We're having a baby!
The past months have been nothing but reading, buying, set-up and hospital visits interspersed with some eating and sleeping. I can't believe I'm actually going to be a dad!
While writing this I'm sat in the office opposite my phone, propped up by the giant container of multi-vitamins that I never remember to take. Every time some inconsiderate so-and-so messages me to see how I'm doing, offer their old baby paraphernalia or share priceless advice, I jump out of my skin. I've been on the verge of a heart attack for over three weeks now. Last week the Wife called me... "Oh my goodness, darling!!!... You forgot your lunch..." Imagine my reaction to the initial excitable phrase. Needless to say phone calls are now off the table unless it's time to jump into action.
"Oh my goodness, darling!!!... You forgot your lunch..."
Looking forward...
Right now all I can think about are all of the wonderful creative family photos I've seen all over Pinterest and actually, the rest of the web.
Some of these images require a lot more set-up than others. I'm not lucky enough to own big lighting set-ups and lots of space to shoot. Others, however are very achievable and require just some simple props that are quickly available.
Having recently got my hands on a tripod I will definitely be shooting these soon.
Saying that... let's wait until the baby is actually born and settled down. I don't even know what my energy levels are going to be like in a weeks time.
This portfolio from Ann Wo has some lovely images focused mainly on interesting materials and nice lighting.
Take Away
Being a dad means having new priorities. Posting updates and interesting content is always going to be more difficult than it ever was but that's not to say that I wont give it a damn good go.
Watch this space...
