I'm in love.
I think I have baby fever.
On March 28 this sweet little bundle of joy was born to my sister Grace and her husband Nathan (remember their maternity session a few weeks ago?), and I became an aunt for the first time. Violet Isabelle Proud has already stolen so many hearts with her beautiful blue eyes and rosebud mouth, and just look at all that blonde hair!
Truth be told, I don't advertise newborn sessions, not because I don't love babies, but newborn photography just isn't my strong suit (I prefer to leave it to professionals like Rachel Vanoven), but for family, I'll make an exception. And even though I wish my pictures did look like Rachel Vanoven's, the result of patience and feedings and interruptions to get a few decent pictures of little Violet were well worth the time.
I'm just not good with kids. Grace was always the baby whisperer. Until my own child came along, I didn't know what it felt like to have so much love for a little person that it overwhelms you. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved babies, but kids have just never taken to me. So I guess it goes without saying why I prefer not to delve into newborn photography. Still yet, it was my pleasure to take a few pictures for my sister of her wee bairn, and as a plus, I got to sneak in some baby snuggle time. Aaahhhhh, the smell of a freshly born baby. I'm hooked.
