This shoot was special to me for many reasons. For one, it was my first ever newborn shoot!! Another reason is, Sweet baby Anna's due date was almost exactly the same as Baby Bella's. She ended up coming a couple weeks early, and of course Bella came 9 weeks early, but whenever I see her at church, I will always know that she and Bella would have been about the same age. I actually contacted Anna's parents and asked if I could do a photo shoot for them as a baby gift. I wanted a baby to practice on and I wanted to do something for her sweet momma. She was a perfect angel throughout the shoot and we even managed to snap a few pics of big brother while we were at it.
For me, this shoot was a big lesson in staging baby pics. I got to practice my set-ups as well as baby posing skills. I also learned how to utilize the big wall of windows in my living room to get some pretty awesome lighting conditions. Due to the fact that I was pretty green at setting up backgrounds and such for an indoor shoot, I also got quite a bit of practice editing in Photoshop. And I got some sweet snuggles from a precious tiny baby girl. I would say it was a successful day! :)
