9am on the nose, I was out the door and onto a small village just west of me where my friends Kelly and Orlando live. It was exciting, I was going to meet their new son Anton... who I have known from inside the belly from my first meeting with Kelly a few months back. You remember, the wonderful woman who yelled "Is that my photographer?" from across the hospital halls. From her amazing maternity shoot just 2 weeks ago. From the fact that her water broke just hours after we finished... Yes, I have some stories from this bunch already!
Its only been 2 short weeks, but the perfect time to meet this new little one and capture his first images. As I entered their home, the first thing I noticed was how amazing Kelly looked. I mean she was bright eyed, excited, and all ready to go... surely not what one would expect with a newborn in the house, with feedings and changings and sleepless nights. Not this woman... she simply looked wonderful. Next came daddy... looking just as excited, just as eager and surely not tired. I wondered just how this couple does it? Then, I met Anton... with his big beautiful eyes, with full head of hair, little chubby fingers and toes. Already moving like a little munchkin, lifting his head and very alert as he looked me and my camera over as to say, "I know you Ms. Lady". I was instantly smitten.
This had to be the most fun I have had in some time... as we all laughed at Antons little antics. At the way he watches you as you walk around the room. At the cute smile and puckered little mouth that mommy and daddy brag on claiming "that's just how he looked right when he arrived into this world." Right down to the cutest thing I have ever seen... to get little Anton to calm down, daddy reads to him... from what else? An automotive magazine!!! That little man quieted down and turned his head to his father and listened ever so intently. I see many nights in the garage fixing up classics and shining up chrome.
So I thank you both once again, for an amazingly fun experience. I love this little man... makes me want one of my own, if you can promise me my experience would be just as perfect as yours has been? :)
He is beautiful~

Deborah,
You completely captured our family with your camera(s). I absolutely love these photos, especially when you caught Anton's kiss face. Thank you for a fun morning and some great memories.
