Our Princess, Our Family - Complete!











When Callia was 7 weeks old we decided to have professional pictures taken of her. For each of our kids we've tried to do home photo shoots - Ethan we weren't overly successful - Aiden we got some cute ones (digital, whoohoo!) and Christian we someone come in to take pics. and they were fine but not exactly what we were looking for. After seeing friends pics. we found what we were looking for. On the day of the pics. I was totally nervous b/c I didn't know if Callia would be happy or fussy and if she was fussy the pictures would be hard to get. Anyways, she wasn't fussy and everything turned out fabulous. The experience ended up being so great b/c of the photographer Rima - as soon as we got there the atmosphere was relaxing - soft music, temp. up high so Callia wouldn't mind being naked, the boys taken elsewhere until it was their turn and we wern't rushed. If Callia fussed then Rima would suggest puting in her soother and we would get all ready for the shot and whip the soother out and take the picture. There was no rushing - we just waited for her to relax. It was very relaxing when Callia decided to pee all over my foot!:) Then when the boys came in Rima turned down the temp and turned up the lights and had a few tricks to get the boys to work with her. We went back a week or so later and picked out the pics. that we liked the best - very hard. The above are a few that we bought from her but are the proofs so what we have is even better quality. We did get an amazing family pic. too. If anyone is looking for someone to take fanastic pics. of their newborn go to http://www.rdcapturedmemories.com/. I wish we could have had pictures of all the kids like these ones but oh well - she is our princess!:)
