Ahhh… this sweet girl was as pleasant as they come. At 3 months old, she is calm, quiet, content, giggly and exuding pure preciousness. I could have photographed her all day or snuggled… if only I got paid for cuddling. We had such a gloomy and foggy morning that I didn’t think the light would be sufficient. But thanks to a sweet sunroom off their house with walls of windows on three sides, we had wonderful light as the morning progressed. Three months is a **tough** age to photograph and probably the least dynamic in terms of posing of the baby’s first year collection, in my humble opinion. They flail around, with arms a flapping and are so darn cute with their darling smiles, but they cannot stay still! As a mommy, it’s pure delight to see them express their personalities and move around in elation at just being alive. As a photographer, it certainly makes it challenging to catch that fleeting moment of stillness and hence, photos that are in focus!! But this little angel made my job such a pleasure. A couple of hours with a doll like her and I was halfway considering having another baby. (Then I went home and the delusions quickly subsided) :-)
Here are some of my favorites of baby Gabby. Hope you love them as much as I loved photographing her. I cannot wait for the 6 month shoot!
