Poppy has arrived!

I was thrilled to meet baby Poppy at just three days old.
Do you see the poppy flowers on the blanket? Joanna's mom made Poppy a crib set that included this very appropriateate quilt.


I love personalizing photo sessions by including things that have personal significance to the person in the portrait. Joanna made Poppy an adorable hat.... and when Poppy arrived it was laughable how little the hat was in comparison to Poppy's head (the girl was over 8lbs after all). So Joanna speedily made a bigger hat. Poppy was 3 days old during this shoot and her mom had already made her a new hat. That's impressive. That is knitting dedication, that's what that is.

Remember Poppy's brother from http://browneyedphotography.blogspot.com/2009/01/waiting-for-poppy.html? He took a break from playing with his cars to hold his baby sister (who looks exactly like him, by the way).

Thank you Joanna (and Ethan) so much for having me over to do Poppy's newborn pictures. Off to work on some birth announcements for Poppy.
