Baby Steps…

Posted in Henry, News, Personal, Photography  by Mike

My son, Henry, the inspiration and driving force behind Baby Feet Foto, is almost a year old. Well, he’s almost 10 months old….but as every parent knows, almost 10 months is *almost* a year!It still amazes me sometimes that I’m a father. He brings an endless amount of joy to Alison and I, and I truely can’t imagine life without him.He’s starting to look like he’s going to take that first, daring unassisted step anyday soon…before we know it he’s going to be hitting us up for his first wheels! Since I spend most of my waking hours with a camera clamped to my face, usually pointed to someone else’s baby, I am making a very big effort to document my own little superstars daily life. Here’s a few recent ones….

Big Babies! Well, seniors to be exact.

With Baby Feet Foto I take care of the smallest members of your family, my new studio, Times Two Studios aims to take care of everyone else. Along with my fellow photographer, Craig Ferroggiaro, we are putting together some amazing packages for seniors and families.

Our senior portraits will be modern, fun and make you the coolest kid in town. Here are a few from a couple of recent shoots with Liam and Teresa:

Portland Street of Dreams 2007

Posted in Photography  by Mike

Outside of shooting babies, I also in the process of setting up a new commercial studio here in Portland with another photographer, Craig Ferroggiaro.

We had the opportunity this week to shoot at the 2007 Portland Street of Dreams.

The houses weren’t really my taste (and if ever I have the fortune to be paying over $2m for a house, I want more than 6 feet between me and my neighbours!) but they were great fun to wander round. All the staff involved with the Street Of Dreams - organizers, realtors, designers - made the day worthwhile though. Here are a few details:
