Since Big D is sort of an amateur photographer with a growing collection of equipment, including backdrops and such, there was NO WAY I was going to lug Jack to some over-priced studio for a photo shoot.  Nope....we just set up a little make-shift studio in our loft one Sunday afternoon when the lighting was decent, and Big D just shot away.

There were a few things that we learned that day, however, about photographing infants.  First of all, they cry a lot for no apparent reason other than the fact that you just lay them naked on a cold, white sheet....

They also will occasionally toss their cookies....

Then when their mother blindly throws the photographer daddy a burp cloth over the top of the white backdrop that's set up in their family room, this might happen...

Then there are some props that you'll try that just won't work and you hope will not be viewed by anyone who works for DSS...

After the crying fit and the bad prop, the mother then may spy a stray booger that needs removed...

But it's all worth it when you can finally get a shot that looks like this...

Whew...finally!

He is just too cute. I am glad to see/hear life is kinda getting back to normal. I wish I had a 12 year old helper when this baby comes. I will have to settle for a 6 year old.

At least you could get him to look at you. You captured a baby's life perfectly.

How cute! My mil gave us a video camera when my daughter was born so we could capture every moment for her. Well I tried. But kids and pets have an uncanny knack of no longer being cute and funny once the camera turns on. We'd aim the camera for up to 15 minutes and nothing. Turn it off and they are cute again.
Blessings,
