i feel a little like we are in the middle, and close to the end.
but not the beginning.
that is coming up soon.
so this week as i thought about beginnings i thought of how it has been almost a year since the huge beginning at the clifford home. all the new feelings that came with being a mom and holding a new human. and long quiet nursing time to just sit and stare and wonder what colors he dreams in…
just before christmas i held this little guy in-between shots and thought immediately that i wished i was pregnant…
that thought vanished just as quickly as it came on.
i finally fit into real jeans, folks.
not giving that up any time soon…
and though its not the beginning for his parents,
its all new to him.
…so is shooting newborns {for me}.
i was asked a year an a half ago to shoot a newborn
and ultimately declined out of fear of failure.
its a different ballgame and definitely takes more prep and planning.
so i guess its a beginning for me to as someone who likes to take photos.
Liam, meet The World.
World, meet Liam.

This is so cool to see what you did. I was just recently looking online at how to make one of those backdrops with a little bit of baseboard and laminate, etc. Meg, you did a great job with all the photos – all your prep paid off! And um, that is a TON of stuff to come prepared with! (Clearly I have never really thought about a newborn shoot.)
