4:51 pmPrecious,
My photog-neighbor, Kristen, took some shots of Deacon today. He was not happy about it. And when I say “not happy”, I mean he screamed his frickin head off for two hours while she tried her very hardest to capture his “newborn innocence”. Bottom line: he was pissed, man. He just wanted to sleep. He abhors the camera flash. He detested being stripped down nekkid and having a satin bow wrapped around him. And what can you do when you’re a newborn and find yourself being stripped down nekkid against your will and tied up with a bow? Why, you pee all over the photographer’s props, of course. And I mean, all over them. Like, soaking through several layers of backdrops and blankets and tapestries. (That’ll teach her to try to take pictures of his precious l’il bum.)
But of the 350 disastrous shots of him screaming and looking eerily like an old man, she managed to get a few shots that were absolutely awesome. (Have I mentioned before that the girl is good??) Here are a couple preliminary shots:
I know, cute, right? (I’m pretty sure he was screaming in the second one, but you can’t tell since it’s the very top of his head… she had to get creative with obscuring his unhappiness.)
I’ll post a few more up on flickr once she’s photoshopped out the tears and red-faced screaming… and pee stains.

Those pictures turned out so cute. I love the one of the top of his head too, it’s a good one to have since he has so much adorable hair.

P.S. You were logged in as Jon when you commented on my blog so it looks like Jon is a big fan of my hair.

What more can be said of your pictures…precious, precious, precious. Deacon looks like he’s smiling and those cute, little, tiny toes. What an irresistable baby!

What a beautiful baby! Of course we can’t here the screaming but I can only agree with him about being stripped nekkid and tied in a bow! =0

Gorgeous! Your baby boy is beautiful! How lucky to have a cool photographer neighbor! Of course, she’s probably thinking, “How lucky to have cute neighbors like the Gales!”

I’ve got baby envy. I’ll put on some tea and give you a break for a few hours…oh…we’re not exactly next door.

Absolutely gorgeous. I wish we were neighbors, too, though I doubt I could take such phenomenal photos.
