Since Hubs and I both work in the artistic industry, we both have some very talented friends. One of our special family friends Hubs met back in 2007-2008. Her name is Tracy, and she runs Tracy Page Photography. An awesome photographer, Tracy arranged a few sessions for Red as he has gotten older. We were so lucky to have Tracy visit the hospital on the day of Red’s birth to take newborn photos. I mean he was one day old – fresh – as I like to call it.
These shots helped us to make our newborn announcements, too! A week later, she came to the house to get some more shots of Red – a little less wear and tear, more sleeping and sniper pooping. (Sniper poop is where you think you’re safe from a poop, get the baby nakie for a shot, and then the poop flies – it’s a bad, but hilarious thing).
Thankfully, no one got hit, and it was a wonderful session. When your little one is this small, it’s easy to pose them while they sleep, and you get some great shots!
And last, we just recently had our 8 month shoot. We decided to wait past 6 months so Red could sit up steadily on his own and develop some personality, but catch him quickly before, as Tracy said, “he crawls right out of the frame”! Red was very cranky that morning, but over the course of about 90 minutes, we got some shots. (Even if he was crying to be held!) Let it be known that Red wanted his blankie in every shoot to keep him calm, so we started to improvise. (I think this is my favorite shot!)
If you have a chance, go check Tracy out at Babycake Studios. I also do headshot makeup and styling for her, so we might meet up! Hubs and I treasure these photos so much – as clothes become too small, toys break, and diapers are used, these photos will live on for us, and remind us of when Red was so very small and needed us so much. A session is the perfect baby gift. I love these photos! THANK YOU TRACY!

Thank you so much! And thanks for visiting! Congratulations on your second little one hitting 3 months. It never goes by slowly. What was it like to go from one to two? Inquiring mind over here 😉
Aww such sweet pictures!
