectrum is my latest band session! baby Adelaide's daddy is the singer and guitar player for upstanding youth, a positive, high energy ska punk band. they needed some new shots to help promote an upcoming mainland tour. we met at the band's practice space/ bass players pad. i could tell that there was a lot of fun stuff happening here, every video game and dvd you could ever need, musical instruments, a big fish tank, two turtles, and a recording studio. i tried to capture the fun and ambition of the band in their own environment.
