Baby Chase

There are moments when you photographing something that you think: "Wow - This is why I do this." And then there are times when you're looking thru the photos the next week looking for a couple to blog about when you realize, "I'm glad I was a part of this. I'm glad I'm able to give Eric & Christal a momento of their child's life that they will always have and remember. I'm glad to be a part of the growth of this new family and it simply overwhelms me." It may sound sappy, and it is, but as I post these pictures on my blog and on Facebook I've realized I'm a happier person when I'm working---and suprisingly to me, I come to really enjoy taking photos of newborns.

I'm just super grateful that Eric & Christal emailed me after seeing Baby Sedona's pictures. If you remember Sedona, you'll remember her father Dave Mills--the crew chief of Xtreme4. Well, Eric was one of our world record setting riders for that team and he's now a proud father to Chase Addison Elena Goetz born on June 25, 2009 with his lovely wife Christal Goetz.

This session was a unique one since Chase isn't really a new born anymore nor is she a toddler. Plus, she wasn't quite cooperating with us. So, we improvised. We got the shots we could (which I love) and then set up an additional session late on Monday night once Chase fell asleep. It worked. And I'm now proud to present, Miss Chase Addison Elena Goetz.

Chase Addison Elena Goetz born June 25, 2009

Cancer is her sign and Water is her element. Water indeed...she peed all over the place both sessions. It was hilarious. It just kept coming!

Eric and Christal refer to Chase's hair as her "Rooster Hair" It just doesn't want to go down.
Nap time.

Ol' Blue Eyes

She really is sweet as can be.

"Ok, I'll give you my sexy pose."

"What? I thought you wanted sexy."


Eric says she loves to watch cycling. Maybe a future star.


The Goetz Family

"HURRY UP AND CATCH HER!"

"This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home..."

"And I'm the little piggy that just went wee-wee-wee all over your table!" hehehe

Urination is fun!

It's amazing how tiny they are.


"I'm a quiet little baby."

"Now let me sleep!"



SUPERWOMAN!


And her arch nemesis-- ONE-EYED SUPERWOMAN!

Baby Sedona

Meet Sedona. A bundle of joy, a cute little girl and the most excited and intense "SMILE" face I've ever seen. Last Sunday the Laura and Dave came by with Sedona for her close-up and was she ever ready (take a look at the outtakes). You might remember Dave from RAAM 2008 as he played the role of Crew Chief extremely well. The guy in all the pictures riding shotgun was Dave...he was also the guy that never slept for 6 days. Dave's also the magic behind the "Kip Pierson Photography" logo you see at the bottom of every picture. If you ever need any help in the graphic design world, you need to contact Dave---he's simply amazing and brilliant!

And Laura is this uber awesome triathlete who's now a mom training for her first 1/2 marathon since giving birth. Woo-hoo! (sidenote: you put on like zero wait when she was pregnant...CRAZY!)

Anyway, enough about Dave and Laura and more about Sedona. I give you Sedona. Enjoy!

Notice the excited "smile." This will become a running theme throughout the shoot.



Peek a Boo!

"This is Sooooo Comfy!"



Sedona's Godzilla impersonation.

And this is her impersonation of Godzilla's first victim.



"I definitely need a 5 minute break."

"Ok, I'm back"

"How's this for sexy?"

"I can also play innocent."

"WHAT! I know what I'm doing Mom! I'm a professional. WHAT? Just let me do my thing!
You think YOU can do better? HA!"

"Come on, bring it. Bring it! I said BRING IT!!! God Damn it. I'm in the zone, TAKE the picture! BRING IT!!!"

"Oh, you want attitude? You want edgy? No problem."

Just another normal day in the life of Sedona. :-)

Baby Ian

It's a busy time of year for us photographers. Weddings, anniversaries, sporting events and of course, new-borns. So needless to say, the Kilpatrick's and I were having a little difficulty fitting in a session, but we finally found some time this past weekend. Well, Ian Kilpatrick isn't a new-born anymore, he's almost 6 months old now, but a star nonetheless. With a cute little face and beautiful blue eyes, Stephanie and David have a precious little boy who I think is going to be an up and coming model on this blog for years to come. Thanks to David, Steph and Ian for hanging out this weekend. I had a blast...even though I may have had children's songs in my head the rest of the day long. :-)

What a cute baby!


This little piggy went to the market...




The Kilpatricks



Of course no photo shoot would be complete without some outakes.

Grrr! I'm hungry!!!
