Since my own "baby" was approaching 8 years old, I felt a little out of practice photographing babies. The mother in me reminded the photographer in me that babies just need love, warmth and mama's breast. We gave little Onnalise an overdose of all three. She was the perfect little model.
Her big brother Z was so sweet and gentle with his new baby sister and such a handsome little dude.
Did I mention the pets? Whenever I do a photo shoot where humans and animals are involved, the animals always feel left out if I don't give attention to them too.
Well did I mention they have SIX?
Unfortunately I couldn't get them all to pose for a group photo, but I do have wicked Photoshop skills. Hmmm....
More sleeping shots, see, doesn't she cooperate nicely?
Shameless plug for Brengman Brothers, it makes a GREAT baby gift.
One more cute one of her modeling her cow outfit...
And one more of her modeling one of my friend's handmade hats (Pink-a-Dot Tots in El Dorado Hills, CA)...
But wait, there's more...DAD! I've yet to meet a father of a newborn who says "I WANT MY PHOTO TAKEN TOO!" This time was no exception. :) I used my coercive and threatening powers on dad to get this awesome shot.
Ok, I promise these are the last ones. Love this gorgeous one of mama and baby. Awww....
