A Little Obnoxious, But Still Comfortable
"When my parents first passed me on to the photographer, I thought she was so nice. She was continually commenting on how tiny and adorable I was (I mean, I'm 11 days old, of course I'm cute and tiny!), and I felt so safe in her lap. Then she started to take my onesie off... I initially didn't like it because her hands were kind of cold. But then she wrapped me up in this really soft blanket, and I was so comfortable. It felt like the place I'd been in the last 9 months, and I couldn't help but fall fast asleep.
I got a little annoyed from time to time because she'd always adjust my face and my fingers (I like to keep them where I put them!) but I finally just let it go and let her do what she wanted. I was comfortable, anyway. Until I got hungry, but she right away picked up what I was throwing down and handed me back to my mom for some yummy milk!
All in all, the experience wasn't that bad. I was warm, and I felt safe. I mostly was just a little cheesed off that she wouldn't let me just keep my phalanges and legs where I wanted to put them. But she was really gentle, and never actually forced me to be in any position I didn't want to be in."
I Was In The Spotlight!
"Of course, being the new baby of the house I'm definitely the new one in charge. But, it only confirmed the entire situation since my arrival 8 days ago, since my parents scheduled my debut photo session with Hocus Focus Photography. I was definitely the star of the show!
My photographer was great at capturing my good side. She knew all the tricks in getting that light just right. She made me look fantastic! Even my parents look great in their photos, considering the fact I've been keeping them on night shift since I showed up.
Some of the poses felt kind of weird, but I felt perfectly safe the entire time and all I needed to do with give a little yell if something wasn't up to my liking. My photographer was super chill and let me run the show. I am the boss, after all.
My parents loved all of my photos (duh). It was pretty fun. The room was so warm the entire time, and I had an endless supply of milk and soothers. So, minus the weird poses from time to time (I don't entirely understand why I was placed in a bucket, but whatever. It was warm.) it wasn't so bad. I'd do it again. Maybe."
A Once In A Lifetime Experience
"Just last week, the first week of my life to be exact, I experienced a whole bunch of 'first experiences' that I apparently will experience for the rest of my life, like hiccups, puking, breathing, weight gain, etc. I mean, just this week I got back to my birth weight already and I'm really starting to notice some rolls coming in. But whatever, I'm getting off track.
I had my very first photography session with Hocus Focus Photography. Mom said she wanted to really 'capture the moment' while I'm really small; apparently, I won't stay this way for long, so we got in the car and arrived at the studio. It was so toasty warm, and I heard the photographer's voice welcoming us (she was really excited) and we were brought into a room full of so many things that I have no idea what they were. But there was lots of it. I think I used the word "props"? Whatever that means.
Some things went on my head. Some blankets were different colours and I pooped all over them but the photographer lady didn't seem to mind at all. I didn't think she would, she had tons of spares. She kept calling me things like "cute little potato" and "adorable little froggy", which are apparently the names of some poses she made me do during my session. Initially, they felt really weird and I wasn't used to it, but she assured me it was okay and once I relaxed a bit it actually wasn't really too bad.
There were beautiful white noise sounds that reminded me of my first home, and it was so warm. She even let me have a 1-hour lunch break so I got to fill my belly really full for a super good nap - I'd need it to keep Mom up all night that night! I don't remember what happened from the time I had lunch to the time they put me back in the car seat, but apparently, I was a rock star baby and we got a ton of great photos!"
They Made Me Do It
"Honestly, I was not having it that day. Had it been up to me, I'd prefer not to be there. My tummy was sore and I hadn't taken a good dump in hours. I was cranky, and all I wanted to do was suck on a soother and be left alone.
This photographer girl tried a few tricks on me to help me feel better, which did help a bit. I had a good, grown-man belch and I was able to relax a little more. But it still felt weird to be in a bucket, then a box, and then completely naked altogether. I don't know what it was all about.
There was a light that would flash from time to time, which was a little obnoxious. It didn't hurt my eyes but it would sometimes startle me, but the photographer always had a hand on me to make sure I never fell over. I could tell she cared, even though she was driving me nuts. Oh, but she did help me finally poop; it was a good one, too! I hope that stain comes out...
I yelled at her a couple of times, but she didn't seem to take any offence to it. But, I'll give her credit. Once I really had enough and asked to be done, she agreed and let me go back to my parents for a familiar snuggle, some milk, and a ride back home.
At the end of the day, she did get some great pictures of me. My arms are too short and my coordination sucks to be able to get a good selfie of myself, and these photos were really great compared to the iPhone ones I see. I like those, too, but these photos seemed extra special. So, I wouldn't do it again, but I'm glad that I got to experience it at least once.
Wait.. what? A cake smash? Next year? What's that?"
