Two weeks ago, when Claire was 7 days old, we had a photographer come out to the house to take newborn portraits. We didn't do this with Landon due to a combination of lack of funds, his time in the NICU, and the fact that we had never heard of newborn portraits. But this time around we are more savvy to all the ways you can spend more money as a new parent, and while we've managed to avoid many of them, I was glad to spend a bit to capture these early, joyous moments as a new family of four.
We haven't seen all the proofs yet, but the photographer sent these sneak peeks and I love them so much I had to share.
(my favorite)
I think Jennifer did such an amazing job and I can't wait to see the rest!
OMG- I love them all! Love how you all coordinate. So beautiful! i want another baby now :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable! So jealous I won't be able to get them done.
ReplyDeleteAww you made me all weepy!
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Your "two kids" picture is especially adorable. Claire is beautiful and Landon looks so sweet and proud. That first picture perfectly captures how tiny and squishy she is. And you look FABULOUS! I can't believe you're wearing, and rocking, jeans and a fitted t-shirt one week in. You're a rock star.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chiconky! About those jeans- I was still really swollen from the c-section that day, but thanks to the powers of high-waisted underwear I was able to put on the maternity jeans and told Jennifer she had an hour to get any pictures with me in them because I couldn't wear them for long! I was back in my pj pants while she was getting the pictures of Claire :) But thank you, you made me feel really good!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so great. I think we all sometimes forget how professional pictures can be such precious works of art!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful. But the picture of just Landon and Claire and the one of you with the two kids are priceless.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, no matter how you did it, you look way too good for just having given birth a week ago, c-section or not.
What a great idea! These are amazing. I agree with MMC - the one with you and the kids should be framed and proudly displayed!
ReplyDeleteLL, I was wondering how you looked so awesome in those jeans and the fitted tee one week out! You'd never know they were maternity jeans - or that you were 39 weeks pregnant a few days earlier!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the pics!!!! My favorite is the picture of the four of you with Landon kissing babyclaire.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're just amazing photos. Beautiful family. :) So glad you're all doing so well!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at that picture of you with the two kids again. And started wondering who the heck the hand holding Claire's head belonged to. Eventually realized it had to be yours even though it didn't look like it at first glance.
ReplyDeleteToo funny, so I thought I would share that I felt like an idiot. :D Very nicely posed though.
wow! Gorgeous! The first one is by far my favorite.... love it! Now I have this added on my Please Save Money for This list.
