For my inaugural blog post, I would like to share some of my favorite images from recent baby sessions with you, my loyal readers (I’m fairly certain you are loyal readers, you just don’t know it yet). Over the past few months, I have had the honor of photographing quite a few ADORABLE babies in the Austin area. One thing you will notice about the photos is that 80% of these aforementioned adorable babies are boys. Is it just a coincidence that 10 of the 12 new babies in my circle of friends are male? It seemed a little fishy to me, so I did some research and learned that the ratio of male to female births in the US is actually 1.05 to 1. (In other words, for every 100 female births, there are approximately 105 males births.) I know it’s true, because the CIA says so. What do you think? Have you seen an upswing in male births lately? Any hypotheses as to why?
Regardless of this oddity, I am thrilled by the opportunity to photograph so many beautiful babies and I can’t wait to meet the newest members of the boys’ club. (Our friends, Brendan & Elizabeth just had TWIN BOYS, Luke & Miles!)
And now on to the photos…
First is Colton, who was about seven months old in these photos. He was born 1 week after our wedding, so I will always be able to keep track of his birthday. (Major props to Colton’s mom who attended our wedding while nine months pregnant.) He is such a charmer!
Next is Jack, who I photographed when he was about two weeks old. He has grown up so much since then and I can’t wait to take his six-month photos in April! (P.S. Jack also “attended” our wedding a few months before he was born.)
Now, for Georgia… The lone girl in a sea of boys. Isn’t she gorgeous?!? You may recognize Georgia as the front page star of adriennehuebner.com.
Next, is William (c/o Vanessa). Although he was still in utero here, he is now a very handsome three month old, who I plan to photograph very soon! (Shout out to Vanessa and Brandon, William’s very photogenic parents!) Oh man, I just realized that he was also “in attendance” at our wedding… If all of our friends were pregnant, why was our bar bill so high?
Finally, we have Ryan, who turned one month old yesterday. (This brings up a question that has been burning a hole in my mind for quite some time. What exactly is “one month” when it comes to a baby’s age? Is it 30 days? 4 weeks? Or, does February 23rd to March 23rd count as a full month? If you know the answer, please share!) Anyway, I photographed Ryan and his parents on Sunday, and he could not have been more easygoing. He was content to be photographed for almost an hour and a half. What a trooper!
That’s it for today. Stay tuned for more photographs and randomness.
xoxo,
Adrienne
