Newborn: Eli

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 Posted in Newborn

Little Eli is so tiny that his clothes don’t even fit right. I wish I looked as cute as he does with baggy clothes on.

Eli is 7 days old today. Already a charmer.

SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) Shot!

Babies in picnic baskets look extra scrumptious.

I added a little bit of antique tone, but now that I’m posting I’m starting to think I like it even better SOOC!

Diaper changes are quite common at newborn shoots (as is to be expected).

THAT SHOT!

I love the way he is sticking his little diaper-clad bum in the air.

Back in the basket he went, naked this time, and not happy about it.

A few minutes with the binky gave us a few seconds of calm.

Do you see that look? The tears are coming!

And there they are. Don’t worry my love, it’s all over now.

Thanks to Eli’s mom and dad for letting me play with their sweet little newborn for an hour today. He’s darling, and I think we got some really good shots in between all the tears. :)

March 4, 2009 - 11:16 pm Kristin (Quiche) - Oh my goodness, I could eat him with a spoon. He is ADORABLE. Great shots, Avo!

March 5, 2009 - 7:25 am Mandy - how adorable! When I was born, pre-me clothes were even too big. I wore my sister's cabbage patch kids cloths for the first month of my existence!

March 5, 2009 - 9:41 am Ruby Slippers - Oh he's so tiny and wrinkly! Awwww. The one where he's wailing in the basket is so adorable - but why are his feet purple? Is that normal? (I've barely ever seen a newborn, so I really have no idea!) I think you got some great shots, especially since it must have been a bit stressful with him weeping all the time.

March 5, 2009 - 5:09 pm kaitlyn - Oh, again, precious. Amazing shots Jenna!

March 5, 2009 - 6:25 pm Lisa - Thanks so much again, Jenna, the pictures are adorable! I was wondering about the purple feet too, then I realized his feet are still ink-stained from his footprints being taken at the hospital! I hadn't even noticed before! :)

March 6, 2009 - 5:01 am Brandi - He's like an Easter present!! I love it!

March 8, 2009 - 12:38 am Emily A - LOVE your photo blog Jenna! Fantastic!

March 13, 2009 - 4:47 am Tenille - I am loving the newborn baby wrinkly skin. Great shots Jenna.
