Well, I guess if I had a superhero name it would be something like Linktastic or Postalot or something like that. These baby posts have taken me forever! And I could have actually just done this as one single baby post because so many of the items in both posts are interchangeable between boys and girls, but I chose to split them because so many parents think that the accessories are reserved for girls only. Not at all true! So I feel the need to show the vast plethora (do I sound smart using that word? I feel pretty smart right now) of completely cute and completely boy accessories that are out there! And the right accessory could be all your baby needs for a stunning portrait. Because, remember, I like baby skin and I like to see alot of it.
I can’t believe I left the leg warmers out of last weeks post! I love them on boys and girls, big and small. Just imagine a 6 month old sitting in natural window light wearing nothing but a pair of striped leg warmers? Tell me you wouldn’t fall in love!
Or a newborn baby boy wearing that knitted bear ears hat and sleeping soundly in the window sill…
or a 9 month old wearing that striped gnome hat, a white onesie, and playing with one of those brightly colored pull toys.
And I think a couple of these onesies were made for a custom Birth Announcement — I could totally see a new mom and dad in solid white shirts and blue jeans holding their baby in that Made with Love onesie gracing the front of their custom card.
Can you tell I could go on all day…
So, the moral of the story is to focus on the details. Yes, we still photograph alot of the standards — and I don’t dislike them either. Swear. Grandparents especially, they love the pink and the blue outfits and we like it too, but make sure to add a little kick to each session too. Things that show your families personality and your babies cute quirks. After all, that’s the cuteness you want to remember 16 years down the road when you are looking for any signs of that former sweet baby, lol!
