Oh, Millie!

One of my besties had a baby a few weeks ago. This has been a highly anticipated event to say the least. I have been preparing for this little one's shoot for MONTHS and I am not exagerating! So many ideas and trying to figure out the right way to impliment them. Oooohhhh. It has been fun to scheme and dream with Anya about what we wanted for this session.

Well, I must say that I am soooooo happy with how it turned out! I purchased a new backdrop, as you can see, and I tried out a new light and I can't wait to do it again!

So,

Meet Millie

Isn't she gorgeous? I just can't get enough of her! She caused her little family some headaches before she even arrived. As they tried to prepare the house for Millie's arrival (brand new kitchen remodel), mom was taking care of big brother, working 3 to 4 nights a week at the hospital, and doing non-stress tests twice a week. I don't know how she made it through those last two months. Even more, I don't know how she passed those stress tests! But she did and Millie didn't come one minute before she was forced here.

I have to say it was well worth the wait...

How do you like my new white backdrop? Aren't the pictures so dreamy? I am LOVING it!

And how about this sweet big brother? I've got to say I think he is pretty handsome. What a cute family. I think he is going to be a great big brother. The protective type. Millie is so lucky to have him. I think he is going to take very good care of her.

Let's not forget the black backdrop. Those are just classic and beautiful.

Millie's grandma made her this quilt... isn't it to die for? We had to use it in the pictures. I LOVE the effect. Is there a better backdrop than a special blanket? I can't think of one.

This is a special effect I did with the white backdrop and the hanging baby. Oh, I think my mom about passed out as she watched us set up this picture and take the shots. Millie was a dream but my mom was sure she was going to fall somehow. Not even close! She did great and these have to be my favorite pictures from the session!

Love you, Anya, and I love Millie too. So happy to be able to do this for you! I can't wait to watch her grow and become the little person that she is. She will be wonderful, just like her mama
