Around The House

Yesterday afternoon I traveled to Monrovia to photograph a baby boy. His Mom & Dad wanted to incorporate their home items in to the photos to make them more personal and weren’t really interested in traditional newborn photographs. WOOHOO! My favorite thing to do. I must tell you, I think Mr. C’s Mom & Dad and I are going to start a business where I am the photographer, his Mom is the stylist and his dad is the newborn wrangler. We need to think of a name for it, I think we made a great team and let me tell you we laughed and joked a lot. His Mom even confessed that she watches Gossip Girl, which I’ve mentioned is one of my guilty pleasures. Thank you so much to the C family, I had such a wonderful time being silly with you and photographing that beautiful baby boy of yours. Oh and let me tell you all, their other two “babies” just had to sneak in to a few shots as well. I guess sibling rivalry was in full effect!

Here are a few photos of our afternoon together.

Oh and I’m going to call this next one Up Up & Away, it’s Superbaby! Check out his cute little belly button, his dad said it reminds him of a Cinnabon. So if the Cinnabon people are reading, yes we are all interested in a promotion campaign using his belly button ;)

Remember those siblings I was telling you about…

And finally when we were done, baby C threw his arms in the air, waved them like he didn’t care and fell asleep, thrilled that we were done bothering him with all this “photo” stuff.

    Hi Angela,

    It’s Julie Nickerson. You were nice enough to help me with a few photo questions. Thank you!

    These are great! I’m curious…do you bring the cute little diaper cover ups or do the parents provide those?

    Enjoying your pictures.
