I Tried

I love, love, love, love, love love love naked baby pics. So of course I was so excited to have my own little baby to play with and take as many naked baby pics as I could possibly fit into that short newborn foldable, squishable period. The only problem was the baby had different plans. She hates to be naked! With a Passion. It was hard enough to get a few in her diaper before she'd throw big old fits. I tried every tip I could find to keep her asleep and happy and nothing worked. Oh well, I'm just happy we live in a time of cameras so I can take as many clothed baby pictures as I want so I can remember this tiny little baby phase forever.



I love their wrinkled new skin.




There was a lot of this going on.


Then wrap her up and look what happens.






I seriously only got about two of her just in a diaper and sleeping, and they have her hand in front of her face. Oh well.


Baby parts.

Baby Joseph

Look at this chunky monkey cutie patutie! I got to visit this 1.5 week old last Saturday in his jungle room, which was completely adorable, by the way. I could just sit in there all day long looking at the cuteness, not to mention the little munchkin occupying it. Nikki (aka Mom) seems to be more on top of the decorating thing than me. But J is only going on four, so I'm not all that behind...right? You should hear this little man cry! It's the cutest little sound that just squeaks out of his tiny lungs. I love newborn cries.

Fresh out of the Oven

I got to photograph the cutest little baby in the whole wide world on Monday. He was less than one day old, still in the hospital and had that yummy baby smell! I walked into the baby area with a basket full of blankets and the department manager walked up to me and told me to stop carrying the basket like I had a baby in it because they are very serious about baby theft. I made some silly remark about a basket of "baby blankets" and she said, totally straight faced, "No, I'm serious".

Mommy had a c-section, but was doing great and was so happy to me a mom again after 23 (I think) years! Yes, that means her last baby is now in her 20's! Thanks for letting me invade your hospital room.

I love feet pictures!

The yawn...

Kym's Baby Belly

Kym came over with Kristyn, Cindy and Nick to take some maternity pictures. I got to use my seamless paper and let me tell you, I'm in love with it! Kym was so relaxed and easy to photograph. I got all set up before they arrived and asked Jared to help me adjust my light. This was the result.

But then Kym got in front of the camera and things went a bit smoother.

And then Kristyn poked holes in my little girls ears!

She did a super good job and Madie cried just a litte, and mostly because she was mad. As soon as she was over her attitude, she discovered the little sparklies in her ears and LOVES them. Thanks Kristyn!
