baby marley | colorado springs newborn photographer

Jan 05, 2009

I got to meet baby Marley on Sunday.  She made it as a 2008 baby by just a hair–she was born on 9:30pm New Year’s Eve!  That made her four days old at our shoot, so we were able to a bunch of different things in a short time span.  She was just sleeping no matter how we wiggled her or wrapped her or moved her around!  I know I say it a lot, but getting the newborns in to their session before they are a week old makes a world of difference in the quality and ease of the shoot!

I’m in love with her.

But so is Will.

(Marley’s big sister Taylor is BFFs with Will, so we did the shoot here at the house and I didn’t send Will off with Nic, because we thought that Taylor and Will could play together.  Except Will took one look at Marley and decided she was the new girl for him. )  I can’t really blame him.  Marley is one cute baby!

Like my new Thunder Gray backdrop paper?  It’s so hot right now.  (Seriously, it’s pretty much the Hansel of the photography world.)

Taylor is a cute big sister and color AND black and white.  I can’t decide, so I’m showing both.  :)

Want to see more behind-the-scenes shots?  Like how Will went and sat down next to Taylor as we got her all situated?  Cause who doesn’t need a dragon in their Sisters Shot?

My total favorite:

(I’d been trying to get Taylor to stand behind Heather and give her a hug.  Will had apparently been watching and listening from the sidelines, because as we tried to convince Taylor that getting a family photo was more interesting than Will’s toy workbench, Will inserted himself into the shot.  Keith’s face is totally priceless!)

And my two favorite “woe is me–photoshoots are hard” poses from Marley…
