These beautiful portraits were taken when she was one week old exactly. They are professional, and the session was scheduled for four hours, I think we took three. She was really good, and slept the entire time, just what we wanted. The lady who took them,
Meredith Oakes, does amazing work.
I am in LOVE with that wrinkled up lip!
This is the picture we chose for her birth announcement. If you didn't get one in the mail, please don't be offended, we only were allowed 20 announcements, and we have a BIG family. Our package was very pricey! We couldn't afford more than that, and I haven't had time to make additional ones. Our sleeping angel.
These next shots start the fun poses. I. LOVE. THEM.
I seriously think I should enter these in a prettiest baby contest! :)
I wanted this one taken since she was born in July! Watermelon and ants!
I think it is so sweet the way she is propped up on her arms. Amazing to me that they were able to do this with a newborn. That's why they make the big money.
Our little love bug!
This One Eyed Monster is Daddy's favorite!
This is one of my favorites! All curled up sleeping.
This one is different. But, I like it for so many reasons. Look at her position. It's like she's asleep and falling over when you first drift off to sleep sitting up.
I think this one just shows how beautiful she is. Such a sweet baby! I love this pose.
And, the grand finale! The baby bed sleeping pose. I love this, but I have a feeling she'll hate it one day.
Meredith did a fabulous job, as you can see. But, be prepared to pay for what you get. This session almost broke us, but I am so thankful we did this. I wish I could afford another session with her each month. But. maybe at a year!
