One Month Old

Miss Stella is now a month old...my how time flies! I don't get to photograph her nearly as much as I would like. It takes two hands to hold that big 'ol camera and with a 6 year old, a 2 year old, and a newborn I rarely ever have two hands free! So yesterday we headed down to the basement studio on a mission to get a few one month shots of Stella. She's growing so much and weighs over 8 pounds now. She is also starting to wake up a bit more so we were able to get some shots of her "with her eyes up" ( as Claire calls it). Here is Stella at one month:





Here is an example of why newborn sessions should be in the first two weeks if you want those beautiful curled up newborn shots. Stella is five weeks old and already "stretching out." I kept tucking her feet under for this shot but she just kept on stretching them out.


And finally, here is what Stella thinks of the whole experience--what a bore!



Don't worry, this hasn't turned into a family blog--I can't wait to start sharing some session photos soon! If you need a September appointment, please email me. Also, some people are scheduling fall appointments and even holiday sessions to be sure they get the dates they would like, so feel free to contact me if you'd like to book something between now and the end of the year. Finally, I am working on a new website, so I can't wait to share it with everyone when it's finished!
