Shannon's first shoot

When we announced Shannon's birth on Facebook we got lots and lots of messages. It's one of the things I love most about Facebook, the way you can connect with tons of people at once and get good news out into the world fast. I was amazed that one of the responses was from Missy, the photographer who took our final family of three photos, wanting to schedule Shannon's first photo shoot. I had told Missy that I wanted to get photos of Shannon when she was still just an itty bitty baby and Missy didn't forget. Before we had even left the hospital we had time scheduled for Shannon's big photo day.
I have to admit that after I scheduled the photo shoot I was a bit anxious about it. I was worried that my house was a wreck, I was completely sleep deprived, maybe my kids won't cooperate, will the lighting work, will Missy be able to get the photo, and so on. Well, I couldn't have been happier with the whole procecss. Missy showed up completely prepared, every prop ready to go, and with a sympathetic blind eye. She scooped up baby Shannon and swayed her into a deep, deep sleep to get oh so many of the shot. I am over the moon happy with the outcome and am so happy to share these with you.

My little princess


I could kiss this one


I don't know what it is about baby feet but they are just too cute! I LOVE these photos, love love love!




John was less than enthusiastic the day that Missy came over so she went above and beyond and invited us to her house to try one more time for a photo of the two of them together. I think these photos took about two hours to get. Missy is persistent, patient and a pleasure to be around!




We already have lots of these photos up and around the house. I can't say how much I love these and will cherish them always.

Please check Missy out, you will love her!!
