Hmm. Well, I have obviously fallen off the "post a picture every day" wagon. It is already February 7, and I have yet to post my photos from Feb 3, 4, 5, or 6! I'm not going to give up, though. I will try to make up lost days, but no promises. I have my sanity still, but only barely. And I have an idea of why this particular assignment tripped me up a bit. The prompt is THEN AND NOW. So, since everyone is asking, and the time seems right, I wanted to post pictures of my darling little Annie on the day she was born (just over three weeks ago) and pictures of her now. The thing is, I sort of have this BLOCK when it comes to taking pictures of adorable babies. Let's face it, I'm not that great of a photographer. I'm only moderately better than my 4 year old when it comes to photography! Annie is
adorable. I mean really darling. My pictures don't even begin to do her justice. I feel like I'm being kind of mean to her if I post her pictures, because you will never know just how amazing she is by looking at my photos! So, I'm going to swallow my pride a bit, and hope that Annie forgives me for posting less-than-amazing photos of her, because I want to avoid falling into the trap of not taking any pictures at all. . . (which I may or may not have done with my other kids!)
So, here is Annie, only minutes after her birth. 8 pounds, 7 ounces! Big girl! =)
And here she is today, almost 4 weeks old. She and I had some fun taking pictures this morning, and I even got a few smiles!
And now, I will show some more photos from this morning, because I think she is the cutest thing ever!!
And because I am a glutton for punishment, I will post professional pics too. I love these shots! Bella Baby Photography showed up in my hospital room and spent a few minutes taking pictures of Annie a couple of days after she was born. Easiest photo sitting ever for me! I just sat in my bed and watched. And I didn't have to agonize for weeks about what Annie would wear or how I wanted the pictures to look. There is definitely something to be said about spontaneity!
My favorite is last!

She is darling. And such a Clark baby! She doesn't look like a newborn in the professional shots - and her little mouth is so cute!
Just keep taking lots and lots of shots of her. LOTS. The only way to get good shots of babies is quantity.
Seriously a pretty pretty baby. I love her darling name and the polka dotted bow makes me heart pitter patter. I am glad you shared this little detail with us!!!
Pictures are worth a million dollars to me when we're go far away. She is GORGEOUS and I miss her and you all so much!
Ahhhh, she is a sweetie!!! Beautiful!
Hey, I'm sure you already know how to do this but I can't help giving you a blog hint . . . . do your posts a hunk at a time (when you have the time!) Have a bunch in the queue and schedule them to post daily. It'll make your goal attainable . . . . .
She's beautiful!
She is adorable. I love the yawning one as well.
Valerie, you're doing better than I am. I think I got behind on day 3, but I'm not giving up either. I just need to go forward from the day that I'm on. I haven't blogged about any of them yet!
Love, love all the darling pics of little Annie! She is such a doll! What fun to be able to take so many photos of her all day! My kids are getting tired of me shooting them all the time... I need more models. :)
She is so beautiful!!! You have such great pictures of her. I cannot wait to meet her!!!
Precious family Cannon and Valerie. It is so fun to see your blog. It is so wonderful to see such a happy family! We hope to see you more often when our move is complete! Love to you all!
Aunt Bets
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAL!
