Ashley and Ryan of a previous blog post had Harper Noel on January 3rd.
It was my first newborn shoot, and I honestly didn't know what to
expect. Mom and dad were so sweet and patient with me as we tried to get
some decent shots of precious, little, baby girl. I was prepared with
cute poses stored in my head, but she ended up being awake the entire
session. Not one picture with her eyes closed! As soon as I put my
camera away to leave wouldn't you know it she started to fall asleep. Oh well, it was fun and I learned a lot! Ashley and Ryan had cranked the
heat in their house prior to my arrival in attempt to keep Harper calm
and warm while we were shooting pictures- nakey, cold baby= unhappy
baby= crying baby pictures. Cranking the heat and/or space heaters is
definitely a must for newborn sessions. I found it pretty funny to see
momma throwing off outer layers while I wiped sweat from my face in
between set ups. Note to self: wear thin layers you can take off during
newborn sessions. Lesson learned. Here are some of my favorite pictures
from her one month old session. Sorry for everything we put you through to get a picture, little Harper, luckily you probably won't remember. :)
