Remember these two?
Just a few days after these pictures were taken, they became three.
Meet Miss Zailey Rae.
She is an absolute doll.
Perfect in every way.
Our plans for Zailey's first photo shoot took a detour courtesy of Mother Nature, so we just brought the outdoors into my dining room.
My hubby helped me haul furniture around, gathered flowering branches for me, and soon we brought my dream of baby swing in the crabapple tree to life.
I'm always up for a good Plan B.
Her mom and dad are absolutely head over heels in love with this darling thing, and it's easy to see why.
Sweet baby toes, just waiting to be nibbled.
A perfect swirl of gorgeous baby hair.
We had the heat turned up to August in the Tropics temperatures, but even so, girlfriend was not a fan of being naked.
This was her "don't touch my blankie" look.
Little Miss was barely, barely asleep, but inch by inch we pulled it back, and we were finally able to score a few shots of her in her birthday suit.
After she was finally allowed the dignity of having her clothes back on, she happily relaxed in front of the fireplace while I snapped just a few shots of the new mom and dad.
Oh, was this fun!
Dear Baby Zailey,
You. Are. Sweet.
Will you be my friend?
Love,
Teresa

Awh I love it! What a doll baby! So sweet
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely gorgeous. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI have one word............PRECIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteThe baby is adorable! And you are an amazing photographer!!! Love the swing photos.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are absolutely STUNNING. I like a plan B, especially when it comes out that fantastic! I think it might have worked to your advantage...there's so much that can go wrong with outdoor shooting....like stray bumblebees and of course the annoying and every pesky shadows...you have none of that here! LOVE IT ALL! The baby is gorgeous, and those LIPS...oh, so... SWEET!
ReplyDeleteOMG Teresa these are STUNNING!!!......my first thought was how did she get that background with a swing!!.....got any pull back shots for us to see how you did it?.....I'm in AWE!!! I just did my first newborn shoot last week and spent all weekend editing....now I can't wait to do another newborn (we have another one arriving in Aug!)......I just can't stop looking at these, mom and dad must be beyond thrilled!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Gorgeous baby-- and I love the swing! The picture of the proud parents is beautiful also. Is it just me, or do you see something different in her eyes? Happy mama contentment, strength... so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, sweet family!
Hugs,
Jill

ReplyDeleteI have to ask - what's that white, embroidered fabric she's wrapped in? (Please note - I did see the baby first, fabric second. Look at me grow.) :-) -amy
