Baby Jasper

September 13, 2008 – 12:04 pm

This sweet little baby boy came to the studio earlier this week and he traveled oh so far…. about 2 minutes!  His mom was looking at the directions on how to get to the studio and realized that they were just around the corner, that’s my kind of commute!

When they arrived Jasper was wide awake and was ready to party, but let me tell you he was so good, such a sweet baby.  Although he did use his Dad for a diaper a few times, it seems like it’s always that Dad’s that babies like to do that to during photo shoots.  His parents were wonderful and obviously so in love with their sweet baby and each other.

If any of you out there have a newborn or you are a photographer who has newborn clients, I am here to tell you about something that will make your life so much better.  Baby Jasper fell right to sleep as soon as I plugged in my sound machine.  It has ten different sounds to choose from, Jasper preferred the heartbeat and the white noise options.  It’s only $19.99 from Target and as a Mom of a little one who had colic, it’s a priceless thing to have!

Here are a few little sneak peeks of this sweet little guy.

As you can see from this shot, he was starting to get sleepy, I love baby yawns, so so very cute.  I had just plugged in the sound machine just before I took this, I like how his Dad is looking at him, such a sweet moment.

He got a little hungry so his beautiful Mom nursed him and then we put the heartbeat sound on and he fell asleep.

They came two by two

August 27, 2008 – 9:28 pm

Today I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph a bunch of the cutest twins EVER! These little models just melted my heart with all their cute twinness (ok that is *so* not a word). They were all modeling for a awesome shop that specializes in clothing for twins and siblings of twins. I’ll share the name and how you can find them when we have all of the images live and ready.

I wish I could show all of the beautiful baby twins from today, but it’s been a long day so I’ll just give you a sneak peek of a few from today.

This little heartbreaker has a twin brother, but he decided that he didn’t want the paparazzi bothering him, so he declined and put his hand up and said no photos, please respect my privacy. Alright so he didn’t say that in so many words, but I think that’s what he would have said if he could have. ;)

For this next one, I can’t use the black and white version for the final one, but for my blog I just had to use it. I love how curious they look.

And the Winner is…

July 28, 2008 – 1:40 pm

Lori Wlliams come on down and claim your prize.  Email me (angela at angelacalderon.com) so I can send you the gift certificate for your choice of the a oh so cute and cuddly Bestever baby bear mat.

The way I drew the winner was oh so scientific.  I had exactly 253 entries, so I called my son on the phone (I’m at the office) and I told him to pick a number between 1 and 253.  He chose number 161 which just so happened to be Lori’s email number. 

For those of you who didn’t win (or for those stinkers who didnt enter ;-) ) you can still get a babymat at ShopBestver.com and if you enter in coupon code: photobaby you can save 10% on your entire purchase.  This coupon is valid until August 15, 2008.

All my wordly posessions (minus laptop + camera + lenses) are sitting out on the curb waiting to be taken to Atlanta.  Ok well they aren’t just sitting there, they are in the moving containers.  Godspeed all my junk (er I mean valuables), have a safe trip and I will see you at our new home.  I have to tell you, I am lucky that I’m good at Tetris because you would not believe the amount of stuff I was able to pack in to those tiny little containers.  Phew!

Enter to win for your baby, your furry friend or you could even give it as a gift.  Let me tell you these are the softest things ever, your little ones will love this for tummy time or just chilling on the floor relaxing.  I’ve heard that dogs and cats like them too!  Here are the six mats that you can choose from!

Remember my sweet little client Lola from a couple of months ago?  She had the giraffe mat!
