Vera’s Newborn Photo Shoot

August 27, 2010 by Aliesha

I attempted to take some newborn photos of Vera on our front porch yesterday afternoon! In my humble opinion, I couldn’t have asked for a more adorable or cooperative subject. It was pretty hot outside, so she stayed nice and warm even when “neck-id.” She was asleep for most of the shoot!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

    These are some of the most beautiful pictures!! Great job- isn’t it so wonderful to take your own pics and not have to pay for a shoot!? πŸ™‚ Both of our babies have been/will be born in the winter, so no photo shoots outside for us πŸ™

    Andrea,
