My first newborn shoot!

[steffievdakker]

Had my first newborn shoot yesterday. She's actually 3 months old already, but was born 2 months early, and now weighs as much as a normal newborn.

It had been years since I last saw a baby... She's so little and soft and beautiful! I melted! When we undressed for the photoshoot, she started crying, but after she was given some milk she calmed down. Then she peed all over her dad! But she was a great model and I think I got some really nice pictures.

I would love to hear what you think about these photographs. I showed them to the mom already and she's very excited.

There's more on flickr for all of the baby lovers out here

What a wonderful set of shots. You should be very proud of them.

They are all amazing, but the second and third did it for me. They are very good.
