I’ve mentioned my friend Amanda before, when I took photos of her belly as she was hosting baby girl number two. Girl done gone and got knocked up with baby girl number three and since she was so kind to be my guinea pig for my foray into belly shoots, I asked if she would let me try come over and shoot Miss Brinley (baby number three) and try my hand at a newborn shoot.

She let me do it, because she loves me. Have I mentioned that I have the best friends on the planet?

When I arrived, Brinley was cuddling on the couch with her big sister Avelyn. From what I hear (and witnessed), Avelyn demands a lot of Brinley time. It’s adorable to watch.

Little Miss Brinley decided to wake up, but I kind of loved catching her expressions.

She soon got sleepy, as newborns are wont to do.

We got some sweet photos of baby and Momma.

Isn’t Amanda the prettiest? Yes, she is.

SMOOSH.

Thanks to Amanda for (being so stunning and making such beautiful babies, and) letting me try my hand at newborn photography.
