eric = one

hello all,

its been a tough week as i have been battling a cold and trying to get settled into the new place. i had some time to edit some pics of eric's first birthday which took place last sunday. he had some of his homie's over to celebrate, my trigger finger still hurts as i could stop shooting these little cuties. i'll be showing a full slideshow of eric's first year of pictures in the next couple weeks, i had so much fun taking his pictures over this year, i cannot believe how fast it has gone by.

here are a few of my favs, enjoy!!

baby eric = 9 months

hello all,

one of the best things about being a photograher is that you get to spend time with so many great people. robin, chris and little eric are friends of mine and i am so lucky to know them, they'll do just about anything to help you out. anyway a couple sundays ago i went out for a bbq lunch and of course i brought my camera along to grab some snaps of eric.. can you beleive he is already 9 months!! i cannot wait to look back through all the photos after a year and see how he has grown so much over time.

here are a few of my favs, he is too cute!! i just love his inspir(red) t-shirt, i have one just like it and its the most comfortable t-shirt in the world and it supports a great cause. click to find out more about product red. the next time i visit you guys i'm wearing my inspir(red) shirt so we can get a shot of us both, we better do it quick, little guy is growing FAST!!

cheers,

alison's maternity shoot

hello everyone,

this past sunday i did some maternity shots of the person who i thank most for getting me into photography, alison. i shot blaine and alison's wedding last august and they are expecting their first child in june. i'm going to be shooting a lot of pics in the future once this baby is ready to pop out, i offered alison my services in the delivery room to get some real good action shots, but we all decided that it might be best to wait until the baby makes it back home. they have just finished preparing the baby room and its just beautiful, i have spent many nights in this room after a many late night parties, i guess i'll have to make room for the little one from now on. please view pics below. after scroll back to here and WATCH SLIDESHOW.

thanks alison and blaine for letting be part of your new life adventures.

cheers,
derrick
