Mommy & Me
Aghhhhh it’s SUCH a gorgeous Saturday! We have truly been blessed this year with such a mild winter! And no I will never get tired of saying that! I absolutely despise the cold! I like for one good snow for shoots & then I’m over it! I used to like snow just so I wouldn’t have to go to my “real world” job…but thankfully now that I’m 100% self employed…I don’t have to worry about that! Everyday is a snow day for me! Well not technically all true since I do still have to get up & “work” but now it’s fun work that I can sit home in my pj’s & do all day which is what I absolutely love doing….all photography!
This is the last session in a series, or at least until April when our next session is planned! If you missed Crystal & Gavin’s maternity shoot you can find it here! And if you missed the reveal of the baby inside the bump you can see that lil cutie here! Now I typically don’t shoot lil ones again until they are 3 months old & only if it’s a family session or a “mommy & me” session. In other words, someone has gotta be holding the baby. At 3 months they still aren’t able to “do” a whole lot, as in lift their head for awhile, sit up, etc. I’m personally not a fan of a huge looking baby in a basket at 3 months old…everyone knows they’re way too big for that as they aren’t a newborn anymore. So I LOVE to shoot them as a more lifestyle type session.
Well Crystal decided she couldn’t wait until 3 months for her next session! She just felt like the baby was growing & changing way too fast for her liking & she wanted it documented! We already had their family session set up for April so we decided to do this as a “mommy & me” session instead! I know Crystal doesn’t have a ton of pics of herself growing up & she definitely wanted to give lil M that! Once they’re past the newborn stage then I shoot the rest of the pics outdoors! With it being “winter” we waited & stalked the forecast for a perfect day…don’t want any sick babies! Annnnnd JACKPOT! Last Wednesday was GORGEOUS, as in 70 degrees kinda gorgeous! What a way to kick off the first day in February!
The weather was perfect for this kind of shoot! Now don’t let her fool you completely…she was a tad cranky when we started but just needed a snack to get her going & being she’s only 2 months old & hasn’t been in the sun for a long period of time…she had a hard time opening her eyes at first! But she knocked it out & was perfect!
Here are my faves! Started off with her really letting me know how she felt about the shoot! 
Hoping her eyes turn the light colored blue like her mamas!
The dress is another fabulous Foxy Fawn creation! LOVED the pattern & bonus…it’s reversible! So the other side was a solid type print for Valentine’s Day! And her super cute headpiece came from My2lilpixies!
If you are interested in setting up your own “mommy & me” session please email me amy@stillframesphotography.com!
Just think of all the awesome memories your lil one can share with their own family one day!
