Well it is official... I might as well burn my film and trash my bodies and shatter my glass... my new son has ruined photography for me...
Drug dealers have a saying (well according to the movies I watch) 'Never use your own product'
As a photog I am ruined, all the photos I take now are of my beautiful muse. Who will buy these... sigh... hope grandma has deep pockets I was hoping to sell enough prints this winter to buy the Fuji X100 this spring.
Well I am off now... Eli is snuggle so adorably in my arms as I type this I want to set up a tri-pod and take some selfies... RUINED I TELL YOU RUINED!!!!
Congratulations and welcome to the group of "HI I am a photographer yet my photographs are all of my darling child" lol - seriously congrats on your son and enjoy capturing those moments, I know I have =)
I never used to take many photos, then I had kids lol. Most of my photos on facebook are of them and there's ALOT. Congratulations of the new addition!! :-)
I thought this was going to be a thread about how babies are so difficult to photograph! They are such good subject when the conditions are right. Congratulations man. We had a new addition to the family recently (not mine, my uncle's):
LOL! Not ruined at all- just changed :D The other stuff will come back to you! But seriously- can we charge the grandparents for prints- if so my parents are into me for TONS of money LOL!!
Ha!!! This made me laugh. I brought my first DSLR camera 6 days ago, and why? Because i'm expecting my first child in 6 weeks!
Congrats on your new addition. Given how obsessed we can become with our children (both before birth AND after) I think it's perfectly normal that this is where your attention is.... Pls share your new little man with us?
Absolutely! My daughter is 9 months and I struggle to photograph anything else other than my paid work. Which is why i'm taking on this project eventhough 2 out of 3 so far included her!
I think its a photog kids thing cuz taking pictures of my own kids makes me wanna run away screaming saying NEVER AGAIN! but working with a clients kids, not so bad.
I for the record LOVE shooting babies....
and even with 7 kids once in a while I get a surprise and get a good shot or 2 of them all together...
case in point.... fall pictures, and our christmas card.... (I sometimes love the outtake the best though!)
Congratulations! Enjoy every day, they grow so fast. I often wonder why my grands are so much cuter than my sons. Finally decided, it is better cameras.
Congratulations mate! :D

It has made my morning and quite possibly my entire day.
Congrats on your little one.
There is just something about babies that make them absolutely picture perfect.
We need more pics in this thread! @Jordan Anderson - WE NEED NEWOBORN PICS!
