I L.O.V.E. this image!!!

I shared it here for my Wordless Wednesday and since it was “wordless” I could not tell the story behind the image.

Now, I can.

When these three sweet babies came to my studio with their own entourage, I knew it was going to be an event!!

There were three tiny babies, four family members and two photographers in one of the rooms at my studio.  Each baby had a family member ( mom, grandma, grandpa) to love on them and help during the session.  It. was. amazing. Color coded paci’s for each baby, tiny diapers, blankets, bottles, burp cloths, car seats and anything else you could possibly need for a 4 hour outing!!!

When the mom of these sweet baby boys called me a few weeks ago to schedule a newborn session, I was super excited – I had never photographed multiples and I knew I would need to take a crash course to make sure I was ready for a busy studio environment.  I had all of my equipment ready, my props, heater, blankets, sound machine, wipes, sanitizer….you name it….but I still felt like I could use some help.

I picked up the phone and called another photographer here in Knoxville and asked for a favor like this: HELP!!! LOL  Not really, but I did ask for help because I knew that his work spoke for itself and if anyone could help me, he could.  And that is what I love about so many of my photographer friends, both here and across the country.  We can call one another and ask for help or tips or even a camera body in an extreme emergency. It is an amazing community!!!

So, I called Jason Davis of JDavis Photography and he was happy to help.  His work with newborns is incredible. and he has photographed several multiples but never triplets – so it was new territory for both of us.   Jason attended a workshop in Nashville with Kelly Ryden early this year and his work has been even more AMAZING !!! (If you have not heard of Kelly, I would encourage you to grab a cup of coffee and get ready to enjoy some of the most beautiful images of newborns.)

The session was nearly three hours long and I think that the family had as much fun watching us as we did working with those sweet babies.

Thank you B for calling Blue Luna and a HUGE thank you Jason for your knowledge and help with this session. And an additional thanks to f32 in Knoxville for providing photographers in East Tennessee with the possibility to rent lenses. (amazing concept, right??)  I rented an incredible lens – the 24-70 2.8 for my Nikon because I do not own this …yet. (Merry Christmas??)  If you have not checked out f32, fan them on Facebook and see what the buzz is all about!!
