After my sibling experience last week with baby Eliza, I was a little nervous about the siblings for today’s newborn session. Would big brother cooperate or would he shove this baby away and make us all so sad? Big brother J. is a typically active little guy who has much better things to do then hold this new baby. However, I must say that J. was cooperative and calm and we were able to work fast and get this.
Sweet baby E. was so wide away that she was actually the hard one to photograph. Those little newborn eyes tend to go in a million different directions. So, I am always delighted to walk away from a session with an image like this:
Newborn sessions are always tricky because there are so many variables. Luckily we took this image in the very beginning before any of the real craziness started.
We were able to send big brother on his way to school and then we thought the peacefulness would begin and we would get to work. However, as fate would have it, little E. was just getting ramped up. She pooped 5 times, peed 3 times, spit up once and then in the craziness of it all- she lost her belly button. Mom and Dad looked as exhausted as I felt when they left the studio way over three hours later. It was a long morning for all of us but so well worth it now that we see the final product.
So, little E. was literally a stinker during her first session. However, this image makes your heart melt and you love her all the more!
