you've got to be kidding me...

another photo shoot
all because I refused to sleep through the first one
well guess what
?
you're gonna have to take me wide awake
again
because
even with your studio perfectly heated
for a naked baby like myself
and
that soft music playing on your ipod
I am not going to sleep and be molded into those cute baby poses that
other babies somehow figure out how to do
~
so there
~~
but
I can tell by the way you look at me and hold me and talk to me
and
don't even flinch when I spit up all over you or pee on the floor
that you totally love me
~
yep
I have your number
miss photographer lady
and
you are putty in my hands
*
oh
she is just the sweetest baby ever and I will take her and love her and hold
and photograph her anytime she wants to come over and play
**
oh
and
there's a few more photos over here

  11. What a nice job you have, photographing those sweet babies. Even if they are squalling, they are cute. That's why my job as a forensic nurse in a child sexual abuse agency was so difficult. For 21 years, I saw it but I still couldn't believe the things people did to children!

  15. LOL!!!!

    Oh the commentary was too darn good!

    You know...the sleeping baby photos are great - but I very much prefer photos like these.

    This little one might be a future model - she already knows how to work it in front of a camera!

    Great photos. :)

  19. Oh yes, well she just seems to know there is too much good stuff to sleep through. Why sleep now when there will be lots of time to sleep later? That's one smart cookie.

  33. I give you fair warning. My sweet husband who never gets mad at anybody is mad at you. He is. It's because I told him it was all your fault. What? you ask. That I want another baby.

    All. Your. Fault!
