baby tyler


This darling baby boy came to my house last week. At exactly one week old, (one week!! A brand new little person - always blows my mind), this little fella was so easy and fun to play with.


Tyler was so very, very sweet, totally laid back and mellow.

Mell-o.

The only rise we got out of him was during the much despised diaper change, but as soon as that nonsense was over, he quickly returned to his happy place.

Side note: Spent eons, seriously...days almost, trying to arrange the laundry basket to look casual and finally resorted to just tossing the blankets in willy nilly, which gave me the best result. I think I need a stylist. And maybe a therapist. And okay, maybe I didn't spend eons or almost days arranging the basket, but it seemed like it.

Side note #2: A baby in a plain white onesie...be still my heart.


Tyler's grandma and I have been friends for a while now, and when I heard she had a grandbaby on the way, I was quick to reserve a date with the little guy as soon as he arrived.


What a sweetie, totally sacked out.


Once again, I learned a lot from this little session. Things I'll do differently next time, and things that worked well. Thank you so much to mom and grandma for letting me experiment and for being such good sports with all my crazy prop ideas. (We had more, just didn't get to them!)

We had so much fun. I could do this all day long. Every day.


Dear Baby Tyler,
Welcome to the world, little fella!
You were the ultimate good sport - don't forget to take me up on my ice cream offer when you're ready for dairy products.
I miss you already little buddy.....come back and visit anytime!
Your friend,
Teresa

  7. Stunning, Teresa. What a treat to have Tyler's first week commemorated in such a fashion. He was a dream to work with, but in large part due to your calm, loving "mommy" hands. Thanks for the outstanding photos. Delia

  12. Nothing better than that last dreamy suitcase photo! Be honest - did you consider snapping him in and hightailing it out of there?? I know you and your baby-snatching ways all too well...

  21. Oh, that so makes me miss my little guy being that small. Even though he is our 4th child, and now 8 months old, I still so treasured those first few weeks!
    What great pictures you took!

  22. Teresa, these are just magical.
    Reminds me of Anne Geddes, one of
    my favorite photographers.
    I can see you learned a lot when
    you hosted that lovely workshop
    at your home! xx Suzanne

  26. Goodness! You make me want to quit blogging (clearly I have no talent) and make another baby (not sure I have worthy eggs either)... Guess I'll just stop in here for my daily "fix!" Have fun and do slow down and enjoy that gorgeous farm (I know how hard that can be)!
