Addy – dunwoody newborn photographer

Another wonderful newborn session today with Miss Addison Rose.  She was a delight to work with and set a high bar that will be hard to beat for all future newborns… no crying!  Not a peep!  That’s a first in all my years as a newborn photographer to have a baby go the entire session without making a sound.  Not that I mind of course, it’s part of being a baby after all, but it almost felt like something was missing in the silence.  I finally turned to her parents and asked… ‘Is this normal?  Is she like this at home?’  They both looked at each other and answered ‘yes’.  Amazing.  A perfectly peaceful and content baby!

We were also able to get some terrific photos of the baby with her parent’s wedding bands.  Normally, I delicately arrange the rings onto the baby’s toes and use my macro lens with the baby’s face blurred out in the background.  But since little Addison was such a dream to work with, I just slipped the wedding bands over her tiny, little fingers and took a full body shot with the face, hands, legs, feet, and all.  They turned out beautiful as all the shots did.

Lastly, I’m really happy with my new green flokati that I bought at Scott’s antique festival a few weeks ago.  Scott’s is a wonderful place to locate hard to find newborn props.  I get all kinds of things there from everyday throws to bowls and baskets for the newborns.  Addison looks like a dream with her little headband all tucked into that green fur… I think that’s my favorite picture!
