Yesterday we got to hang out with sweet+chubby Morgan and he was so easy! It doesn’t hurt that we ADORE his momma! It also doesn’t hurt that he slept soundly while Kim and I worked and chatted around him! It was a really great session!
Melanie asked us to please not use props or hats… that although she loves our work just wanted something simple for her images. We love the simple too, plus not having to change the “scene” a million times made our job a whole lot easier! Well, it made MY job a lot easier but Kim was working hard to think of different poses! HA! Sorry Kim! And just for all you photogs out there… these were all taken on our bean bag. Super simple!
While we worked Melanie played around on her iPad so all of these shots are a surprise for her… and Melanie… we hope you love them!
Melanie caved and had us use this little crown my UBER talented friend, Adriane, made for us! How cute does this little prince look?
Thanks for coming over Melanie and for allowing us to capture Morgan’s first days! We can’t wait to see him at his 6 month session!
I’m SO glad we did the crown – it couldn’t be more perfect! Adriane, you are a great knitter – I’d love to know what pattern you used for this one. Jodie & Kim, you all are fabulous…thanks for taking so much time and being so easy to work with. I LOVE the sneak peak…can’t wait to see the rest! Until then, I am glued to these.
you are amazing! he could BE any cuter!!
reagan asked, “is that his extension cord?”
ha. ha. you can see his cord in one of the photos. she makes me laugh!
OOPS!! I meant to say “he COULDN’T be any cuter!!!”" SORRY Mel!!!!
So sweet he looks like he is smiling. You know Melanie was a camp counselor of mine at soaring hawk. So crazy we are both moms together now! The crown is amazingly adorable.
What an absolutely beautiful baby! Thanks for using his Nana-knit blankie as a backdrop. He looks so peaceful–
What a glorious God we serve–His creativity takes our breath away…such a beautiful child. Robert Morgan will be loved and nurtured well. Morgan will need that crown in a house of ladies.
That crown is AMAZING! LOVE! That’s an Etsy shop waiting to happen right there!
WOW! This little guy is perfect! And your work is amazing! Such an inspiration!!! I came across some of your images on Pinterest and had to jump on your site to see some more… just beautiful!
[...] had told us she really kind of hated all props and wanted a simple+sweet+clean newborn shoot (HERE is her original post!)… so to make the joke even funnier we grabbed every baseball themed item [...]
