Just had to share this one too *wub* Nothing like a daddy's love for his newborn son...
Baby "M" | Folsom Newborn Session
Out of all of the types of people and events I shoot, I fully admit that newborns are my biggest challenge. That being said, the reward is worth all of the work and I left this session with the biggest smile on my face. I also said to my husband, "You know honey, having another baby wouldn't be all that hard..." haha. Baby M was an absolute doll, his parents put up with the sauna of a "studio" and allowed me to take my time with him, something I definitely knew I needed to work on. With newborns, you are on their schedule. If they don't want to sleep, well, they don't want to sleep! It took 2 bottles, lots of cuddles from all 3 of us and a bit of baby massage to get him to zonk out. Such a sleepy little love bug! We spent over 2 hours trying to get little M to sleep and go figure, our last photo of the day was upon mommy's request - him swaddled in his monkey blanket. Go figure, as soon as daddy wrapped him up (go daddy!) he shut his eyes and just SLEPT. We offered him fuzzy blankets on a beanbag, but all the little guy needed was a swaddle and a hard floor ;) It was his day...and he can sleep on the floor if he wants to! hehe.
Teegan's 4 year old portraits
I remember the day that Melissa told me she was pregnant, "I have something to tell you, but don't scream or anything because not everyone knows yet..." I went to her baby shower. I bought her baby Uggs because she was my only friend who was having a girl, and well, every girl needs Uggs. I rushed to her house the day that she came home with a newborn Teegan. I marveled at the awesomeness of new life. Over the past four years I've watched Melissa develop as a mother and Teegan grow into a beautiful, well mannered, charming little girl.
Happy (early) 4th birthday, Teegan. You're beautiful.
