the kell family & baby

My friend Lois just recently added her 4th beautiful child to her family and I was so happy she asked me to come and photograph him. We had planned a delivery room shoot and it was all cleared and set with the doctor and the hospital, but a week before her delivery a film crew was in the hospital filming a delivery where something went awry and photographers were no longer welcome. We were both SO bummed, but at least I still got to meet him when he was less than 2 weeks old, in all his toasty new deliciousness.

Don’t know why I love this one, but I do. He liked my Justin Beiber story, but is just like his dad & grandpa and does NOT like the camera. But it sure does like him!His belly button fell off moments after this shot. Eye contact like this from a less than 2 week old? Yes, please.What a beauty!Don’t you love his new glasses?It was more than a little chilly out, but they were all brave!Nighty night.
