Mr. Photogenic

Mr. Emmett had the chance to be the star of his own photo shoot a few weeks ago. Our neighbors are professional wedding photographers but would also like to get into portrait photography. So they offered to take some photos of Emmett while he was still an itty bitty thing.

The photo shoot took a lot longer than I thought it would. It takes a lot of time to stage everything and I had to feed Emmett so he would sleep. The other issue we came across was his need to pee on everything. Naked pictures are the best but it ain't pretty behind the scenes. We were very thankful he did not poop. At one point Ben was worried about Emmett getting cold being nakey butt and all so I stood there with a blow dryer over him to keep him warm. Now that is super star status for sure. Emmett had his very own personal assistant keeping him warm. Let's hope this doesn't spoil him.

Alright - no more talking. You want to see the pictures already

Notice how his foot is strategically hiding his "goods".

Sporting Auntie Sherry's hat she made for him

Another hat Aunt Sherry made - Grandma Trudy loves this hat!


I wish he was delivered to me this way. In a basket with a nice blanket on the couch.

Don't mind my cleavage here. That was totally staged. I think this is one of the few shots that Emmett is looking at the camera. It's a miracle they got this cause he kept wanting to eat while we were laying there.

And one of my favorites.
Our neighbors are still looking to build their portfolio with newborn portraits so if you happen to be pregnant or know someone who is and due in the next few months let me know! I'll send their info along to my neighbors.
