Oh Baby!

We went to Hattiesburg today to visit Joey, Katie and Josie and took a few newborn pictures. This is my first time taking pictures of a little one this age with anything but a point and shoot. I’ve only had a chance to edit a few, and I can’t wait to do more. She was so sweet, squishy and sleepy… all the things I had hoped she would be. I think we have the perfect model on our hands.

I even got to try THE pose. I don’t know how the real photogs do it without three sets of hands to help! It only took us a few tries, but she finally got settled and worked her adorable little baby thing she has going.

Isn’t she the most perfect thing ever? If they lived closer, I’d be over there every day holding her and taking pictures.

After we were done harassing Josie, we got Katie’s neice to come over for a bit to get a few pictures of her. I could have taken pictures of Ryleigh all day, too. She is just gorgeous. Thanks guys for letting me photograph your babies. I’ll have more soon.

Christi, these are just stunning. Absolutely gorgeous work. When are you going to go into business? I’m sure people ask you that all the time! :)

Y’all are too nice to me, lol. Thank you and I’m glad you liked them. I think it’s hard to mess up such beautiful babies.

No way…we’re serious, that’s why! :) I wanted to ask you if you would mind sharing how you processed the 4th photograph? I love that “soft”, almost pale pink with newborns…
