January 2010
Ben was three weeks old when
I took my “real” camera out for the first time to photograph him. I walked into our master bedroom after lunch and
the sunshine was streaming in. Inspired,
I ran to grab my camera and then I rocked Ben to sleep in my arms, hoping to
get some shots of him asleep in our bed.
I remember rocking him, laying him down only to have him wake up and cry
(which was uncharacteristic of him). I
repeated this process many times over. Finally,
I popped in his soother and took some shots of him wide awake. This is one of my favorites. I love his tiny little newborn body, all
seven and a half pounds at the three week mark, taking up such little space in
our queen size bed.
