The Coys | Maternity

My wife and I had the privilege to spend time with the Coys this weekend and take some pictures of the THREE of them.  Heather is due in about 5 weeks!  We’re so excited for them and can’t wait to meet the little one – they won’t find out if it’s a boy or a girl until birth.  Chris and Heather’s love for each other and for the baby is very evident, and we know they will be great parents.  Thanks to Heather’s parents for letting us use their beautiful home for this photo shoot – our first maternity session!  Hopefully the baby likes burnt orange (Hook ‘Em)!

St. James’s Park | London, England

I haven’t had a chance to post NEARLY enough of the pictures I took during our trip to Europe earlier this year, but I thought it would be a good time to put up two of my favorites from our last day in London. I just debuted my new homepage at www.fourthphotography.com, and the address for my blog has changed to blog.fourthphotography.com.  Also, if you notice any differences on this page, I actually changed the layout of individual blog posts – the page is now wider to allow for larger images… because this blog is really all about the photos.

Anyways, back to the photos.  These were both taken on the same bridge in the middle of St. James’s Park as we were walking to Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guard.  It was a crisp British morning.  People were feeding squirrels; several strange types of birds were hanging out near the water; and lots of visitors were milling about, like we were, enjoying the park before getting caught up in the crowds near the Palace.  The colors and reflections in the water made for some pretty nice scenery.  I really like this first image because you have three layers of content – nature in the front, classic British architecture behind that, and the modern London Eye in the distance towering over the landscape.  Hope you all enjoy the new blog layout and the new pictures!

Emerson Leigh | 8.16.2012

Our good friends Trent and Amanda asked if we would be willing to do a newborn photography shoot for their beautiful daughter Emerson. We happily obliged – not only is it a joy to take pictures of wonderful, new life, Katie and I really enjoy spending time with the Thompsons and their older daugher, Kinley.  Also, I was really eager to try out my new lens.  It was my first time working with an infant, so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect.  But Amanda was super helpful – she even sent me some picture ideas beforehand and links to a few other blogs with beneficial pointers for baby photography).  It took Emerson a little while to calm down, but once she fell back to sleep, the shoot was a breeze.  Emerson is 16 days old today – we hope you enjoy her photos.  Click on any of them to enlarge and feel free to leave comments!
