Aren't newborns just the sweetest little beings ever? Vaughn was only 9 days young when I had the privilege of taking his first photos. He was the absolute BEST baby ever!
Congratulations to Lori and Troy!

This last photo makes me laugh...almost out loud as I look at it! You wouldn't believe what it took to get this teeny tiny little guy in this sling without it looking like he was being swallowed up by the sling! I'm not sure Vaughn weighed in at 6 lbs at this point so you can image how tiny and limp he was.
Trust me when I say that this was NOT posed in any way. Seriously, what you see is what you get...literally. I was behind the camera while the mommy and grammy were both holding up the sling (one person at each end, just slightly above a newborn beanbag...safety first). I was quickly snapping away, not really paying much attention to the pose; praying for a print worthy shot!
It wasn't until I was editing the photos that I realized how incredible this shot was!
Sometimes you just have to go with it!
Thank you Rita and Lori for all your help during this shoot!
You were fantastic assistants!
You captured these moments so beautifully!
