Big Brother Waits for Baby

This precious boy "C" has decided to name his baby brother, due in just a few short weeks, David. Now, his parents aren't quite sure they're on board with this name, but this little guy couldn't be more sure (or more sweet about this baby on the way!).

Little Pink Studio Shots

I thought I'd never like solid color backdrops but how can you not love this fuschia one? Ok, the precious little face in front of it just might be what makes the thing look so good.


And those TOES are way too cute for words, too!

Ask us about ordering a canvas of your favorite portrait from your portrait session.

I love rambunctious one and a half year olds! These guys were a crazy bunch of energy chasing geese in Serrano. Thanks for the laughs!

Finally the days are warming up a bit, even though we are still getting rain. Here are a few fun shots outdoors for a change!

Freebies!!

Ok, so we're almost ready to launch our little studio-style portrait sessions but we want to give it a real test drive first! We really love natural light, on location work so this is a bit of a diversion but Caryn just cannot let the studio idea go. What we'd like to do, to get a nice range of subjects for the portfolio, is offer free sitting fees for the month of February for 30 minute to one hour studio shoots. That's a $100 savings! This will be on a first come, first serve basis and sessions will fill up fast, so if you're interested, please drop us an email at caryn@eikonphotography.com Here's a little peek at one of our friends who came over to play today... a bit serious and a bit of a close up... but isn't he the best!?

Fun in the Studio

Ok, that studio is a fun little place to play! Look at how much fun Logan had today! He was so into this practice shoot and he just loves his Gap hat... made for a wonderful afternoon in the natural light set up. You can see Lauryn here too, dealing with the annoyances of her mom and this camera. Poor kid!

Absolute Model Looks

If anyone in the world could be a model, this little girl could be! And so could her brother... and so could her sister. Pretty sure if I was a talent scout, I'd be inviting them all to work immediately! But what's more, they're amazing little kids and so funny and charming and special. This was our first "studio" shoot in Caryn's new home studio using natural light and 10 million distractions. What a morning!

I love overcast days (and great hats!)

Here is one of my favorite shoots of the holiday season. Mostly because of these little guys' cool hats, some because of the awesome overcast skies, and a lot because they were SO so cute!

The bigger guy had a big fall just before the shoot so you can see his red goose egg under his hat (OUCH!) but look at how much fun he seemed to be having getting his pictures taken! Thanks guys for making this a fun day!

Beautiful Family

Are these not the most pretty kids ever? I didn't mean to shoot in their parents' bedroom that day but I walked into this most amazing light combined with that gorgeous bedding and I just could not resist! We did eventually get out and shoot some outdoors with the fall colors but these were my favorites of the day. Something about the rich tones and shadows that natural light was casting on these guys. No one cared really if they were smiling or looking dead serious... They just kept looking this cute!
