Just a Little Softie, Newborn Baby Skin

Sweetly Sleeping, Hand-Knit Gray Cocoon with Irresistable Occupant

Ok, I can't get over how cute this baby is. Seriously. I know I say this about every baby I photograph, but I actually think it! Maybe it's because I get to know them so well through the hours of editing their pictures, making each shot as perfect as I can. Oh yeah, and I really just LOVE babies! Ok, on to the pics.

Awesome colors, adorable baby boy!

Here's another one of my models for my new hand-knit cocoons. This blue and golden brown cocoon looks like it was made just for him. It fit just right and I think the colors went perfectly with his eyes and hair. Don't you just love his fuzzy 'do?

Guitar and Piano Prints for Sale - CHEAP!

I'm clearing out some old prints, and maybe later some artwork, too. I have 2 prints (8x12 inches) available of each of the following three pictures. I took these in March 2007, when I first got my DSLR. Yes, I had to practice on inanimate objects before I moved on to energetic little babies. Anyway, these are up for grabs at just $5.00 each! Shipping additional if needed. Email me at MariaGSabala@yahoo.com if you're interested.

TUTUS!

Ok, I'm on a new prop kick. I'm using my crafting skills to enhance my photography and I am having so much fun. The baby in the purple tutu is what gave me the idea. I made the pink one and there will be more to come this summer, too. How sweet are these baby girls?!

Now Where Did I Leave Off?

Wow! It's been way too long since I've posted on my blog. I've been knitting cocoons, hammocks, and soon - hats!

I'm also working on painting a background today. I really wanted a nice, rich brown one, so I'm using a huge stretched canvas I had in the basement. We'll see how it turns out. I had all the materials already, so I couldn't resist giving it a shot. Owen is very interested in the "painting" and I hope he'll pose for me so I can show you what I've done. That's a lot to hope for... maybe I'll do a self-portrait instead.

So, so busy. More updates to come. Lots of fun things happening for Maria Sabala Photography! Thanks for keeping in touch and keeping track of me on here! Your support is always appreciated and noticed. :) Keeps me smiling and working harder to improve and come up with new and exciting ways to photograph.

I'm just going to post some pics of one of the new cocoons here today. But please stop by my website - www.MariaSabalaPhotography.com - for LOTS of new pictures to see. All the galleries are updated with new pictures from the past couple months.

I had just a few crazy minutes to snag some shots of 4-week-old Audrey in one of my new cocoons. I think she really enjoyed it!
