Bienvenida Foy!
February 4th, 2008 | Published in baby | 4 Comments
My super talented buddy Steve Hamaker — owner of Stevaker Designs — and his wonderful wife Shannon had their little baby boy, Foy, 2 weeks ago! He’s such a laid back, sweet kid. I haven’t been around too many newborn baby boys and kept calling him “sweetheart.” My bad! I quickly learned from my mistake and started calling him “buddy.” He seemed to like that better!
Here he is giving me his best “Zoolander” impression. He’s spot on!
Steve’s been collecting these little figurines from “Where the Wild Things Are” and is probably thrilled that he had a son since they probably wouldn’t go too well in a girly pink room. 
How cool are these!?!
Definitely my favorite shot of the evening!
Here’s Foy hanging on mom and dad’s bed with his super cool custom embroidered shirt done by Ivey Handcrafted! Amazing quality and super fun! Check out some color photos of the shirt in the slideshow!
Just for the curious… Steve+Hamaker=Stevaker Designs. Â Baby+Hamaker=Bamaker.
I love it when my clients get adventurous! As our session came to a close, the last thing they wanted was for me to take a picture of Foy inside this large wine glass that Shannon’s mom gave them. My response: “Let’s do it!”
Love it.
I really enjoyed hanging with you guys, seeing your home, and photographing baby Foy! And yes, he is a “sweetheart”.
Enjoy your slideshow!

Hi Rich!! I’m Steve’s sister. I just wanted to tell you that these pictures are absolutely beautiful. I still can’t watch the slide show without crying my eyes out. I know you had very good subject matter, but the angles and lighting are amazing. Thanks again!!!!
