Oh, she’s back! This sweetie’s also on on Tales From the Crib baby plan. She looks so different and yet so similar from her newborn session, but she’d barely changed from her heads up session! Thank goodness we have a studio with photo lights.. this was done while it was pouring and dark outside. We filled the studio with light and the CUTEST sounds I’ve ever heard a baby make. Seriously, she makes this high pitched squeal of an “Aaaah!” every few minutes. SO cute.

And we sang it over….and over….and over again

But it was worth it to get these gorgeous baby photos! My favorite part is that the dress in the first two photos was mama’s when she was a baby! We won’t talk about how long ago that was, now will we

As you scroll you’ll see her change from vintage baby to modern baby. It’s one of the many reasons I love shooting at the studio….so many looks all in one location

Normally I don’t put much stock in Friday the 13th. I don’t care, refuse the believe in it, nothing. I think I might have to pay attention in the future now. So, one of the mothers who wanted some furniture photos at her place said “Oh, I’m a member of this local flea-market type thing, we can borrow some of their furniture if we want to!”
So I go and pick out this wonderful burgundy couch and matching chair as well as a tall striped orange chair. I’m totally stoked. The woman with the couch tells us time and time again “It’s fragile, so you have to be really careful with it!” No big deal. So we load it up on the truck and haul it out to this beautiful lakefront scene. I shoot the photos I wanted and pick it up to move it since it’s light. I set it CAREFULLY down in the leaves a few feet away and….. *crunch*.. both front legs break off. Oh dear lord, I have just broken a borrowed couch. I calm myself and go back to work shooting because the chair is still fine. I’m convinced the couch can be fixed.
Get the couch back on the truck and go back to the house where we shoot with the orange chair that was also for sale and borrowed for photos. I leave it in the yard and see about the couch while we still have light. One leg can be fixed fine, no issue. The other one, the dowel holding the leg on is totally shot and cannot be fixed. So, since the couch was already on sale, I just bought myself a couch and matching chair set for $350. Not what I really wanted to do this weekend. Go home. It POURS overnight.
Mom who borrowed couch and chairs with me calls Saturday morning to tell me that she talked the lady selling couch down to $225. Thank goodness. Then she tells me that we left the orange chair out overnight. In the rain. So, we may have also bought a second chair. This is just NOT my day, but the photos are worth it.

I am so done hauling furniture outside though, I’ll tell you that.

Another Tales From the Crib babe!

This little guy came in for a round of Christmas photos a few weeks back and last weekend I headed to his place for his milestone session. Yes, he is SITTING UP friends…and so stinkin’ cute while doing it. I had a great time taking photos of “C” and sneaking in a few peeks at the Falcons game too Here he is in all his growing up glory:

A little vintage baby…

Some black and white fun!

A classic vs. a modern…
