Yesterday I photographed Baby Deaghlan. Shannon's little guy is sure a happy man. Being 6 weeks old, he defiantly did not want to sleep for us, but he didn't mind having his picture taken a couple of times. Most of the images where take with natural light and a large white reflector. The images where shot with a Nikon D800, 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4 Lens.
Check out some of the sample shots from the shoot!
Today I had the delight to Photograph Baby Taven. She is just 3 weeks old and looked pretty comfy during our shoot. It was not only great to catch up with Ashley, but it was wonderful to be able to photograph Taven for her. When you set up to Photograph babies, you never really know how things are going to go down. In the end it really all depends on their mood. So after Taven got her fair share of food from Mom, she was a able to quickly feel asleep and I was able to start shooting. She was defiantly a Little Super Model!
Here are some samples from the Baby Portrait session.
Some Behind the Scene Shots:
This beautiful 7 year old Mule is soon to be a new member of the Richardson Family. She is leaving a good home in Texas for 18 more arcers, endless hills and Montana Big Sky!!!
Here she is the sweet beauty!
The Woman of Playa Muerto and Pina's make these incredible Panamanian baskets. They are hand made authentic baskets, plates and other things carved out of Mahogany and Cocobolo Wood. The woman drive a pretty hard bargain when it comes to the buying of their merchandise, but sometimes they are willing to Flip on it!!
Here is just a small selection of the new baskets that have been added to "Jefe's" (the boss) Collection. Most likely the largest Panamanian Basket Collection in the United States!!!

The boys can't even watch anymore!
Here are more shots from our 3 months of Fishing in Pina's Bay, Panama. Some of these images where taken aboard the Picaflor, under the direction of Captain Adolfo. The first Marlin gave us a dazzling display. Jumping straight at us. The boat was powering forward and Justin, the angler, was reeling as fast as he could in order to take up line. When I get a chance later in the week, I will post the video that goes along with this fight. It was pretty amazing to see this fish jump like this. Nice release on the fish after as well.
Justin reeling his heart out to try and take up line on this crazy jumping fish.
This Marlin just kept jumping and jumping. These are the flights that photographers dream of.
Hook out and lure back, the boys release this nice Marlin.
The special Lure to win them all! Custom Made by Matt, even has our Mates face pictured in the Lure.

Justin trying his hand at pitching a fly back to a sailfish. The sail hit the lure a couple of times, but just couldn't get her to bite.
Nice Sail, our Mate Jonathan almost got a Bill in his arm.
