Newborn Photography

Today Zac and I took our little Zane on an outing to get newborn pictures taken. Before Zane's arrival we had decided that we were going to have our wedding photographer, Tess of Van's Studio of Photography, take Zane's newborn pictures.

We loved the work she did for our engagement photos:


Our wedding photos....


And our maternity pictures....


So it was no question that we would set up an appointment for her to take pictures of our little guy during his first week of life. Today we headed into the studio and were very excited to see what Tess had in store for us. We brought a few props, inlcuding some books, a stuffed animal, our wedding rings, and a few of his cloth diapers. Tess also had a bunch of props and we were happy to see her go to work.

Just sitting back and watching Tess position Zane, Zac and I could see that the pictures were going to turn out amazing! We're excited to see the images very soon. After our session was over we set up appointments for Zane's 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year photoshoots. We can already tell that this year is going to go by way too fast. We'll be happy to have a document of his growth.

When we returned home from our appointment. we checked the mail and found that we had already received some of Zane's newborn photos. The photos were taken at our hospital about 17 hours after Zane was born. The photographer had caught me in a somewhat vunerable state. I mean, really! I had just given birth to this baby whom I was becoming obsessed with and now she was showing me pictures of his cute little face! I couldn't resist.

It was probably against our better judgment, but we purchased the disc of pictures. While we think that there are a few cute shots here we aren't in love with the photos. Perhaps it's because we just got back from being giddy over the photos that Tess had captured.

At any rate...here are little Zane's hospital pictures, taken before he was even 24 hours old. It's funny how he's changed already. We think he kind of looks like my dad in these pictures.









Our favorite one....


More newborn pictures to come!
