I went to visit Lyla (and Katie I guess…..) the day after they got home from the hospital. At first I was just going so I could cuddle her for a bit, but somehow my camera ended up in the car. I got to Katie’s house and we decided we would sneak a few pictures in with some natural light so Katie didn’t have to go “work” in the studio. She really shouldn’t even be up and running around, I tell you she is crazy. Lyla slept through everything we were doing, the only thing we struggled with is the fact that we were shooting without our lights. Natural light through a window is tricky business, and we were madly changing the settings on our cameras the whole time. But it was so much fun to try something new, and so much fun to play with beautiful Lyla.
Oh and I just had to change my song for Lyla’s pictures to Jewel’s Angel Standing By. I pretty much start to tear up anytime I listen to it. So pretty.
Um her feet. They are way too long for her tiny body…….crazy!
The amazing Amanda Keeys sent me this absolutely gorgeous hat to photograph, it arrived from Australia just a few days before Lyla arrived. Perfect timing! You can get your hands on Amanda’s hats here.
