On Tuesday morning, I got in a good run and then raced down to Hampstead to meet my friend, Emily's, newest addition. Emerson was just 4 days old, and I couldn't wait to tackle my first newborn shoot. I must say, the photos I've seen online, make newborn photography look so easy. Just wait until the baby sleeps, and then pose them accordingly, right? Well, it definitely wasn't that simple! I guess I've forgotten just how floppy newborns are:)
Nevertheless, we managed to get some cute shots of Miss Emerson with her new family, especially with her sister and two brothers! Here are several of my favorites:
I brought some blocks in case we wanted to use them as a prop. We didn't end up needing them, but they certainly entertained Elle while we took the pictures!
Em and her two babies!
Rob got some new ink before leaving Afghanistan (in time to see Emerson born!), so I wanted a shot of her with it
After taking several pictures, Emerson needed a milk break. It worked perfectly, because it made her super sleepy!
Can't you just feel how much this big brother LOVES his little sister?!
You have no idea how difficult it was to get all these feet lined up:)
The idea was to get a picture of Emerson with everyone's hands on her. I love that Brady, the second youngest, was poking her belly button in this one!
Emily and Rob, thank you for trusting me to capture this very important moment in your lives. Emerson is absolutely beautiful and now you have a perfectly complete family! Congratulations to all of you!
