The people I’m lucky enough to work with always amaze me. Stacey was in one of the weddings I captured last summer and I was so excited when she emailed me a few months ago and said that she and Brenen were expecting!
Despite having the usual new parent jitters, they took little Nolan to the beach and while mom and dad stayed on mosquito patrol I was able to get some beautiful shots of this new family. The little guy was more interested in getting some sleep than in having his photo taken so we got alot of yawning shots and one quick snap of his eyes.
They assure me he’s not always this cooperative at home!
I asked Stacey & Brenen what their favorite part of having Nolan had been so far.
I won’t lie, I was a little nervous before this shoot. we did it together with micah’s cousin and I got to their house before ladonna and micah arrived. her lovely sister mentioned that he had kept her up during most of the night and this could be a little rough.
last week I had my first ever ‘real’ babysitting gig. our friends brought little eliza into the world a few weeks ago and mom decided it was time to get her hair done and asked if I would like to watch their little girl for a few hours on wednesday. growing up I was never really around babies at all and other than our niece and nephew my experience is limited. I won’t lie – I was a little nervous. marsha armed me with all the little tips on how to handle her if she got really fussy.
