A Family Shoot & Switchin’ things UP!

So, I’ve decided to switch things up a bit! For pretty much forever I have uploaded new shoots to my Facebook fan page prior to blogging them. The times of doing so are now OVER. Of course I will upload to FB eventually (meaning, the day after), but blogging first gives readers a chance at getting to know the subjects. Plus, it forces ya’ll to get to know me. I’m tricky, huh? ;)

A couple weeks ago, I spent a loverly Sunday afternoon with a precious family from my church at home, who happen to have a brand new baby boy!

When I first arrived at their gorgeous and ultra-cozy home, I had to stop myself from eating this little guy. Partly because I was starving (*Side-note* Dylan took care of that for me, and picked up some Chipotle for after the shoot! This just in: there is now a Chipotle in Albany!!). AND partly because this little man is just about the sweetest little boy in all the land. Absolutely adorable, bordering on edible. A little over a month old, he has clearly stolen the hearts of his parents and older brother. Understandably so.

Needless to say, shoots involving infants can equal lots and lots of crying.. Mid-shoot, mama let out a humorous/worried “Gosh, I can’t wait to see what you have to write in your blog about this one!” All good things, all good things! :) Thank you for welcoming me into your home and letting me experience the infectious love that runs throughout your little family. Oh! And thanks again for my pre-Chipotle dessert in the form of amaaazing cream cheese filled pumpkin muffins! MmmMmm!!

Here’s a peak of the shoot. When I first got there, the baby was swaddled and sleeping so sweetly on his parent’s bed. :) Edible, right?

Well, what do you know? Little guy fell back asleep. :) Couldn’t pick which of these next three I liked most. They’re so similar, but sorta, kinda different?

Just a little taste of the crying. Sweet boy’s gonna hate cameras because of ME.. Cute though, right?
