I am currently in Philadelphia without the husband, who is the designated photographer, but I wanted to take advantage of my family and some of my old school friends for a Small Bites photo shoot. This East Coast “photo shoot,” was accomplished through me taking all the pictures through my phone. It included two different states, three cities, two babies, and a pair of expectant parents. Here’s just a little tidbit of what my friends and family accomplished together. I’m definitely one lucky duck to have people in my life who gladly offer up their babies to be my models…free of charge! I even got an offer to photograph another baby when I get back to California. Yup, we are surrounded by babies right now, and that’s why we came up with the idea to start a foodie onesie line in the first place.
We did have to battle against some quick moving little ones, which resulted in a whole slew of unfocused, majorly blurry pictures, but I think we also got a few good ones.
My one year old nephew Hyden is truly a foodie. Every morning like clockwork, he crawls to his high chair and can’t wait to eat. Then he kicks his legs in excitement anytime my sister gives him apple sauce. He was a good sport and open to my annoying camera in his face. Ironically, he ate oatmeal and PEAR puree for breakfast while he wore his Baby Pear long sleeve onesie in size 12-18m, and then enjoyed a healthy snack of “Organic Morning O’s.”
Expectant parents Christina and Jason showed me their pink, brown, and white nursery, while holding their Baby Pear long sleeve onesie in size 3-6m, in anticipation for Bella’s arrival. Christina is due very soon, so I kept telling her to have her baby while I was still here. I also told her if she has the baby while I’m on the plane back to California, then our friendship is over.
I also tried out a few hand and product/ logo shots, because I thought these pictures expressed a lot of emotion and anticipation from the excited parents-to-be. I thought the photo on the right was very sweet.
Then I went over to my friends Yong Mi & Joo ho’s place. Five and a half month Vincent and his big brother, Kenneth, are both 75% Korean and 25% Chilean. It’s so cool to see them growing up to be tri-lingual! It was hard to capture Vincent before he moved around, but it wasn’t difficult to get a huge smile out of him at all. His onesie is a little big on him, but that’s because his mom ordered a Baby Carrot short sleeve onesie in size 12-18m so he could wear it in the Summer when he’s a little older.
THE END! I know, I know… I couldn’t resist. Vincent had the cutest little behind.
