Jon and Erin recently brought their beautiful 3 month old baby girl Sophie into the studio for the first session of her “babies 1st year series”. I really think the baby stuff we do is my absolute favorite. Probably because I am strongly aware of how meaningful these images will continue to be to them over the years. The feelings of happiness, exhaustion, fear, excitement… all of it comes flooding back when you look at images of a new baby. Newborns are still so mysterious at that age, I think, because you’re just starting to get to know their little personalities and expressions and habits. They in turn are getting to know you as well. What a beautiful time. Baby Sophie looks so much like her daddy. She has a really strong connection to him. So much so that, Erin told me when he travels for work, Sophie doesn’t really sleep… which means mommy doesn’t sleep either, but I guess that’s a small price to pay for a strong daddy, baby bond. : )
Anyway, here is a little sample of this beautiful family of 3. Can’t wait to see them in a few months for session number 2.

Today was the 3rd annual Fun Triathlon for the neighborhood kids. I am proud to say that Lamar Studios Photography is a sponsor of the Fun Triathlon here in Agritopia. The cool thing is that I live in this great neighborhood that has a good sense of community. I can’t believe how many families we know here compared to our old neighborhood.
I forgot that the triathlon was today so when I heard a commotion outside I jumped up, grabbed my camera and hightailed it out the door just as it was getting started. Watching the parents is as much fun as watching the kids. Most of the parents are just as excited as the kids. They could be wearing a shirt that says, “Proud Parent” but hey don’t have to because it’s written on their faces and I love it. The kids often look like they are in pain (I know I would be) while the parents are happily cheering them to go faster and try harder. It’s great to see all the volunteers directing kids and traffic. It’s a little like organized chaos but never a dull moment.
Some day my girls may be in the race too. I certainly hope so, or a least I hope they want to be in some type of sport. The main thing for me is that this type of thing brings our community together. Belonging to a neighborhood, that’s what I like about Agritopia.
