Sometimes it hits me how influenced my life has become by Instagram. I use it to scope out cool spots to visit when I’m traveling, to scout locations for my clients, and all day long for visual inspiration.

A question I get asked a lot is whether a mini session can really be enough time to get good photos.
Sometimes it hits me how much my mind is occupied in virtual reality, and how much I stare at a screen. It makes me want to do something about it…
Hey, friends. Things have been pretty busy around here the past 7 days. I’ve been editing lots of family sessions, and gearing up for several photo events in Cleveland starting next week. How was your week?
The International Family Photo Tour is off to a fantastic start! I just returned to Cleveland from Seattle, where I had the pleasure of meeting lots of gorgeous little ones at tottini, a modern furnishings store with stylish accoutrements for babies and kids.
Come celebrate the launch of Sarah Sloboda’s Stereo Viewers on June 24th at Noodlecat — Cleveland.

During my spring visit to NYC, I had the pleasure of doing some wonderful family portraits, including both my traditional photojournalist-style portraiture, as well as my new 3D coverage. Locations spanned Riverside Park on the Upper West Side to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and spring was abloom!

When I put together the Sawyers‘ 3D reel, I was sensitive to making sure the photos worked in the format. It was a new and tricky procedure to shoot in stereo, as the subject of the photo needed to be relatively centered in not one but *two* slightly different frames. With moving child and baby chick subjects, not to mention the added complexity of shooting on a telephoto lens (had to be further back from the action than I’d normally prefer), shooting in 3D had me stretching my compositional and timing skills to the max.
HOP ON OVER TO A CLEVELAND EASTER EGG HUNT!
The arrival of your baby is monumental — it’s one of the few times in your life that practically everything is put on hold so that you can prepare the way for this precious new life to begin. While this time will inevitably be ripe with questions and newness, it is important to make a point to try to drink in the experience, no matter how sleep-deprived you are. Your child will only be a few days old this one time; the days will quickly turn to months and years. Everyone should get a document of when they were counting the days and hours, measuring the moments, when all else in life is on “pause.”
For the months of January and February 2012, I am offering a weekly drawing for a newborn session for a family in the Cleveland area. The winner will receive an in-home shoot* of their newborn baby, online proofing, and one digital file of their choosing. The drawing is for parents (new clients only) whose due date falls within that week, and the shoot must be scheduled within the first 12 days after the baby is born to qualify. It’s my way of helping Cleveland families relish and savor one of the most glorious moments of their lives — the arrival of a precious new baby.
