I hoped that she would just kind of lay there and let me do my thing but my munchkin is not the sleepy kind. She much prefers to be awake and observing the world. Mistake number one. I guess I never thought about the fact that you can’t tell a newborn to ‘hold that pose’. About half way through she dozed off in my husbands arms and I was able to attempt some more staged shots.
Mistake number two was attempting the bare bum shot. You may notice there are none to be found here. I gave up on that after she peed all over my kitchen floor moments after the diaper was removed. Note to self, full tummy equals full bladder.
Thankfully my wonderful husband was most helpful with bringing me props, holding blankets, and cleaning up the mess! Practice makes perfect!
