My sister, Margaret, has recently taken a more active role in developing her photography skills. When she took my belly pictures, she mentioned if I was thinking about baby pictures, it was best to take them in the first couple weeks, so baby is more likely to sleep and be content to just lay still while taking pictures. So... this is what we tried to do. Although Carl wasn't completely content during the shoot, she still managed to get a bunch of good shots. Jon even walked over to our neighbors house to ask if we could borrow his wonderfully landscaped lawn as a backdrop for a few pictures, and he was excited it could be used in such a way. Brianna was napping for the first portion, but once she woke up she was excited to be included and get her picture taken too. She did almost everything we asked her to!
Without much more ado... here are pictures of our newest addition and our new family!
Was three - now Four!
Such a wonderful big sister.
More than willing to hold hands!
One of my favorites.
One of his namesakes.
The trunk, in addition to being a great photo element/prop, is also Jon's Grandpa's from his time in the army. You can see his rank and name on the top, and we thought it would be fun to relate the two since it is (partly) where Carl gets his name. We are so excited about how the pictures turned out and are happy to have such wonderful memories captured for his baby book!
