Analise at her Best

So, she was 2 days old and I remembered having a conversation with my MIL about newborn pictures- you know all the little naked ones with them curled up and stuff and how I should have her pictures taken. I had forgotten that conversation temporarily until we brought her home. So, I hurried and found someone. She was local, she did a great job, AND,...she comes to your home! Best part was that she said, "I have an opening tomorrow morning."

Here is some of her work. I think she did a fabulous job, especially considering that her light was malfunctioning that morning and she calmly flipped the props and the subject (the baby) around, opened the shutters and used the natural light of the day. The whole session stressed me out, but the photographer was as calm as a summer's morning...(whatever that might mean). And Analise was very sleepy and cozy thanks to the space heater that we had in the room. I love newborns. I love her.

soooo fabulous! Why is it the baby in the family gets the best pictures. It wasn't until Tatum was new born that I got great pictures. 17 years ago...Jade got what ever Sears had to offer.
These are precious and you look wonderful!

How could you ever pick a favorite? They look professional - seriously. I also love the one with her on your arm - lovely hourglass figure, Becky. You are going to be so glad you took these, no matter the cost or stress, FOREVER AND EVER.

i can't even begin to pick a favorite. i tried, but can't narrow down my 5 favorites. maybe the bottom one with her little fists all balled up infant-style and her little toes all sticking out stiffy-style. or maybe the one of her hanging on your arm. or maybe the one of both of you, or the one of her in the brown tufted little "nest" bird-style. she is so presh i can't hardly stand it. having a little newborn girl is really all that it's cracked up to be, isn't it?

So sweet. The first one did me in on it's own, then I scrolled down and teared up at seeing mom with her baby girl. What wonderful keepsakes these pictures are! I did naked baby pictures for the first time with Meg and I wish I had captured them with all of my girls. I just didn't know how fleeting the moments would be though until it came to my last.

She is beautiful.
