Madison hasn’t spent much time in the studio since she was a newborn…for two reasons:
1. I don’t want to burn her out and make her hate the camera.
2. I find this age to be the hardest to photograph. Wobbly heads are cute, but not easy to work with.
Most of the photos you have seen of her lately have been taken in her nursery. It gets great light, but the walls are pink, so they cause color balance issues. So I’ve been wanting to get her back in the studio. I’ve had a few shots in mind all week that I wanted to try with her, so I took her out this evening for a very quick session. She did great!
She looks a little bit like me and a lot like Brian in this one…
Can you believe how big she has gotten? We make fun of her chub rolls on a daily basis. She is wearing the same outfits that Abbey wore at six months! So now I’m wondering….is Madison a really big baby or was Abbey just a really tiny one? Both, I think. I’d better quit talking so much about her chubbiness. I wouldn’t want to give the girl a complex!
I LOVE this next one. However, I swear her ears do not normally stick out like that! The headband is pushing them out. It kind of makes her look like a little elf or something, but I absolutely love the innocent little expression on her face and the pudgy arms.

I tried my best to get a smile out of her for this one, but she was all worn out by this point. She went from tutu, to pj’s, to zonked out in bed all within five minutes of capturing this image. Seriously.
