Newborn Photo Shoot

Hubby's dad got us an awesome gift to welcome Emma...a "Baby's First Year" package with a fantastic local photographer who specializes in baby photography. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in the D.C. area looking for a photographer - Virginia Payne Photography. The package includes a sitting as a newborn, and then at 4, 8 and 12 months.

Last week we went in for the newborn session and three-and-a-half hours later we emerged. Emma wasn't completely cooperative but what can you expect from a two week old? The photographer likes to take mostly asleep pictures of babies, and, of course, Emma was wide awake and alert almost the whole time. But I think she still captured some great pictures and we cannot wait until we get the link for the full gallery.

The photographer updated her blog yesterday with some pictures of Emma...I've put them below as well. I think she's pretty darn cute!
