Atlanta Baby Photographer | Atlanta Family Photographer | Newborn Photography

I thought I would post this little picture to make everyone feel better about themselves!  For anyone who has looked through glamour magazines and wondered how the movie-stars can look so perfect….. well, it’s PHOTOSHOP baby! 

My poor little guy has some very bad baby acne……..

All better……  

Being a professional photographer, I always tell my clients the best time to photograph a newborn is ASAP – but definitely within the first 10 days.  After that, they are more awake and “stretchy” – plus the baby acne kicks in, etc.  Well, my little guy is proof that EARLIER is better.  He absolutely did NOT want to sleep – and this is a baby that hasn’t been awake for more than 5-10 minutes from birth (besides when he’s eating).  He’s also very regular (if you know what I mean), so he pooped on my furry white blanket and peed about 4 more times after that.  My husband kept asking me – “so, is this what you do with your clients?”  Pretty funny right?  Unfortunately, I just didn’t feel up to taking pictures any earlier with my C-Section recovery.  Even after yesterday I was feeling pretty sore – but it was worth it. 

So, here’s a few pics for you to enjoy.  I didn’t get any of my fun “prop” shots, but maybe I’ll try again in another day or two.  I got a cool new suitcase/box I want to try out.

Baby Jake – 9 days old.  I tend to lean towards black & white for baby pictures – but I thought this “antique” effect looked pretty cool.  He’s saying – “what are these things???”

Don’t be fooled – this was the 3.5 minutes that he was asleep.

I actually took this picture when he was 4 days old.

This was my desperate attempt at getting him to go to sleep naked – NOT HAPPENING!  Even my heater didn’t work on him.

And one with Daddy. 

I’m sooooo lucky to have a friend who is UBER talented in the creative sewing and monogramming arena – especially since I can’t even sew a button!  She sent me a box for Jake and I am just in awe of the cool stuff.  She really knows my style!   Yes, she makes/creates all this stuff on her own and she crocheted the baby blanket too.

Just had to share some pics….. 

And let us not forget big sister right????

She also sent me monogrammed washcloths for Jake – talk about a spoiled kid right?   Her official business name is Urban Baby Gifts – so if you want to email my friend Andrea about any stuff just let me know and I’ll send you her email. 

THANKS GIRLFRIEND!!!!
