Malachi

Remember when I used to post on this blog daily? Well, that's not life with a one year old, lol! I'm lucky when I get to work, and even luckier when L isn't in my lap, jabbing his jelly-smeared fingers all over my keyboard typing, or repeatedly bashing the mouse into the desk surfing the internet. Of course, when I do have time to work, I end up spending most of it goofing off on Facebook networking, rather than blogging. Priorities, people!

Anyway, here is a small behind the scenes collage from one of my most recent newborn shoots... and hands down the most difficult one I've ever done! It seemed that everything was conspiring against me this day... even myself (but that's another story). When the baby just absolutely will not leave Mom's arms, no matter how much milk he gets, or how sweetly you coo and shush him, or how peacefully the sound of the ocean rolls along on your phone app, and no matter how warm or cool he is... what do you do?

"Behind the scenes" shots between sets, I say! These are the REAL moments, anyway! I always take a lot of behind the scenes photos. That way, if nothing else works, you at least have those. Surprisingly, sometimes (as in this case), they are even better than the photos you had originally planned.

I'm personally in love with these natural photos of baby Malachi.
