Houston

This handsome little one is Mr. Houston. He is long awaited and much prayed for. In fact, I was one of the people who prayed for him, and that made that shoot extra special for me. :)

I think he may be a tiny bit adored.



He was pretty alert and curious for a brand new person!





Isn't he lovely?













Here's a before-and-after of how we got a shot of Houston in some awesome baskets his dad made. Safety should always be the first consideration with a shot like this, and there should always be one adult whose sole purpose is to spot the baby. Additionally Houston was tucked/swaddled into the basket in such a way that he wasn't going to be able to move much even if he did start wiggling. (The bump on his head is a bruise from birth. They are relatively common and photoshop away easily enough.)






I like how he looks like a little forest baby all tucked up in the fur!
