Perfect Baby

OK, everyone swears their baby is the perfect child when they are first born. Mine were too, until the terrible two's came along. (Actually they weren't that bad then.) I enjoy photographing babies, however, it is pretty much a given that newborns are either asleep or crying and as soon as you take their diaper off, well freedom produces wetness (or worse). Not a big deal. Wooden floors and washing machines take care of any problems except for dad and mom's outfits if they get in the way. But Shelby, now she was the perfect baby. First, she was awake the entire session. Second, she never cried. Didn't even whimper and she was in my studio over 2.5 hours. Heck, Dad made more noise when he was carrying in mom's make-up kit (more on that) up the stairs to my studio. She really didn't even blink much when the bright lights when off in her face. The best part, however, was when she pointed a tiny little finger at dad, giggled and said "No hair". I'm not positive if that is what she said because she spoke softly, but I swear the rest is true. Here are just a few of my favs:









I mentioned Dad carrying mom's make-up kit up the stairs earlier. Mom is actually Toby, my make-up artist. She has a very impressive resume as a make-up artist (MUA) as well as an instructor. I will have a big announcement regarding Toby early next month so don't forget to check back often. The easiest way to know when I have made an update is the subscribe to the blog.
