Well, I can’t adequately express my gratitude to fellow friend and photographer, Kristin Rachelle, but all I can say is how amazing she was today when she came over to help me get some gorgeous shots of Marlowe. I made 2 different attempts to take her newborn pictures and at 20 days old, that is not easy to do. I can say that it was the most frustrating “session” I have ever attempted and it ended with no pictures and a crying mommy & baby. So, after pleading my case to Kristin yesterday, she came over to my house this morning and made my dreams come true.
Yesterday, I was having a very hard time positioning her because when I would touch her, she would try to eat me bc she can smell the milk all over me. She would start grunting, crying and flailing herself around…it was awful. I warned Kristin how bad it would be and she still said “no problem” and totally understood, from one photographer mommy to another, that it was just almost impossible to take your own child’s pictures. Well, low and behold, Kristin must have had the magic touch bc Marlowe was an angel for her…slept so peacefully and was even a little bit curly/bendy, when most baby’s lose that after the first week or so.
The best part…was that I was able to sit back and enjoy my baby’s newborn session while still being able to take pictures myself! It was the easiest thing ever, LOL. Kristin did all the hard work, while I sat back and adored my precious baby girl and snapped a few shots while I was at it. So thank you Kristin for being here today, taking her pictures and allowing me to even participate a bit myself. I am so excited to see your pictures and more importantly, to get a HUGE canvas put on her wall above her dresser. That was always my vision ever since the day I found out I was pregnant and today, you made it all come true. I owe you BIG TIME. 
Here are a few of the shots I got today…thanks to Kristin’s fabulous posing jobs!
