Cali's 1st official Photo Shoot with Mom~7 days old

I mailed this out as a thank you card, so I wanted to make sure they got to the other side of the country before I posted this. I was excited to find a place close to downtown Austin that sells envelopes of every color and got a golden yellow to match. The picture below is the one I used, just cropped in closer.
My friend Debra helped me make this yarn blanket a month or so ago. I love the colors and texture.
Look at that face.....
Almost a smile....This was a difficult setup with Cali in the basket. A lot of finagling (not sure how to spell that) on my part, and I was pretty worn out at the end. I wanted to show more of the basket, but didn't have a good backdrop set up for it, so I shot from above.
I love these sleepy in black and white.




My friend Stacy made this blanket below:
Blanket from Becca and pink tutu from my friend Michael O.
Purple petticoat that Alyssa is wearing in the previous post.
Which one is your favorite???

Oh, I love the soft black and white sleeping ones too...just so natural and soft and cuddly looking. It makes me feel all peaceful and happy. I want to hold and snuggle your tiny babe!

So sweet. I think my favorite one is the first black and white sleepy one. Too cute.

I love the color sleeping one with her folding her arms and the bow in her hair. And I love the purple petticoat one. And the one you picked for the card is perfect! I just want to squeeze her...gently :)

I love them all, but I think my favorite is the one in the purple petticoat, and the black and whites. But the purple one is precious.

My favorite is the color picture with the while bow in her hair. I love when newborns sleeps. You've captured it perfectly.

I love them all! My favorite I'd say is the one of her "almost smile" in the yarn blanket.
