Many of our readers may know that back in August of 2008 we were nominated and awarded Bludomain's photographers of the year 2008-2009. Ever since then it has been fun to be a part of some of their shin-digs and especially awesome being featured among many other very talented photographers in our industry (some we like to call our friends). We feel super honored to have received the award and we're even more stoked that they used a ton of our photos to dress up their new site and blog! Below is the interview they posted yesterday:

I LOVE it when a client asks us to come and photograph a brand new baby, I LOVE it even more when a friend does! There's just something about being around a new little baby, so perfect...makes me want more (don't worry, I'm not announcing anything;) ). Baby Harper was just a few weeks old when we photographed her, btw, how sweet is the name Harper?! She was so adorable and performed very well for her first photoshoot! Presenting Baby Harper:
My favorite shot of the day!
Sighhhhhh, the little tid-bits make me so happy...so precious!
Second favorite shot of the day.
Justin shot these of Harpers "sister", I thought they were pretty cool looking.
And last, but not least, some of the many faces of Baby Harper.
Emily said:
