A New Munchkin

Posted on May 24, 2011

I was so happy to have a shoot with a newborn last weekend. It had been almost a year since my last munchkin, and I really wanted to get into some delicious baby goodness again.

Luckily Zara’s former infant room teacher allowed me to photograph her 14-day-old cutie pie. I was thrilled!

I forgot about how much effort goes into a newborn shoot. It took me 30 minutes to just pack the car. But once I got there and unloaded, we slowed down and allowed the little guy to get comfortable in his set ups.

Initially we found a snuggly position in the basket:

No worries, we will manage, little guy!

But soon after a little poopy and pee break, we did get snuggly again:

Don’t you just love the fingers and toes?

I just love the sweet newborns!

More Studio Work

But I have to say that I’m hooked. Studio is a blast…as long as your seamless paper is longer than 53″ that is. Otherwise you’ll find yourself cursing a lot as the end of the paper shows up unwantedly in your shot.

Here are some recent favorites:

Yes, one day I will have the guts to invite someone other than my daughter and husband into the morass that is our basement.
