I don’t do infant photography that often. Or rather, this was the youngest baby I’ve ever taken pictures of (unless you count the maternity shoot with a baby so young it wasn’t born yet). Anyway, you know what, taking photos of babies is hard.  They cry, can’t be reasoned with, or bribed with toys (though Baby C’s three year old brother would only be bribed so far).

After a lot of crying and wetting of pants (and the baby wasn’t much better), she finally settled down to a fairly moderate cry / look cute / cry / look cuter / cry cycle.  Her mom was fantastic, doing her best to be efficient while still keeping the baby and her three year old amused.

This is a neat one that I’m glad I got, baby, son, and mother, all in one.
