This sweet little girl already holds a special place in my heart! She is the daughter of Carolina and Nicholas whose wedding I photographed last February. They knew they wanted to be parents right away, so they welcomed their daughter Annabelle before their first wedding anniversary! Now Annabelle herself is quite amazing – she finished eating while I unpacked my gear, and then slept for an hour and a half straight and let us move her every which way (swapping out hats as we went….even the itchy one that I’ve never been able to photograph on a baby). AND she didn’t have any mishaps on any of my blankets. THAT has never happened before! 🙂

Can’t wait to show mommy and daddy all of these at the Gallery on Wednesday, but for now, a sneak peek!

Did I forget to mention all of that beautiful dark hair!?

Baby Landscape:

Nick’s cousin, Samantha, made this hat for her! Not sure if she knew my love for pink and brown, but I think I need a custom hat for my arsenal. 🙂

Here’s the super itchy hat I ordered from Etsy that I’ve never been able to photograph:

I love this one because the backdrop is a piece of artwork that Carolina made for the nursery! And the green blanket she’s laying on was Nick’s from his childhood:

Another thing we did that I hadn’t bothered with in a long time, was to put Annabelle in the little “Forever Photography” baby shirts I made years ago. She’s my new little mascot! (I think she liked that, see that smile?)
