Wow! It's hard to believe that I'm going to be a grandpa in the next 2-3 weeks! Certainly I can't be that old. Then again, we all know, old is just a state of mind.



Kelly and Andrew wanted to do a pregnancy portrait, and we both agreed that we didn't want to do a typical image. So we went out to an area on Balboa Island and did these portraits that I think really capture who they are...fun people who are some of my closest friends.




Most of these portraits were done with a very long, 400mm lens that I just love, because the lens compresses the feeling of the background, and really makes my subjects stand out. This last image was done with a little lens called a "LensBaby", which produces an image with a very selective focus point. It's great for giving a feeling of motion and blur.



You can be sure there will be more on Kelly, Andrew and their baby girl in the weeks to come. I can't yet reveal my granddaughter's name...even though I guessed it several months ago. You'll just have to be patient.
