Owen. {St. Louis Newborn Photographers}
Posted on January 27, 2010
Yesterday Kim and I got to hang out with Owen. He was sweet as can be and once he fell asleep he was a rockstar! It’s always funny b/c every single one of our clients thinks we want their baby’s awake and really Kim and I are just waiting for them to fall asleep! When a newborn is awake they are all crazy and flailing and their eyes don’t always focus or go cross-eyed and they have no control of their arms/legs/head/anything! Makes for tough photos. We just LOVE those sleepy newborns… but lately I feel like we have been getting some fun shots of them all WIDE awake too!
Look at that little mouth! Too cute!
Owen’s Momma, Annie, Painted his walls… isn’t that awesome? Love it!
I was totally obsessed with his lips! Oh Lips! Love them!
I’ve known Owen’s dad, Brad, since we were kids. We grew up at the same church. We went on vacation together, our families I mean. We were in youth group together. I still see his mom and dad when we make it to church on Sunday’s! And although I know I have three kids so it’ shouldn’t feel strange to see my old friends having babies, it is. Strange. And then when I saw Brad hold Owen, when I saw how he looked at him, how he looked at Annie, the strangeness went away and I was just so so happy for them. I felt like I should hug him and welcome him+them to this crazy amazing club! Parenthood.
And I don’t know if you can tell, but these two guys look EXACTLY alike! Look at those noses! It’s a perfect match! Kim and I just kept saying what a “little brad” Owen is!
Thanks Annie and Brad for having us over yesterday! Owen is beautiful!
These are so amazing. I of course cried when I saw them…thank you so much. I can’t wait to see the rest!!
Owen is beautiful! Congrats Annie and Brad.
Great pictures ladies!
oooh i love the walls! And man-o-man what a lovely family! Annie and Brad, Congrats on that adorable baby! Nose to nose is my fave. I would give anything for pics of me and my Madness like that. So sweet and intimate. That is definitely one to cherish!
Beautiful, as usual ladies! Seeing your work makes me grateful I’m not a photographer in St. Louis. Who can compete with this!?
on a separate note–Jod, praying for all of you and especially Parker–i’m sure she doesn’t have CF, there is no history in your family right? I’m with Chris, doctors need to curb their urges to say too much. Don’t worry. Rest in the knowledge that God loves Parker more than you can fathom; He is all over this! sending lots of love and prayers your way–t
These are absolutely perfect! When I was reading the caption about how Brad looks at Owen I most definitely teared up! Annie you gave birth to such a beautiful baby boy! And he really does look JUST like Brad! You two are going to be great and now that you have Owen,it’s even more of a match made in heaven. Congrats again you two!
Annie and Brad he is perfect! I “teared up” while looking at his pictures…what a fabulous family! Congratulations!
wonderful, wonderful photos. you all look so beautiful. i can’t wait to see you and meeting your gorgeous son.
Annie-Congrats! He is so precious. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Annie and Brad, the pictures are awesome! He is one precious baby boy, congrats to both of you.
just beautiful, I too have known Brad forever and it is hard to believe he has a wife and baby. But seeing their love for each other at the wedding and seeing the now. God Bless you all, and Grandparents too.
WOW, I love all of these, but especially the last one. So sweet. Something to be treasured forever and always!
Brad and Annie, Owen is so beautiful and sweet! I’m very happy for you. I work with Brad at SLCH, and he is so nice. He and Annie will be great parents. May God bless all of you!
Annie and Brad-
Absolutely amazing pictures! Love everyone of them. Your photographer has great talent!
