So I called Liz a few weeks ago to book a session. And for weeks I've been fretting: I hope Alex doesn't have a bad case of baby acne that day. I hope Alex will be happy enough to let us put a couple of different outfits on him. I hope Alex doesn't spit up all over the outfits we put him in. I hope he doesn't have the little dry skin crusties he tends to get on his eyelids and eyebrows. Most importantly, I hope he's happy that day.
Now, I know that it does no good to worry. It doesn't get you anywhere, and you can't do anything about it. But a good photographer costs good money. And I wanted my money's worth.
Alex didn't care about the money. He didn't care how much I wanted the photos. All he cared about was fussing, fussing, fussing and getting a nap. He wanted no part of any of the photo session that day. Sigh.
Jerry and I worked so hard to entertain Little Man that day. Well, mostly Jerry. And because of his hard work, Liz has assured me that she got a few shots. I haven't seen everything, but I did get this little sneak peek she sent us.
Looks like an angel here, doesn't he? You'd never know that he'd been crying most of the time. Little stinker!

Look at that angel baby! Can't get over how much hair he has now! So sorry the session didn't go as planned but these 2 pics are great. As you now know, nothing with kids goes as planned! Quite an adjustment for our "planned" personalities! :)
No truer words were ever spoken than that "nothing with kids goes as planned." He is just beautiful in those shots... I think he just need a nap in the Noni bed. =)
Okay, my word verification just now was "inocri"... lol... I no cry???? What can I say, I am easily amused... lol.
the pictures are pecious and yes all he needed was Noni to rock him for a few minutes.......
those are precious photos. lila did the same thing for her newborn pictures. i thought, no problem, all she's for the first 7 days of her life is sleep anyway. not that day! really, those pictures are precious. thanks for the tip on the miracle blanket.
Oh, they are beautiful! I can't wait to see your final selections. And believe me, the photo sessions don't get easier as they get older. I have to bribe Connor with suckers and Collin/Kevin with cash to get them to give me genuine smiles!
Those turned out so well!!! I remember Jackson's newborn photo shoot was SO stressful. Talented photographers always seem to get great pictures no matter the mood of the baby. Can't wait to see more!!!
