Mr. A is here. He is the delicious little monkey of this couple. He weighed in over 9 lbs and 22 inches long, but don’t let that poundage full you, he was not the little chunkster my 9 lbers were. This little guy was all legs, fingers and feet. He was SO good to me and this is just why I like them at 1 week old. Daddy gave him a full bottle, burped him and then he passed right out. I was able to do so many things with him. I even got him (all 9 lbs) in a bowl my dear friend and fellow photographer Kristi Hedberg sent to me. She knows I am a bit of a bowl nut for my bowl baby series and sent me this beautiful pottery planter. This is not a very big bowl and I knew it would need a special baby in it. One that was sound asleep and still super curly. Mr. A, had the promise of those attributes and he came through for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It is just tough deciding between color or black and white versions.
And then there was Dad’s tattoo. He was willing to show it off in the maternity session, and I was so so happy that he did it again for this shot. This image had been on reserve in my head for when the baby came, I was just waiting patiently for the day to come. Thank you Dad for going shirtless, you are one of the few to brave it. Hopefully you will inspire future Dad’s to come, and not just the mommies go bare to bare with the baby. I can’t wait for the next year of images with all 3 of you.
