It’s challenging to be a photographer and a mom. I had and of course still have grand ideas about what my child’s photos are going to look like – I mean, come on, I have a 24/7 photo prop. Um…if I had all the money in the world, I would probably pay someone to take these photos for me sometimes! Trying to figure out how to calm the baby, style the baby, keep the baby warm, and get her to sleep while taking photos is basically impossible. I remember one of the early days when Russ was at school for what seemed like forever and I had cabin fever so…I tried to be all those people in one with a 3 week old. Let’s just say that things my living room became a gigantic mess and I had tears running down my face. I have since learned that Nana (my mom) is the best assistant ever – hands down. She get’s me and my crazy need / desire to have my ideas come to fruition and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Granted, I have had to scale back my dreams about what photos I will have of Ryleigh and be ok with the day to day snapshots, but I am still gunning for at least 4 ‘real’ sessions this year (0/4/8/12). My two favorite photos of Ryleigh’s “session” one week after she was born.
