Ok guys, this is my first blog ever. Therefore, you'll have to forgive me if it's boring or uncoordinated. I decided to do this so maybe so of you can get to know me a little better.... Actually, it's just an excuse for me to post more pictures :)
So, I'm gonna let you all in on my first newborn experience. Last week I decided I was going to master photographing babies in one session, no problem. Ha... yeah, no. I reallyyy should have done my research before attempting this. So my mom has made all of these great crochet newborn hats, diaper covers, props, etc. I'm thinking okay, a baby isn't very big how hard can this be. I mean really, the baby is going to sleep the entire time and I'm just going to put it in whatever position I want. I was also thinking that the "sleeping baby" would stay in that position. Once again... yeahhh, no.
I'm sure you have figured out by now that I do not have children, nor am I around newborns very often. So, about an hour into the session we've already had to stop probably five times, the baby has ate, had its diaper changed.... I'm thinking we're ready to go. Yeah... ok, no. So we spend the next hour trying our best to pose this baby. Finally I give up. Mom has to rock the baby to sleep...
So, now my hope is back! Yes, a "sleeping baby"! A baby that has been fed, burped, new diaper, and asleep. I'm home free :) I take about three pictures, then decide I'm going to position the baby. Nope, he was like trying to bend a two by four in half. Ok, so now what?? I have the bright idea that if the baby won't move we'll just take his diaper off and take some CUTE naked baby pictures. Yeah that worked out great until the baby peed on my chair.
Three hours later... I'm sad, confused, and in shock all at the same time. Needless to say I went and visited my old trusty friend, YouTube, to learn the secrets of photographing a newborn. Thank you Sarah so so much for being patient with me and trusting me with your new baby. He was a joy.
