Way back in September {what seems like a decade ago and also just a few days ago at the same time}, our darling friend Emma came over to snap pictures of our family when Zianne was a mere eight days old. I didn’t share the photos right away, because I wanted our Christmas cards to go out before I posted the pictures online. Call me old-fashioned, but I put a lot of time and thought into our Christmas card each year, and I feel like it’s lame to post the pictures you plan to send to your closest friends and family online beforehand.
The flip-side to my rigidness about Christmas cards is that I’m finally posting my child’s newborn shoot on the blog when she is six months old. You win some; you lose some. So here are some pictures of our giant child when she was still just a wee little thing.
Also, newborn shoots are no joke. There were multiple outfit changes, diaper changes, and feedings, and it was the only time I felt like I pushed my postpartum body too hard. I was sweating through the whole shoot and had to take ibuprofen afterward, but at least we captured these shots to treasure forever, right? Baby #2 might get a one month old shoot or something like that.
