We had Piper's newborn pics taken when she was just a week old. Our photographer for the pics is actually a great gal I have met thru Stella & Dot. She has been a customer and hostess, I have done trunk shows for her friends and have seen her work in their family pictures.
She came to our house which was so nice. It was hard enough to get everyone showered/dressed/hair fixed, let alone if we had to pack up and go somewhere! These pictures do not show how uncooperative the kids were. Cooper was throwing a fit when the photographer got to the house because he didn't like what he was wearing and definitely did not want his hair fixed. Laney refused to look at the camera, she would just stare out the window and roll around on the bed. The second we would get a good smile out of her, Cooper was laying down or frowning. We literally got 2 pictures with her looking and halfway smiling. I threw in the towel after a while because I figured…why pretend we are something we are not? This is our life right now and we will look back at these pictures and laugh!
Of course photographers like for the babies to be asleep so they can move them around and get those cute shots. Well, after about 10 minutes of being asleep, Piper was wide awake and fussy. The photographer commented that Piper was like working with a 1 month old, not 1 week old with her being so big. :)
In the end, we got what we needed and it was definitely a memorable experience ;).
