My First Newborn

Newborn photography is something that has intimidated me for quite some time. In fact, newborns alone intimidate me. Including little Bryson, the only other newborn I think I’ve even held was my nephew. I don’t know, I think I’m afraid of dropping them.

However, I looked forward to this session for about eight months! I posted some of Bri’s maternity images awhile ago (click here to see those). Little Bryson did not disappoint. He is absolutely beautiful and I’m sure has already grown a ton!

It would figure that he had been sleeping tons, up until his big photo shoot. He must have been excited! We did luckily get a few sleepy shots.

Congrats again Bri and Paul!

I Love Photography

I’m sure you’re thinking, “Well duh!” But, really I have a job that allows me to give people something that they can hold onto forever. Moments, minutes, hours, days, months, they fly by. Photographs give you just enough to hold onto to really take you back. These images are of one of my absolute best friends in the world. She will never be pregnant with this little boy again, but I was given the chance to freeze one evening that she was. I can give her these to hold onto, when he is our age I’m sure that they will put a smile on her face.

This is Bri. This picture is exactly what comes to mind when I think of Bri. I have laughed more times than I can remember with Bri and it will never get old!

It could have something to do with my subject, but this is one of my all time favorite images that I have done.

Is it hardly fair that at almost nine months pregnant Bri can still wear her pre-pregnancy jeans? I sometimes have a hard time after a big meal, much less a little boy.

One of Bri’s requested shots, with a little of my flavor!

Thank you so much Bri for letting me take these pictures. I absolutely can’t wait to meet him. Oh and if you could keep him in until I’m in Colorado, that would be great! Ha, only joking!

Oh, and a proud moment for me. I usually really stink at the measuring game at baby showers. Well, I was really close on this one, closer than Brooke anyway! ;)

I miss you girls tons!

The Perfect Fall Day… Well Almost

Nancy and I had been working on getting a date set since I did pictures of her nephew Ethan back in April and we finally had the perfect Octber day. We had been worried about the weather, but when I pulled up a couple hours early (I always like to scout out where I’m shooting) to Cherry Creek State Park it was beautiful! I’m talking no wind, 70 degrees, perfect cloud cover, and on top of that the changing Colorado trees. Really, does it get better than that?

We ended up kicking off the family shoot about an hour earlier than we had planned, and boy did that end up being a good thing! I had all of these great locations scouted out and we had hit a couple of them when out of nowhere the wind kicked up like crazy and it started spitting on us. This wind wasn’t a nice breeze that we could work with, so we had to call the shoot. Of course we got some great shots first, but how couldn’t you with three beautiful girls and a mom and dad that weren’t too bad either! We’ll just have to save the lake and beach shots for next time.

See what I mean about the perfect day and colors?

It cracked me up how different all three of the girls’ personalities were. Their jumping shot shows it perfectly!

However, I think that this one just shows it a little bit better. Funny how their individuality comes through without even seeing their faces.

By this time it had started to cool down and we knew that our time was limited.

So, instead of running to the next spot, why not skip?!

I’m quite positive that they were probably fighting to keep their eyes open between the wind and rain at this point, but they held strong and you couldn’t even tell!

Thanks again Steve, Nancy, and girls, I had a great time and thanks for putting up with my lame jokes! :)

Tomorrow pictures of a new 4 year old!

My Next Trip Back

I’m coming back in October and am already booked up for the 4th and 5th, but will be taking as many sessions as I can fit in. I’m needing to book my tickets by this weekend and am pretty open on days. So, shoot me an email at anna@annalynchmcclary.com if you’re interested in a session during this trip. Outside of the Christmas mini sessions this just might be the last chance to get a full session before Christmas. Right now I’m leaning towards coming back September 30th to October 7th, but am still completely flexible on that. Knowing CO this is probably the last shot for the year to get images without snow (at least I would think so).

Also, if you want to look over a pricelist before settling on a session, let me know and I’ll shoot one over. I have a few different packages to make everyone happy, or if you’d rather build it all up on your own, you can do that too.

Have a great week!
