At 3½ months, little Audrey is just as precious as can be with those big blue eyes, smooth, soft skin, and cheeks that you want to seriously nibble.
She wasn't giving out smiles for free on Saturday, however; instead, she made me work hard for each and every one.
All the smiles she eventually gave made all the funny faces and crying worth all our efforts. A big thank you to Mommy Juliane and our friend, Kenzie, who were both a terrific help in making the shoot a real success.
My first newborn shoot was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking, but William was so precious that my fears melted away as soon as I met him. {sigh} All went well, aside from his refusal to really fall asleep, even after 2 feedings and a sauna of a house to keep him feeling cozy. He also tinkled twice. Oops. But in the end, I was thankful to have managed to capture his cuteness, wide awake and all. :)
Capturing this beautiful mother was a sweet delight for me because she is not only gorgeous and super photogenic, but she has such a laid back, relaxed manner that it made my job almost easy. She's a dream...and due in just 4 days.
“Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something, which there are no words to express.”
~Joseph Addison
The relationship between a father and his daughter truly is something special and it was a sure blessing to capture it between these two. It warmed my heart to see the genuine love, adoration, and light-hearted humor that they shared, so much so that I had a cheek ache on the way home from smiling. :)
