This is a photo of my 10 month (actually 10 1/2) pregnant wife, Danialle. Seven days later, our beautiful daughter, Adelaide, was born.

Knowing that Danialle could go into labor at any moment, I wanted one last opportunity to photograph my amazing wife’s progression. At sunrise, we grabbed some photo gear, jumped in the car, and made our way to Montrose beach, in Chicago. It was a very cold morning.

To me, this photograph captured the moment perfectly.

And the following photograph was taken after we finished the session and headed back to our car. The impetus for taking this photo was realizing, very soon, we would be joined by a third shadow.

Kari & Chuck are expecting their first child, and they only have 3 short weeks to wait to meet him/her. “Pigsocks” is a nickname given to the baby by Kari’s nearly 3 year-old niece. How awesome is that?

Congratulations to you two! I can’t wait to meet Pigsocks.

Thanks for visiting!

I whipped up a design for Danialle’s Chicago baby shower invitation and had it printed onto 5″ x 7″ flat cards by the fine folks at ProDPI. This was my first press printed order with ProDPI and I’m extremely pleased with the result.

Here’s a better look at the photograph used on the invitataion.

*UPDATE* ProDPI requested permission to use this invitaion as a sample for their 2009 trade shows. Awesome!

This photo was a collaborative effort between Danialle and I. Concept by Danialle, photographed by me, and processed by Danialle.

FYI, the red blob in the background is our rubber devil ducky. It is part of our rubber ducky trifecta (regular ducky, devil ducky, and zombie ducky).

Now that the Holidays have passed, the countdown has begun for the both of us.

Danialle - 24 Weeks Pregnant (click to enlarge)

What a better way to unveil the new Foytography site than with a pregnancy portrait of my wife Danialle.

Danialle is walking briskly through her 24th week of pregnancy. Her tum-tum is growing noticeably every other day. I’ve been able to feel Adelaide (“Addie”) move for the last couple of weeks and it keeps getting stronger. Amazing.

Lighting Info: Quantum T5D-R Qflash, set to 1/16 power, wide-angle diffuser, 18″ inches behind white fabric shower curtain (to simulate a large window). A Nikon SB-800 was used to control the Qflash.
