Natalie's glamor newborn pics

We are lucky enough to have a sister-in-law who has a sister who's into portrait photography. She has her own website (Pepperwood Photography) and is building her portfolio right now. So, she kindly offered to take some newborn pictures of Natalie, at 5 days old. I love them ALL!

As "the mom" I got the fun treat of sitting on the couch, visiting with my sister-in-law and her two sisters while they worked their magic with Natalie...

They created their own natural-light studio in the kitchen,brought their own props (I especially love all the hats), and cranked the heat up to 76F to make Natalie comfortable (while the rest of us were sweating).


I love this little close-up... maybe the most. She has my lips. :)
We've never had "professional" newborn pictures of our babies before, so this was an especially fun treat! Thanks, Alyson (and Jen, and Alysa)!!

Hi Kam!

Congratulations! Natalie, is just beautiful! What adorable pictures - they really are glamor shots, what a cutie! I'll bet she's not spoiled either. . .

Hugs,

How fun! I love all of them! I just kept thinking how much she looked like Samantha to me and she does have your chin and mouth. So cute! The one of her in the travel suit turned out nicely. And her eyes are even open. I'm glad you and Natalie got to go and do this.

I LOVE THEM! So cute. You are lucky to have them when she is only 5 days old. You will always love these. I think the hats are adorable. She definitely looks like Samantha (and you). You just need to do some with you and her together. The ones of me and Zachy when he was only 2 weeks old are my favorite! Just wear a black shirt and a black background and a sweet little naked baby. You have to do it.

So precious, Kam. You are always going to treasure these!

Also, I owe you an email. Trust me, I do.

Aren't these SWEET?!! I'm glad you told me today that these were posted on here, cause they're so precious to see! I like the one where her eyes are open--the one where she's laying in the basket in that little white suit that she and Sammie and Spencer all wore as they each came home from the hospital. She sure fit that little white tavel suit
WELL, didn't she!
How nice of Alyssa to set you up with her sister like that!! Love, your Mom (p.s.--is the Jeanna above your roommate from BYU who came home with you that time years ago?? ...just wondering...)
