Just another great product that I had the honor of photographing. I love, love doing product photography! Well, usually only when it is a baby, child, family, or maternity product, or just something really cool. It is all about lifestyle and connection. And about mama’s. I love supporting other mothers whether it be through being a friend, mentor, or working with them as their photographer.

The owner’s son is the model here. He does not have kids. I am not sure how many babies he has actually held, but I think I did a good job in getting them to connect. The mom in the photos in a natural. She has four boys of her own (and one on the way!), so she was able to really love on Drew, who is my photography intern’s son.

But-”daddy” did have a really big tattoo all up and down his arm. I had to send them to my amazing, fantastic editor, Heather, over at Dark Room Diva, to work on getting the tattoo removed. If only it were that simple in real life (I don’t have one, but I had a boyfriend once that had a horrendous one and had to have it removed and it was no fun).

Anyways, these teethers are amazing! Just so, so perfect for little hands and little mouths. The silicone (no worries about latex allergies) part is nice but the metal part is so soothing. Check them out at Toofeze.com. Plus they are local, and you gotta shop local, right?

I really do just love everything about product photography, and do workshops where I teach other photographers about how to do lifestyle product photography specifically for babies, children,and maternity products. I just have to figure out how to do that full time, and I will be set. I am happy, too, with all the free products I receive as a result of the photography. It means I need to have another baby to really put to good use the things I receive. So, as of now, it is looking like it might be awhile before I have another baby, but I am still young, right? 32 is youngish, especially since I have already had two easy peasy pregnancies and births. My sister had her last baby when she was 40, so I have some time.

That’s all for now. I will probably post more later:)
