Introducing Marli Marie! Marli is my friends, Sheila and Rob's little princess. She was born on February 20th. The kids and I took a road trip over to meet her this past weekend. Of course, I HAD to bring my camera to take some pictures of the little bundle. Once I started shooting, I showed Sheila a few of the images and she told me to go nuts because she needed some photos for a photo announcement...so here they are!
Of course, I am not sure which pictures she is planning on using yet, but these are the ones that are my favorites.
I haven't had any time to do any editing so these are straight out of the camera.
Not too shabby, huh!?!
This is Nate, Sheila and Rob's 2 1/2 year old son. Aren't those eyes to die for!?! He is such a sweet little boy.
And there are my two little hoodlums corrupting poor little Nate!
Look at how tiny those feet are! Couldn't you just eat them right up?
I am so used to thinking Audrey is the baby and now that I see her compared to this little baby my thoughts are really put into perspective. I was just thinking today how much I am going to miss her being my baby. She is at that in between stage right now but I know once she turns 2 there is no denying she is no longer a baby :(
I really wish I would have had my DSLR camera when both of my children were babies. Every day would have been a photo shoot at our house!
Can't go back and change time, so I guess I will have to make up for it by taking MANY pictures of my friends little dumplin's!
I better get to bed...it is going to be a long week. Hopefully I will sleep as peacefully as little Marli is sleeping here...

Actually, they all played quite well together after a little 'warming up' time!
Check out the look on Nate's face. I am guessing he isn't quite as used to a crazy lady sticking a big lens right in his face as my kiddos are! Grant didn't even notice I was taking pictures. He was much more interested in whatever was on the boob-tube (sorry....not sure where that came from! That is what my parents used to call TV when I was little! Kinda weird, huh?!)
And don't forget about lil' miss stink-bomb-stink-butt! Isn't she turning into quite the little ham!
Okay, back to the baby. Ahhh...so cute. I stuck Tootie' bow into Marli's hair since she wouldn't keep it in her own hair.

I really went crazy shooting in black and white. I just love how some of these pictures turned out!
Mid-way through the "shoot" Little Miss Marli started getting a little squirly.

This was the only minor fuss I saw the entire time we were there. She just had a little burp...
...and back to snoozin'! Doesn't she look just like a little angel?

sweet dreams...
Carrie, I think you should reconsider your profession...you are fabulous at taking pictures! I am very impressed. I'm thinking of booking your for our next family photo shoot! Hey, I have a brilliant idea. Maybe we should open a business together...you do the photography, and I do the graphic design! Albany/Avon need something like this, don't you think?! It is fun to dream about. :)
