I met sweet, new, little Isla today. I was so ready for a newborn shoot – after a maternity shoot this morning, a newborn was a perfect follow up!
Lindsey and Andrew showed up with their diaper bag full, and we got this sweet little darling up and ready, and *BAM* she was awake. Lindsey fed her, and cuddled, and back into the basket asleep she went. Then, she pooped. And not just a little one, oh no… this was a good one! So, we tidied her up, back into the basket. Awake.
Isla fought and fought. Then after over an hour, it hit me – I walked into the bathroom, turned on the fan and got her in the basket in the bathroom. She slept. I moved her out to the set, and got some pictures… she woke up. Back into the bathroom with the fan, re-posed her… asleep. We repeated this little manoeuvre 4 or 5 times before we were able to move on to the family photos.
Anyways, I told you Isla, I haven’t met a baby that I didn’t get to sleep yet – you weren’t going to be my first!
