Have you ever been so tired that you forget how to spell your own name? Yea that just happened I was with a client, luckily my husband was there too. We’re all friends and we where going over their pictures and hanging out and when making out my check asked me how I spelled my last name if it was Tenney or Tenny and I literally went blank. I was thinking of how when I tried to email my mother in law how she spelled her fist name Jenny and it was no e (Jenney) because people would type to fast and write Jenny Tenney and that was wrong and horrible lol. You know how some times you type and your mind is ahead of you? So for a second I was like “um is there supposed to be an e in my last name”? Heaven help me I have lost my mind, but God it was so funny. What can I say I”m quirky like that. I actually just hopped on the computer wrote this out as a draft first and saved it because I had to tell you about this movie I just saw called ” I don’t know how she does it”, it was so funny. It just basically shows how humorous trying to be a working mom is and all the crazy and funny stuff life throws at you when you have kids. Here are two clips I though were good to show you what I mean.
So this is my shout out to all the mommies who think their life is crazy! See the humor in it all and laugh it off. I live a crazy life, I love it, It’s funny, I try to balance, and I have fun because well, life is crazy and it can’t be helped. You just have to go with it, it’s the only way to have fun.
I though this tied very well into something else I’ve been needing to post a that is the beautiful baby Isabella. I have to say I really enjoyed seeing her mom really become a mommy now that she’s here! When you see people you know before kids and then after not only is it kinda funny sometimes but It’s also amazing. Seeing them hold their little tiny baby, It’s super precious. So this is Miss. Isabella.
I really had a blast and loved this rosy version of this image. When she was born you would have thought she was a c-section baby. I know it’s funny to say but she has the perfect little round head.
I was so excited that this fit but I just loved this little headband. I tend to add a prop or two to the collection every couple of sessions and so when I went out to look for things I really had a blast. Too bad I have a boy. Boys are easier, however if we have a second one I still kinda wonder if it would be a girl. My mother-in-law had three boys trying for a girl lol.
I also put her in this adorable little skirt. Looking for one was great because my husband was so far out of his element it was ridiculous. He would point to one and say, “well that’s pink” and I would say “yes honey bright pink fuchsia with sequins, It’s not like she’s going to a club, honey. Think girlie, baby girl”. One thing that I didn’t think would happen but, planned for was believe it or not, the weather. I know these are not outdoor pictures but I like to do newborn sessions using window light and in the winter it’s great because you get a lot of cloudy skies. Which gives you beautiful diffused light coming in though the windows. Although even though sun goes down earlier I wasn’t expecting it to disappear in the clouds then also be at an angle where the window I was using was shaded. I always come prepared though and we set up the lights and moved on.
It’s great getting to photograph baby girls because they have headbands and all sorts of adorable props, but this was also one of my favorites. She doesn’t have her headband on and is still wearing her diaper but I think it’s beautiful. I kind of wonder though, opinions anyone.. do you think it would have the same vibe if she was wearing a headband or hat?
Here are some more with out the prop stuff. I just really loved this blanket and just her beautiful little self.
I do love this one, vertically too! She just makes me laugh though because she never really relaxed her hand. Her mom said that when babies are full they will relax it. This little one is always hungry, poor mom. I felt like she drank five gallons while I was there. But her mama knows her and daddy too. At one point I though she was pretty passed out and they said, watch we’ll put her in the basket and in a minute she will be hungry again, and sure enough that’s what happened.So after she ate she looked like this, hand curved up under her chin, so sweet. I also just adore this one of her mom. You may not feel the same but I just love to see moms.. & dads fawn over their new babies.
I also really liked seeing her ring in this one so we did a hands over the baby shot.
For the rest of these I know, I know, I went a little crazy cause their all sepia! I normally do feet and hand pictures on black, but it was the end of the session and we just kinda flowed into this and I was really surprised how much I liked some of the angles that I may be wouldn’t normally use.
