Baby Stella

Newborns are a different kind of subject. One might think, "oh well they can't move so they must be pretty easy to shoot, right?" Wrong. What is easy however, is for a baby to go from looking like a soft, angelic bundle of joy in a photo to looking like a the pile of clothes you left in the dryer for 2 days or a rotting potato. You may say, "that's crazy," but I assure you, with no control of their bodily functions, that happy smile can turn into wrinkly and red chaos amidst flailing limbs and piercing cries in a matter of seconds.

Luckily, this was not the case with adorable baby Stella! At just 5 days old, Stella was hungry and wide awake; I think she may have been aware she was the center of attention! That may not happen much in the future with 2 older siblings before her, but on this day, siblings Carson and Savannah could not be more excited about sharing the newest addition in their family. We were able to catch some sweet moments between the 3 of them when Carson started sharing jokes with Stella and her beautiful blue eyes were the highlight of each shot. Congratulations to a wonderful family on their growing family and I am so glad I was able to help you capture all her tiny features in the first few days of her long life ahead :-)
