There’s just something about a new baby.  There is so much unknown and so much potential.  Every day brings surprises and new stories to tell.  I recently had an opportunity to photograph Emmie.  She’s 2 months old and just as cute as she can be.  She wasn’t too thrilled with having her picture taken but when she got too fussy her mama just rocked her to sleep and we kept right on shooting!  This job I do is a little like a baby I guess.  Every day is a new day and you just never know what it’s going to bring.  I absolutely love what I do and am so happy I get to do it!  Miss Emmie, I had a great time with you.  I can’t wait to see you again and see how much you’ve grown!

At this point she had had about all she wanted of my camera and was drifting in and out of sleep.

And then she just couldn’t hang in there any longer.  So, mama put a bow on her head and we just kept going!  I love those little baby wrinkles!

She was awake for a bit and the rain had finally stopped so we went outside to get a special picture Mama had in mind.  Emmie’s daddy is a John Deere fan and they wanted a picture of her in this sweet dress with one of his collectibles.  She wasn’t very happy with the heat but she hung in there.

And then she just couldn’t take it any longer!

We finally left the poor baby alone and let her sleep.  But I couldn’t resist one more little attempt at making Daddy happy.  Somehow I don’t think she needs my help to do that.

And last but not least, my favorite shot of the day.
