The not-so-newborn

Can you guess what is in this picture? It’s a wedding dress! It was all mom’s idea. She has a master plan of having photos taken every year with the baby and the wedding dress so you can watch her grow. I think it’s a brilliant idea and I was happy to get to do the very first wedding dress shots. Don’t worry, there are some others taken with a wider angle so you can see the scale better. I just liked this one though.

Baby S is just a few weeks old, but still was just a tad too old for a “newborn session”. We tried to get her to curl up and fall asleep and she looked us up and down like we were crazy! “What do I look like to you? A ONE week old? As if!” I’m not entirely certain why she has a valley girl accent in my head. But you get the picture.:)And we got some pictures as well. Just not the typical “newborn” ones. She’s still cute as ever though! I can’t wait to see her again on her 3 month birthday!

Talk about cutting it close. I think we have a new record for people trying to slip in family pictures before they leave Okinawa. The K family had already been kicked out of their house– but they saved picture day clothing from the packers! Two days they were gone. I didn’t even have time to finish the gallery first! But I’m glad things worked out and I at least had a slot to come out and click away that morning. The beauty of living in the digital age means that I can show you the gallery from halfway around the world. So, enjoy the “newborn” photos. I’ll never tell how old he is.:)

Talk about perfect timing! No sooner did we get the maternity pictures done than this baby decided he was done! And early. We weren’t expecting him for another 5 weeks. But he was ready, and he’s the boss. Well, as it turns out, they DID get the most laid back baby ever. He could sleep through any amount of my moving and changing and nudging and general messing with him. I had such a great time playing around at this session trying all the things most newborns just won’t put up with! If only every newborn session could go this smoothly…. A girl can dream, right?
