After a very long day of setting up for Madylin's birthday party yesterday I also wanted to get her 1 Year Photo Shoot done because I knew come Sunday I was going to be exhausted. The only official professional pictures that I have of Madylin are from the hospital and also from when we took Madylin to get a photo shoot done with her cousins. Every other picture and "photo shoot" has been done by me. Photography has become a real hobby of mine! As you can tell from this blog I take A LOT of pictures!! Madylin is so easy to photograph. She is such a happy baby and cooperates with all the many photo shoots I have put her through. After all, what other mother does an all day garden photo shoot (3 months) or stick her naked baby in a gutted pumpkin (Halloween photo shoot)? I have thoroughly enjoyed thinking of all these themes/ideas and it has become a real hobby of mine. I still don't know how to fully use the awesome camera that I was lucky enough to buy or cannot always get the lighting right but I love taking pictures. If you've been to our condo you know our walls are FULL of pictures. Madylin has a whole photo album for every month of her life. I don't have the time to scrapbook like I used to anymore which I am sad about but thanks to my cousin Sam I have discovered Shutterfly and well, I'm addicted! It is not the same as scrapbooking but it very close. I still do a little scrapbooking here and there for Mady's baby book but until I have more time Shutterfly fulfills my scrapbooking desire!
These poses from her 1 year photo shoot are a combination of my ideas and ones Auntie Hannah saw and liked. Auntie Hannah is also my secret weapon to capturing these adorable faces! It is very hard to take the pictures AND get Madylin to laugh so now I plan Mady's photo shoots around Auntie Hannah because I need her to get those smiles and giggles out!
