Valarie Decker Photography

Blair broke me in for newborns. The only one I had done before was Allie, and since I had her 24/7, it was pretty easy to catch her when she was in a good mood for photographing. Blair decided in our first session, that he was going to be awake, and be held by his mommy, then entire time (3 hours). I got a couple shots, and gave up. We decided to try again a few days later, and had much better results. Blair has a story, and I’m trying to help his parents illustrate it. Here are my faves, and as always, full session is on facebook and flickr.

So, I was going to take a picture of Austin’s eye today, but then he woke up from his nap, looking like this.

So that’s a no go. I got Allie’s eye instead.

I wish I could sleep this good anywhere.

We got the cat about 6 weeks before Allie was born. Austin was so excited the day we got her, pee ran down his leg while we were at the animal shelter. She was very weak at first and seemed so fragile. I was so worried Austin was going to hurt her unintentionally. She plumped up quick and now can hold her own against him. Here they are playing.
