Newborns are From Heaven (but a tad hard to photograph)

January 6, 2012 by Elaine

My good friend here in town had her third baby boy a few days before Christmas and he is just the sweetest thing.  But then aren’t all babies, fresh from Heaven?  Oh yes, they SO are.

You may remember I took some maternity shots for her several weeks ago (scroll down to bottom of post).  Anyway, we gave it the ole college try at some newborn shots the other morning (my first go at it!!) and we got a few good ones despite the fact that he was a tired little one.

I already love him but then I love the whole family so… 🙂

And I totally understand if this made you want to have more (or some) babies because it did me too but I am SO DONE!

Happy weekend all!

    He is adorable. Love those little lips.

    But no, it does not make me want to have another baby.

    Great photos! Love the lighting!

    It actually doesn’t make me want more. Weird. But that’s not to say I wouldn’t snuggle the little fellow!

    Oh that first picture is awesome!! And tired and newborns is what you want, I shot a newborn that was awake the whole time once- you just can’t pose them like you want if they are awake.
    Great job and I am sure she loves them!

    These are really cute! I only did one newborn shoot and I don’t plan on any more. You are right. They are hard to do.
