Charles Odin Green
My sister and her husband decided to name my new nephew after both my grandpas. Charles (for the grandpa whose birthday he was born on) Odin (for my dad’s dad). Will and James still want to call him Odin, but I think it’s fitting to call him Charles. Too bad my sister doesn’t like the nickname Charlie or Chaz, but wants to call him Char. I like Char but think it’s harder to get used to saying…it doesn’t roll off the tongue the same 
Anyways, taking photos of Char was a breeze. He is such a quiet, mellow little guy. He put up with me moving him around and keepin’ his bare skin exposed to the air, which was probably chilly for him. I love this little guy and wish I had hours and hours to hold him (well, that is before I leave for LA again next week). Hope you enjoy the pics!

I had been looking forward to Mendy’s session for a LONG time! She is an amazing singer/songwriter who I’ve photographed at some of her gigs. The chance to photograph her for two hours was such a privilege!
Mendy is half-Italian, which contributes to her beautiful dark hair, rich brown eyes, and stunning skin. She is simply gorgeous and I loved that she was willing to ‘be serious’ even though it’s her natural tendency to smile big. I think she looks hot either way. Make sure to check out her website and listen to some of her mesmerizing melodies.

The nurses immediately took the new babe, weighed him, measured him, listened to his heartbeat, and cleaned him up. It’s amazing to watch them each work so fast and hard to ensure the baby is healthy.
gender: male
weight: 7 lbs 7 oz.
height: 21 inches
official time: 2:19pm (on 2/19/09)

The nurses came and prepped the area so that when the doctor came in, everything would be ready to go. The baby was eager to come — Sandy only had to push 4 times (I think). It was incredible as the doctor delivered the brand new baby. Tiny screams were heard almost immediately as he breathed his first breaths of air. I could feel tears brimming in my eyes, but I made myself pull it together so that I could keep capturing the beautiful moments.
Have you ever watched the birth of a baby?
This is daddy cutting the umbilical cord, btw.

My sister was induced on Thursday morning because of hypertension (high blood pressure). She was only 2 weeks away from her due date, so the baby was safe to come at any time: better out than in 
She was being pumped with drugs to induce labor, plus she got an epidural to help with the pain. No food allowed, she could only eat ice chips (yum) and she just needed to relax until it was time to deliver. Her almost-3-year-old came by for a bit to visit mommy before all the attention was on the new baby. He loved reading books with his daddy and I took him to see the other new babies through the big glass windows.
James left for his afternoon nap and finally, Sandy knew it was time. The nurses checked her and then the monitors read ‘Will come to deliver patient’. Now, the fun began!

As soon as I found out my sister was going to be induced this morning to have her baby (2 weeks ahead of schedule), I left Los Angeles and drove up to Salt Lake. That was 9pm last night. I arrived in Salt Lake 10 hours later at 8am (don’t forget the one hour time difference). I really wasn’t tired until I arrived downtown….needless to say, the rest of the day I’ve been hanging in and out of loopiness. But, I made it through it all and was able to be at the birth of my sister’s third baby boy!
It is an INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, TOUCHING experience to see the birth of a baby. And, you will see more pics in the following days. For now, enjoy baby holding daddy’s hand. He’s still a little blue cuz he’s so fresh
P.S. Baby still is without name…. You are welcome to leave suggestions in a comment, but there’s a pretty good chance she won’t listen to you. I, however, will enjoy it immensely

Here are photos from Zombo, a zombie musical. This zombie wants more out of life than to eat human brains — he wants to sing! Aren’t the costumes and makeup great?

This last Saturday (yes, it was Friday the 13th) I took some film stills for the short film, Zombo — a zombie musical. It’s always fascinating to be on a film set: it’s fast paced, everyone has their own job and yet they work together masterfully, and the lighting setups are incredible. It’s always a BIG production! And I LOVE being in the midst of it all
