Henry's Newborn Photo Shoot

When Henry was 12 days old, he had his second photo shoot (he was one day old in his first one) with the photographer (and C's cousin's wife) that will be taking images of his first year.  Stephanie took photos of C and I when Chris "retired" from the Army in 2010.  We are so grateful that Stephanie was able to squeeze us in-she drove 1.5 hours early on a Sunday morning to photograph him at our home!  You can check out more of Stephanie's work here at her website and blog.  There are so, so many great photos-I'm having a hard time deciding my favorites but here are a few from the day.  We tried to use props from our house in the images.  The brown basket is Henry's toy basket and was a Christmas gift from C's parents and the red cedar crate is very special to us, it was made by C's grandpa (Henry's great-grandpa) out of cedar that was cut from their property.  We love having the crate as part of our home!







Not sure how I'm going to pick which ones to get printed :)

Christmas Card Photos!

'Tis the season for all things holiday and our annual Christmas card!  We (um, I) thought it would be fun to use our new camera (thanks Mom and Dad for the early Christmas gift!) to take a self-timer photo for our holiday card this year.  Lesson learned: it's very hard to get two people and two dogs to all look in the same direction and not be blurry using the self-timer.  Especially since we were on a limited time frame since we had childbirth class to get to.  I imagine next year will be even harder with a baby to consider, we may be going the professional photo route instead.

Here are a few of our (failed) attempts!

 Thank goodness, a usable photo!
