Laine was just six days old when we had Desiree Swanson come to our home and photograph Laine. We turned up the heat to keep Laine drowsy and had her well fed before Desiree arrived. Grandma Good was staying to help out with the new baby, and she was able to see Desiree in action with Laine. Needless to say, I've never seen a photographer work so well with a newborn! She had many tricks up her sleeve, including a heating pad and sound machine, and it all helped her keep Laine asleep while she was posed.
We moved the dining room table aside as that was the best natural light for Desiree. She brought in her props and Laine was very cooperative, sleeping nearly the whole time. She did wake, however, just when we wanted her to, so that we were able to get a few shots with her beautiful blue eyes open!
Jayson got to participate by holding Laine in a few of the shots. My two favorites are the photos above and below. I think Laine looks totally angelic.
The scale in the photo above is what got my attention when my friend Cami used Desiree for newborn photos of her sweet daughter Courtney. I just had to know who had taken the pictures and would we be able to use that scale too!
It's hard to believe this was over three months ago...Laine has changed so much but the time has passed so fast.
