Why did we do this? A couple of days ago, I saw an ad on Craigslist for a free newborn photography session. A local photographer, who just moved here from California, was looking for brand new babies to photograph (and add to her portfolio, presumably). We thought that sounded like fun, and free is free, right? So we took him over to her house this morning. It was pretty neat to watch. She took all his clothes off (which he doesn't always like...), but he was so good! She kept the room pretty warm and had a little machine that made "uterus" noises to make Henry think he was in the womb. I have to say it worked pretty well- he was sleepy and relaxed for almost two hours while she worked! I almost fell asleep, too, but maybe that's just because I was tired. This lady has four kids of her own and made me wish that I had some sort of talent like hers that I could use to work from home. What a neat job!
To see more of the photographer's work, you can go to her website: http://www.ingridkaslik.com/ Someday Henry may be a part of her website, too! (edit: I just checked, and he already made it a couple of times... as of now, the second and third pics on the "Babies" album are Henry!)

These pictures are amazing! I'll have a newborn to volunteer in a few weeks - maybe she'll take us too! Can't wait to see you guys and your little guy!
Those are gorgeous!! Atchy, Henry is gorgeous and the photographer did a nice job capturing it. I'm jealous- wish i was that good :) and I definitely want to see the rest when you get them in :D
Beautiful, beautiful! Time does pass so quickly..enjoy every moment, even the "tough" ones. Matt, I remember exactly where I was when your Dad called me to tell me of your birth...and here you are with your own beautiful son! Congrats to you both! Love, Great Aunt Chris Panning Lakus
