For The Stork Studio, April was a month of huggable happy babies and hot moms-to-be. I really love taking photos of babies because it helps me wind down after a hectic week. Stan and I usually have a "feeling" when we have our "perfect shot" and we don't stop shooting until we get one. These range from stolen moments to all the way down to fresh tears or tiny hands clasping a mom's finger or a wet kiss. When people ask us how we do it, I usually say - we get lucky (and we have quick reflexes). It's quite difficult especially since kids are really unpredictable and you really have to be good at motivating them (which isn't always 100% effective) but so far, we have indeed, been blessed :) With our maternity shoots, I enjoy them particularly because we get to experiment with lighting and push our creativity. Adults are also easier to talk to of course. In May, its our first anniversary, and I can't believe how far we've come...from a dream of mine back in 2001 to our first shoot in 2005 with Bacchus and Ninay's little Jacobo to more than 100 clients later and a partnership with several magazines, we are so lucky. There are times that I get overwhelmed with the enormity of the blessings and support from our friends and family. Living this dream is pretty amazing, and I can't wait to see what's next. May is going to be a celebratory month for us as we reach our first birthday (expect some surprises and great deals). Here are some of my favorite shots from this month :)
