Alex, 4 months Old

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:32:32 +0000

I have two sets of four month “portraits.” On Saturday, we dressed Alex up in his little Christmas outfit – for what was likely the last time ever. Since no one can rock the argyle/plaid combo like Alex, I grabbed the camera for some quick pics. It was almost dark out, and our house lighting was less than ideal (and we were already running late), so I knew the “formal” four month pics would have to wait. We managed to squeeze in his real four month pics Sunday afternoon. I know there are so many photos, too many photos, but its just so HARD to narrow them down! The range of faces Alex makes, the way he shows excitement, the big gummy smile… I just want to share everything with everyone. To my little man: I love you more than words can express, and I am constantly amazed at how I love you more each and every day.

First, the real portraits! Raise your hand if you are excited:

But Alex decided after a few that he was really more excited about his toy.

Daddy got behind me and made funny faces and noises… Alex liked:
But of course, at the end (like all true models), he ended up playing it cool!

Alex, 3 months old

I’m trying my best not to overload our blog with pictures of Alex, but it’s just SO HARD sometimes! I’m usually terrible about taking personal photos – I always forget our little point and shoot when we go to family gatherings and special events, and when I remember it, it seems the battery is always dead! And forget actually taking pictures of people: when Brandon and I went through our pictures of Bora Bora, we had like 2 million of the water, and 5 with either of us in it (and two of those were of me passed out drooling on a table in Tahiti while waiting for our connection… they will never ever ever be seen). At the same time, I LOVE looking at pictures of myself as a baby. So, i’ve made a point of bringing out the “real” camera for every month “birthday.” It’s so amazing how babies grow so quickly (sometimes you can see the difference in just a few days), so I also try and snap a few pictures “just because” every week. I’ll eventually get around to posting Alex’s one month and two month portraits, but for now, here are a couple from his three month portrait session (as well as a few others I snapped last week).

And then I had to tell him that the Chargers weren’t actually playing in the Superbowl, which was clearly devastating:

Luckily, he had some happier times in the tub later on:

Introducing Our Newest Family Member – San Diego Wedding Photographer

So, most of my clients, past and present, know about this already. But, nothing is official until it’s announced on the internet, right?

With that, I introduce (drumroll please)… Alexander James!

Our little guy was born on November 4 at 1:09 p.m., weighing in at a slight 6 lbs 12.5 ounces, and measuring 19.5″ long. Alex was born on his due date… just like I was. I think this means he’s destined to a life of constantly being late (just like mommy!)

I don’t know that I can say he is entirely responsible, but he certainly attributed to the drop off in blog postings over the last year! Being pregnant is exhausting, and shooting weddings (including one 2 1/2 weeks before my due date!) on top of that was incredibly challenging. Blogging fell by the wayside. Life has only gotten more hectic since Alex was born, but i’ve made blogging a new priority. Lets see how long it lasts!

From this day forward he will be known as “Squishy-Face”
