Newborn pics...

A friend let me know that a local photographer was looking for a newborn girl to take pictures of to increase her portfolio...the best part...it's FREE!  Sounds good, right?  WRONG!!  After driving out to her remote house in Fennville (kinda desolate and creepy!) she answers the door and is not overly friendly.  I have to ask if I am even at the right house because she is not acting like she knows who I am!  The next hour and a half consists of me carrying most of the conversation and constantly asking what she wants me to do...you would think since she is the photographer she would be telling me what to do!

Peyton was not liking having her clothes off AT ALL!  She proceeded to cry hysterically for the majority of the time...which is not great for newborn pictures!  I think the photographer was thinking a sleeping baby would have been better!  In an attempt to calm Peyton down I fed her.  It had only been an hour since I had fed her previously so she didn't eat a lot but it calmed her down enough that I could lay her down on the cloth backdrop that the photographer had set up and she was able to snap a few pictures before Peyton decided to projectile vomit all over the photographer and her white cloth back drop and set up!  I was speechless and kept apologizing profusely!  So embarrassing!  After the vomiting we were able to get a few pictures...I wasn't impressed with the photographers skills or props.  She said she had a lot of cute girl props she wanted to try...I guess I learned the lesson that everyone has their own definition of "cute".  I think Peyton knew some of the props were not cute because she would cry whenever the lady tried to put the not cute ones on her!

Here are the few...some cute...some look a little awkward but funny!
