Kansas City Baby: Lovin’ Luke

I have to admit, on the way over to our session today, I was rehearsing meeting the new 12-day-old baby boy by saying “Luuuuuuke…I AM YOUR FOTOGRAPHER…” hahaha.  I know…I know…I’m a total geek.  I admit it.

Just as I expected, he was sooooooooo beautiful.  …and sporting an awesome new crib (delivered just the night before…NFM, sure took their sweet time!).  I was especially excited about the crib set and wall color.  It was all so perfect that we didn’t even have to leave the room for the whole session.

Strrrrrreeeeeeetttcccchhhhhh

I am in LOVE with this shot!!!!  Makes me want a baby so bad…but I must remind myself…we are done.  And I’m privileged to be able to photograph other people’s beautiful creations.

Katelynn and I played peek-a-boo and silver-circle-light-reflector-attack A LOT! 🙂  Which was awesome, because I hardly ever have used that reflector in the decade I’ve owned it.  It definitely got it’s use today.

This picture caught my eye and I’m quite fond of it.  I guess because it reminds me of my own family.  The way Michelle is tending to Luke and Mike is tending to Katelynn…that is sooooo Matt and I with our kids.  It is always a team effort to keep up with homework, cleaning, bed-time…etc.

I promise that Katelynn is as sweet as can be, and we got along so great today…but I caught this random picture of her giving me the “stink-eye”. hahahahahahaha  I couldn’t resist sharing.

How cute is this blanket & sleeper combo?!?!?!

Not sure how or why, but doesn’t it look like Luke is giving me a “Baldwin” look?  I think so, too. 🙂

I worked hard to get a good detail shot of Luke’s hand, and this one is the winner.  I love the way his fingers are curled.  Reminds me of a surfer’s wave.  And I am so pleased with my new Canon 100mm macro…the full quality image is sooooo crisp and sharp, you can see the ridges of his hand skin so perfectly.
