Just a sneak peek– more to come!

In the spirit of today’s earlier post, I think it’s important to imagine what your photos could look like finally hanging in your home. Most people focus on the photo shoot itself, but that is only the beginning. One of the benefits of personal photography is customizing the pictures to fit YOU. For example, what better way to personalize the new nursery but with the face of the new baby himself?

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.

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?

So Baby K had the audacity to be born as I was packing my suitcases on the way out of town. The nerve of her! Of course I’m kidding, but I did tell her that she’d have to wait until I got back for the editing. It’ll be a nice surprise to see how much she’s changed in three weeks.

So, meet K, in her first few hours and as her big brothers welcome her to the family. I love that Q ran right up to her and showered her with kisses while J hung back and admired from afar. So typical and perfect! My apologies for making you wait so long– I know you can’t wait to see the rest!
