A New Life

Friends of mine (Frans & Cindy) was expecting their first born late last year and asked me to photograph them before the baby is born. With our very busy schedules it almost did not happen before Kristin was born. The two photos here differ only 4 weeks!

Cindy arrived for the photo shoot with a bunch of roses. I was eventually a bit skeptical, but once I saw what she had in mind, I could see the potential. I decided to convert it to monochrome and to paint the colour of the flowers back to give a better focal point.

I will most likely later upload more photos of Kristin, but this closeup captured the essence of that first session with her the best.

Kristin is obliviously growing at a tremendous pace at the moment, and we will definitely have a followup session in the very near future.
