Hey there peeps! I can not believe August is pretty much over and schools are back in session. What happened? I know we say this every year (and I don't even have kids, well, yet) but it's crazy! The cherubs I babysit for are starting next Wednesday. I bet mom can't wait!
Anyways....I sit (or lay) here, with a horrible cold and cough, that is even more horrible being pregnant, because you can't take anything while pregnant so I am quite miserable. That was a bad run on sentence, but I'm ok with breaking grammar rules to emphasize how annoying it is. Ha! Good thing I have Finn next to me to keep me company and make me feel better. He's the best Bully :-)
So let us talk a bit about Avery. She is too adorable. This would qualify as my first Newborn Photoshoot and I was so happy with the results. I went to High School with Avery's mom and we have reconnected over the last couple of years through a mutual friend. I was so excited when she reached out for a Newborn Session with her first baby, Avery.

| Hey there everyone! Aren't I simple perfectly adorable? |
She was a month old to the day when the session took place. After doing much research, I know that ideally a newborn shoot should happen within the first 10 days of a baby's life. BUT I think that because she was a little older, she gave us some of the best little faces, that you just wouldn't get with a baby that is THAT new. Like the little wink above. I almost melted when I saw that one. I was there for just under 2 hours and she only had to take 1, 20 minute break to eat. She is a trooper! I can not wait to do more sessions with babies (mine in particular!!).
This shoot was not only so much fun, it was a learning experience too. One of the basics of photography, is finding the best light. The day was really overcast/cloudy and there was no sunshine coming in at all. Which can also be a good thing, because you avoid glare. After a quick survey of the living room and nursery, I decided to set up shop right in front of the door. In some of the photos I was actually half inside (head, elbows and camera) and half outside (knees on the front step) to get the best light. But you would never know. You only need enough for the shot.
Enjoy the photos!

| That lip! Don't worry, Mommy cheered her right up! |
 |
| This Bruins Burp Cloth was a gift and was sitting on an end table. Mom and Dad are huge bruins fans so I knew I had to use it. How adorable! |

This is just a sample of the great shots I got. I can only hope all of my future baby sessions will go as smoothly as this one!
Thanks for reading!
