Finn's Newborn Pictures

So, I'm a little behind. Just like, 4 months behind. But better late than never, right? I'm a huge fan of photography. I work with video every day in my day job, and as much as I think video is wonderful, I think still photos are meant to capture moments and be displayed as memories. My desk at work is covered with these memories, as is our apartment. In fact, one of my career professional development goals is to become a better photographer because I get photo envy with pretty much every blog I follow... but that's a story for another day.Today's story is all about Finn's newborn photos. Even looking back on these now, I already have forgotten how little and fresh he was. I cannot believe how quickly he has changed. Funny story - David and I hadn't thought about getting Finn's newborn photos taken - I blame that on being new parents. Lots of other things going on! When we took Finn to the pediatrician for his first check-up, my mom spotted a photo canvas hanging on the wall and asked who the photographer was. Brilliantly, the photographer had left behind business cards and my mom called her on the way home. She just happened to have an opening the following week! These photos were taken when Finn was 2 weeks and 1 day young!I cannot say enough good things about Carla and her photos. She was the baby whisperer. Finn was a typical newborn, fairly fussy with a chaotic schedule. As soon as we walked into her home studio, Carla worked her magic. She was so gentle and thoughtful with Finn. He fell asleep shortly after arriving and she kept him asleep for the entire hour long session. I even asked her to come home with me so I could get some sleep :)I wanted Finn's photos to be personalized, so I brought David's fly fishing rod with us. I can't wait to see David and Finn fishing together when he gets bigger! I also cut David's name off of his Marine Corps uniform, which I thought was super clever way to show off the new Gregory baby. I can't choose my favorite. I'm probably bias, but I think Finn is the cutest baby ever!
