{Personal} Baby Brooks


Good heavens! It's been a busy summer. 

This is my little fella, Brooks. He's super sweet. :) I didn't want Mike to corner the market on showing off his new babies (you can see them HERE, HERE and HERE). Since Mike and his wife, Angie, decided to take 2012 off and not have a baby, Erik and I stepped it up and provided one for your viewing pleasure. ;)

Spring was a little .... rough, shall we say. As I said, we had a gaggle of weddings, along with a new baby. And with the new baby came about 10 days in the hospital. Yeah, editing photos on my laptop in a hospital bed was NOT at all what I expected to be doing, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

Mike is crazy-ambitious and did a photo/day for baby's first year. Um .... I was not sure I could make that sort of commitment, so I've taken to weekly photos of Brooks. Seems to work better for me.

Everyone always says "You must have TONS of photos of your baby!" Yes, this is true. But let me tell you what ELSE is true: While I desire nothing more than to look at photos of my beautiful baby all day long, we've had a lot of weddings this summer, and I have put editing the weddings ahead of editing baby photos. Hard to believe, but it's true. I didn't want our brides to be second-string. 

Now that most of our weddings have concluded and I have more time on my hands, I've been able to sort through baby photos. Not ALL of them, but some of them. And I thought I'd share.

One thing that has surprised me is how much/quickly a baby changes! I would also say I'm getting way better at taking baby/newborn photos (sounds funny, but it's true! It's a skill that takes honing. With such a fabulous subject, who could resist?)
