Baby Oz

The last time I saw Oz, he wasn't more than a big bump in Erika's belly! Look at him six months later with tons of personality and style! I can't get over his itty bitty fauxhawk! Oz is going to be one of the coolest kids ever!




I went really retro with some of the processing... which somehow seemed appropriate for the mixed tungsten/natural light I was working in. I don't like to use flash around kids because it startles them- so I try to keep it "au natural".








Erika & Steve wanted something urban for the pictures with Oz, so we were lucky enough to find this cool run down looking building really close by with bright color, graffiti, and busted windows for something a little more "city"!

I LOVE these next two... I think they should be a set...




or maybe a series of three with this in the middle...

Erika, Steve, & Oz - I'm so glad we could get together again in Charlottesville, VA!! It's pretty cool how life works out, and I'm so glad that Beth & Fred brought us together! I had so many favorites that it was nearly impossible for me to narrow them down!! Oz is the coolest and I hope that one day I'll get to photograph him again!! Who knows, maybe the next time it will be in Egypt!
