Newborn Shark Bait

I am really, really blessed to have a wonderful friend who is also a very talented photographer. Mary has not only been at the births of Man Cub and Shark Bait (and done a wonderful job of documenting those wonderful days!) but she also did Shark Bait's newborn photos and they are just fantastic. My favourite part is that just a week after he was born we had a new family portrait worthy of being hung on the living room wall.

I can hardly believe how much Shark Bait has changed since these photos were taken. I love having this reminder of what he was like as an itty bitty newborn. And I am really, really grateful that I was not the one who took them! Don't get me wrong- I love photographing my kiddos and I am grateful to have the equipment, knowledge and ability to photograph my children, but newborn shoots are exhausting! I was already more tired after having Shark Bait than I have been with my other three kiddos births combined, so it was really nice to hand the task of newborn photos off to Mary. She let me give my thoughts and suggestions so I was able to play a role in his session, but she did the exhausting part that I did not have the energy to do.

If anyone in the Phoenix Valley needs newborn photos, let me know and I'll point you in Mary's direction. She is incredibly talented! You won't be sorry.
