He’s only eight pounds, but baby R’s newborn session was the most physically demanding session I’ve had yet. It started off with some redecorating. Actually all the furniture in his living room was moved to the kitchen to set up my studio. It was quite a feat, but we got a nice little setup for R and he settled right to sleep.
Big brother was so interested to watch his new baby brother and was kind enough to point out to me that he needed some clothes. Perhaps I should have listened because during a pose with Mom, baby R had quite an impressive stream of pee that arced all the way to the edge of the room. Then he exploded on Dad’s nice shirt, but he kept most of my blankets clean which was a welcome surprise.
Then after I restored their living room I got home to discover I had bruised my knees and the tops of my feet from kneeling on the floor. I didn’t feel a thing during the session, but now I match my own boys who are all roughed up from being…well boys!
Bruises, heavy lifting, it’s all worth it for this…
