Newborn Photo Shoot

~ Chastity Eads

Things are beginning to have a “new” normal around here. Our little guy is two weeks old today. I am healing well and getting back into the swing of things. Gaining my independence and energy back. If you have read through any of my previous posts regarding my pregnancy you would see that the general theme of my pregnancy is that it took just took a lot out of me. Delivery of our little guy followed the same suit, a long, hard labor which never fully progress and ended in a c-section, but once we had him in our arms I wouldn’t change a thing.

Prior to our delivery day I had been gathering items from around the house to have ready for my newborn photo shoot. Yesterday I was finally able to get a photo session in with our peanut. A few of the items that I had on hand were:

White Embossed Wallpaper-used as a backdrop
Various newborn hats
A piece of white fur fabric…purchased {here}.
Burlap fabric
Bobby Pillow-used for propping Kellen up.
Bag of Sugar-used to prevent Kellen from sliding down into the Bobby pillow.

For my first time taking any form of a portrait, I love how they turned out! I will definitely be playing some more with props and ideas.
