newborn pictures part 2

When Diana asked me if I would be able to do a newborn shoot for her baby I was totally honest with her. I told her if she was looking for really posed pictures with adorable set ups, I'm not really the girl for the job. But, if she was looking for more lifestyle newborn pictures, I would love to do them. Lucky for me, she wanted a lifestyle shoot! 

Newborn shoots can easily take 3 hours, and I usually feel totally out of my element. The lifestyle newborn shoot is much, much quicker and it felt like a good fit for me. We literally had a white sheet on the bed in a bedroom with a nice window. So simple, yet I love them so, so much!

As promised, here are the digital pictures from the newborn shoot I did last week. 

newborn pictures on film

My Grandma knows I like to shoot film and she had a bunch of old film that she had never used. She offered it to me and of course I was ecstatic! The film is pretty expired and it's not professional grade, but that didn't stop me from using it. I decided to take a roll with me to my newborn shoot. I warned Diana, the mommy, they might not turn out. Sure they aren't perfect, but they are perfectly imperfect, and I think that's what I like most about them. 

No worries, I did shoot lots of digital images and I will post those next!

Lately we are smitten with this warm weather, Carter's sunglasses, and dressing our little girl in oversized clothes! The jacket she is wearing is way too big for her, but I think she looks adorable in it and I'm not even sure why.

project life: 8 & 9

Here we go...project life week 8 and week 9. I am going to have to combine my week 10 and 11 since I am a little bit behind. I keep thinking I need to apologize about my terrible picture quality on many of my pictures that I use for my project life pages. After all, my website does say Heather Bybee Photography. Here is the deal, I don't always care about the quality of my pictures. I just care that I have the memory to hold onto. Whether it's your iphone, a point and shoot, a fancy dslr, or even your crapy "regular" phone camera...don't let everyday moments pass you by. These are the moments we are most likely to forget. Take pictures, and enjoy documenting your life!

P.S. I realize we have really ugly furniture and a can roller in our living room. They don't make for the prettiest pictures. But we are saving up for law school this fall and some things we just have to make do with.   Sorry if it's an eye sore.
