Luke 2/13/11

by Doug Miranda on February 20, 2011

On February 13, 2011 at 2:07pm Christine gave birth to our first child “Luke Douglas Miranda”. The birth went great for both of them and everyone is in healthy condition! It’s so hard to describe how I felt and how I still feel about becoming a new dad for the first time. It’s truly something that you’ll never forget for the rest of your life. Christine and I are already such proud parents of our new little guy and can’t wait for what life has in store for our family. Everyday we’re still amazed that Luke is ours and that this isn’t some surreal dream we keep living everyday. Anyways here are some photos of Luke right after his birth and the following days. I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing more of Luke in the future on the blog ;-)

Oh yea, we literally took these maternity photos the day before he was born!! Talk about waiting until the last minute.

The first Monday of February I got to spend a pretty cool morning with Katie and Chris on the West shore of Lake Tahoe. That morning I didn’t mind waking up at 4:45am, so that I could get up to Tahoe by 8:30am to have fun in the snow with Katie and Chris for their engagement session. We started out on the shores of Lake Tahoe for some photos and then worked our way back into the snow-covered forest for some more photos. We then top off an already amazing engagement session by riding around Homewood ski resort for the next couple of hours!! Katie and Chris were so fun to work with that morning and now I can’t wait for their wedding this summer.

Nudrat & Jason, Davis portrait photography

by Doug Miranda on February 20, 2011

During the first weekend of February I had the honor of photographing Nudrat and her husband Jason. I first met Nudrat almost 3 years ago when she was second shooting for me up in Tahoe at a wedding. After that one wedding we’ve stayed in touch and she’s helped me out with a couple more weddings over the years. In January Nudrat got in touch with and wanted me to take some photos of her and her husband for her new wedding blogsite that’s launching soon. We ended up going to UC Davis for the photo session, which is always a favorite of mine!! Jason and Nudrat are naturals in front of the camera know matter what Nudrat tells you, which made my job seem easy that afternoon. It was such a great time walking around UC Davis with Jason and Nudrat getting amazing photos for her new site. To see some of Nudrat’s fabulous wedding photos you should check out her website. I can’t wait to see her new blogsite and some of these photos on it!!
