{ Baby Boy has arrived, introducing Colten!}





When I started my blog, I took pictures of Shannon and Jake. They were expecting their first baby, a baby boy.  Colten was born in January! I could not wait to take his newborn pictures. Now granted, I have never taken newborn pictures before. So I read up on taking newborn pictures and packed my car full of props.  We unloaded the car and set up in Colten’s baby room.
So we were ready for our photo session. Poor little Colten did not know what was coming. He was so precious! So we start out by propping him up and trying different shots but very soon, Colten did not like this. So we took our first break! And we set up new props and took new pictures. And we took another break. My favorite time during this photo shoot was when Colten was really crying and was not feeling the photo time. Jake swaddled Colten and Colten immediately calmed down. It was amazing to see him calm right down. We took many pictures of him all swaddled up.
We ended our photo time outside. The weather was beautiful! Perfect Florida day! And Colten was sound asleep. We took Jake and Shannon’s wedding rings and placed them on Colten’s toes. So precious.  Jake and Shannon are a sweet couple and their baby boy is just adorable. It was a privilege to take his newborn pictures and to define such a special family moment; forever in pictures.
