As I set up for the shoot, I planned to start with the naked sleeping baby shots that we all love. The beanbag was ready, Levi's mom got him fed, sleeping, and undressed and we got him into position. Well, things didn't exactly go as planned...
Maybe it was the 85 degree weather, or the neighbor next door loudly chain-sawing down a tree. Or maybe Levi noticed that under the soft white blanket, the beanbag was pink.. Whatever it was, Levi was having none of it. Crying and getting all red-faced...he was mad! His mom and I are fairly certain we even saw him make an obscene hand gesture to us at one point. :)
So...we switched gears and tried a swaddle and suddenly all was well. Levi slept peacefully the rest of the session, nestled snug in this pretty basket. And little did he know, we did a tour of the backyard as he slept, taking photos along the way.
Congratulations, Jeff and Andi! Looking forward to doing your family session in a few weeks!
Levi, not likin' the beanbag:
Beautiful pictures Sarah!
ReplyDeleteWOW! These photos are stunning, Sarah! What a handsome little guy, too. :) I'm glad to hear you guys were able to work out the kinks!
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny - but the pictures turned out great anyway! :) The backgrounds are beautiful, they must have a really nice yard!! My favorite is the 2nd photo here, it looks like you found this baby just sleeping peacefully in the middle of a forest!
