Zeke and his mommy

I feel like I should start out this post by acknowledging the fact that I am not, nor do I think I am, anywhere near a professional photographer. Actually, I don’t even like to use the word “photographer.” I am a girl that just happens to have a decent camera. But when one of your best friends has their first baby? That just calls for a photoshoot. I asked Stef if I could take a few pictures of her and her sweet baby boy while I was over at her house for a visit.

And let me just give props to those newborn photographers. When you see those pictures, they don’t come easily. So while these pictures aren’t professional quality, I sure did have fun taking them. Here are some of the pictures from our day. Stef is a beautiful mommy and Zeke is super handsome!

He even popped in a smile for me at the end 🙂
I’m looking forward to watching this little cutie grow!

My Little Doll

One of the best things about having a girl is dressing her. I love all the frilly, lacy, girly clothes. And the headbands, bows, flowers, scarves, leggings, boots (need I go on?) to accessorize. It’s like having my own little doll to play with–but so much more fun!

Last year, while I was pregnant with Evangeline, I saw a baby dress at Target that I fell in love with. Problem was, it was $17.50 (on clearance!?!) I wouldn’t even spend that much for a dress for myself, much less a baby who would outgrow it in 2-3 months!

So I waited and kept checking Goodwill, hoping to find it. Imagine my sheer excitement when I saw it hanging on the rack one day!! I immediately purchased it and have been dreaming of putting my baby girl in it ever since.

She got to wear it for the first time today. Let’s just say, this dress did not disappoint. She looked absolutely precious in it! That called for a makeshift photo studio and lots of “mommy acting a fool” behind the camera.

I think she started to grow impatient with me while I tried to get a clear picture of her in her dress. Kai thought it looked like fun so he wanted to go next.

I was getting a lot of these kind of pictures.
