Baby Berryman

By Anya Wait | December 9, 2007

Jen I am embarrassed to say that I completely forgot to ask you the name of this beautiful baby boy of yours! How completely lame of me. I was pretty sure you said on the phone his name is Noah….so I hope that is correct. 🙂 I had so much fun sweating at your house this morning. LOL! I can now only imagine what it is like for those people who do Bikram Yoga in 100 degree studios! Anyhow, here are two very quick edits of your wee little man. I have gone through all of the photos and the whole shoot turned out great! I am so thrilled. Let me know if you want regular birth announcements or announcements more geared towards the holidays (baby announcement wise). I will have more photos for you towards the end of this week. Until then, here are two!

So I have finally sent Christmas Cards off to be ordered. Not showing mine on here in case there are family members out there reading….you know who you are!!!! Anyhow I have been going through some older photos that were taken when the weather was warmer and I could actually get outside to take pictures without spending 15-20 minutes trying to locate clothing so I won’t die a horrible frost bitten death. I have revisited some pictures of Rowan from a time when I was trying to get him to pose for me. You know, like a real photographer. Only it seems that children of mom’s who have cameras in their hands on a continuous basis are aware of our schemes and ploys to get them to look cute and precious. They want to have NOTHING to do with that. So we photographer moms are basically left with this…..squinty eyes and tantrums. Rowan, some day I swear I will capture you looking at the camera with eyes wide open and giving me a cute little face. You know, the ones you give me when I don’t have a black box plastered to my face…..

The Final Card!!!

By Anya Wait | December 1, 2007

Hopefully this is the last of me on this Christmas card thing 🙂 I am, of course, NOT going to show my family’s final card….those of you family members who are reading this are just going to have to wait until you actually receive one the old fashioned way…..in the MAIL. Anyhow, Tonya here is what I hope is going to be the final card. Again, I am sorry about having to change everything around. I really like how this card turned out. Its always difficult to get an idea about people’s style, everyone is different, but I really think this card does suit this image 🙂 Front: and back: Let me know what you think. I can have it sent to the printers asap as soon as you let me know. Also, please let me know how you like your cards to be printed. Do you like them glossy? Thanks again!!!!

Our Family

By Anya Wait | November 26, 2007

My dorky Family, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Here is a family photo from our summer vacation to Hayward, Wisconsin. We rented a house on the lake and spent a week together, all 8 kids and two adults. Crazy, I know. It took a lot on my part to get this shot…which is why I probably look seriously frazzled, my hair looks horrible, and I think my shirt is falling off. Oh well! Enjoy!

Baby Amina

By Anya Wait | November 17, 2007

Eyes Wide Open tight crop, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Just wanted to add this gorgeous baby to my blog. Is she not just adorable???? Its hard to believe that she is 6 weeks old! And that I actually got to get a great picture of her. A lot of photographers shy away from baby’s after they pass 2 weeks until they are about 4 months old. That period of time tends to be awkward for baby’s and they tend to produce stiff poses that aren’t the cute snuggly poses people desire out of baby photographs. I have seen other photographers swaddle so I thought what the heck! This is Amina swaddled at Monty’s Blue Plate Diner where her mama Jenny and I went for breakfast. Who says you need a big studio to get great baby pictures?!!!!

Smoochy newborn parts….

By Anya Wait | November 12, 2007

There is nothing like a fresh newborn! It seems like it is taking me forever to edit these photos. For the most part because I am a perfectionist and I want them to look just perfect! Not that the subject isn’t perfect already 🙂 Here is smoochy baby Amina, 3 days old……

Happy Fall!

Rowan (red), originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Here is Rowan….supporting a very noble cause….Project Red (click side link for more info). He wasn’t really interested in being photographed today. Fortunately this shot is of fingers in his mouth and he didn’t opt to put them somewhere else……like his nose!
