Many of you know a few weeks ago I switched to Canon (blog post on this coming soon). After I got in my new camera, I immediately wanted to test it out before heading out and shooting an engagement session or wedding. Dylan and Sara (who are both incredible photographers) were kind enough to let…

First things first. I’m no newborn photography expert. Not even close. In fact, before Jace, I had never done any sort of baby photos. About a month before Jace was born, I decided I definitely wanted to try to do some baby photography. I had heard the best time is between four and fourteen days…

I’m totally in love with the floor! I’ve been struggling about what to do about that, and it never even crossed my mind to just go buy a little of it to just lay down. Thank you so much for posting this! 
p.s. my backdrops are fabric too
Just stumbled upon this–thanks for sharing your tips! My own little one is due any time now, and I’m completely inexperienced in photographing newborns. I’ve been looking for something like this to show me how to set up a background. I’m bookmarking this post.

This is something I’ve wanted to do since…well…since the end of 2010. I’ve had a blast going back and digging in last years archives to come up with some of my favorite images, moments, memories, experiences, families and couples of 2010. It was by far the best year of my life (so far). Luisa and…

Woah. It’s Monday. And here I am (Nate), blogging instead of Luisa. Luisa was more than willing to add another installment of Life Thru the Macro. I just felt a little sheepish. You see, recently, her posts WAY out number mine. And that’s embarrassing, because…well. She only posts once a week. So here I am…

that hair is so adorable, and that very last picture is especially stunning
Beautiful. Love. Those photos are precious. I am so happy you are enjoying it so much. You really got me excited to meet our little angel!

To say that it’s been an amazing last 12 days would be an understatement. First of all. I know, I know, MAJOR blog neglect. My blog hates me right now. Probably feels jealous of little Jace, since he’s stolen all my attention. And somehow, amidst all the craziness and excitement, Luisa, the one that has…

He’s so precious! Congrats again Perkes Family. You are truly blessed and what a fantastic gift for Jace to have the camera in his face all the time. It really is. They go through stages: they like it, they cheese it up, they hide, they grudgingly oblige occasionally. But they will have wonderful photos of them growing up, tangible memories.
NATE AGH! Congratulations. I am so happy for the three of you. He’s perfect and your photos are amazing. That yellow bin is rockin!
Oh wow! He is so cute! Great job on your first set of newborn shots. I adore that yellow bench(?). Wonderful photos.
what a little darling!!
Congratulations, he is so handsome! And the photo of him with one eye open over your shoulder is priceless.
Wow Nate these are GORGEOUS!!! And your little Jace is beautiful. I know, sorry for saying a boy is beautiful, but he totally is. Congratulations!
[...] of Jace and posted in different places, both on Facebook and on Nate’s blog [Check them out here or here or here]. We have had SO much fun finding backdrops and props to showcase our little [...]

One week. Today marks one week to our due date, which unfortunately the Doc say’s we will, and I quote, “sail right past”. Really? Sail? I mean, couldn’t it be like coast, or just barely nudge past? Luisa and I have always called ourselves a family. A family of two is still a family. But…

WOW Nate! She looks absolutely stunning!! I can’t believe it’s a week away. I was just rewatching the CL beginning and you mentioned your baby being due in Feb. I thought, ‘Wait, it IS Feb!’ So excited to see your family of two change to a family of three. And of course, to see the photos along the way. God bless you both and love and prayers over the next week[s]! -Laura

The other evening as the sun was going down, the sky was beautiful, so I really wanted to do some more tests with my SB-900. After much begging (literally) I finally got Luisa to come outside and stand in front my camera. I had interrupted her during a good book, so this had to be…
