My first newborn session!

After weeks of preparation I did my first newborn shoot yesterday. I have to admit it was harder than I thought. I expected the baby to be sleepier and a little easier to move and pose. Overall, though, I think the photos turned out fairly well. I didn't get to use all of the ideas that I had because I didn't want to wear the baby out. He wasn't sure about me to begin with...he slept with one eye open!
I really hope to get better at this because it is a lot of fun!
Here are a few of my favorite shots, the rest can be seen on my flickr.








And, my first attempt at designing announcements. I know, it's plain, but I like it.

Thanks Mrs. B!!
I would love to do your kids! Definitely when it gets warmer out we'll have a play date and I'll bring my camera!

Thank you Ashley! Thanks for commenting too, sometimes I feel alone out here. Mrs. B does keep me company frequently though!
