First (Real) Photo Shoot

6 WEEKS OLD

I had a very tough time deciding which one I liked better between this one and the top one. Mrs. Jones made the blanket that he is nestled in to and my mom got him his "Connor" gown (look closely it is monogrammed in white).

We did NOT get this one, but his face cracks me up. It is like he is thinking "do I look like a feathers guy??? Where's the football?!"


I brightened the two pictures above up a little. They were dark at the studio. I did order some of the one directly above because it was a little brighter than the other, but I love his face in the first.

"Diaper shot" but we cropped the diaper out so you can't see it in the real one.

What a handsome little guy! We got this one in sepia.

A little grunter even when he was getting his picture taken!

One of my favorites.
We got the most of this one. I wish you could see his mouth, but I LOVE his pinky and his expression. I am so proud of how well he did!

Overall I am VERY pleased and would highly recommend Portrait Innovations. I got a TON of pictures (lots of really big ones) for an extremely reasonable amount of money. There were no sitting fees or charges to have them zoom in, etc. and I got the pictures in 10 minutes! Brian was coming back into town when we had these taken, but next time I will make sure I'm not there alone to have to make the difficult decision of narrowing all the pictures down!

Connor was absolutely amazing. I was VERY nervous that he would either be sleepy, fussy, hungry, not like the photographer....or SOMETHING, but he was a dream. He even slept in my arms while I looked through all the proofs (for an hour)!

Connor and I are so happy to have dad back home now so we can celebrate 6 great weeks!

These are all so great. I burst out laughing at the feather one, though, even before I read your comment. What was the photographer thinking!?! :-P

Oh, Allison, he is SO adorable!!! I had that "one of these things is not like the other" song playing in my head at the feather picture...he is so a football guy, not a feathers guy! But cute photo, nonetheless! :) I LOVE Portrait Innovations. They totally suck you in with the $9.99 special and you walk out like a million dollars later...but SO worth it. All of those shots were so good!!! See you soon!

I can't believe he is 6 weeks!!!!! I love all the pictures...I see a lot of Brian and some of your Dad in him. Ella was so funny-- we were watching his video and she kept wanting to kiss him and tried to put a bow in his hair!! It was very cute. I can't wait to for them to meet. We are actually going to be in Macon October 18th-21st!!

I am so proud of you for almost losing all of your baby weight. I knew it would'nt take you long...nursing is so wonderful for that reason:-)

Oh yeah, and he totally has Brian's mouth in those pictures! It's so fascinating to see parts of yourself in another little person, isn't it?

miss you!

I love the pumpkins shots and your favortie...he is so adorable and your photographer did a wonderful job! (The feather shot is sweet...but 16 years from now I don't think he will appreciate that floating around in cyberspace!!) (What you need to do is save that for his wedding rehearsal dinner...and then pull that out for a good laugh!) he he he
