Harper Lily…My 1st Newborn Shoot

You may remember a few months back when I did a shoot for the Jost Family. The shoot included pictures of their sweet little boy, Dawson, some family shots, & some maternity shots of Amanda, the mommy.
Well, their new little bundle of joy has arrived & I had the opportunity to take pictures of her yesterday! This was my first newborn shoot and it was so much fun!! I had done some research online about taking pictures of newborns, but I didn’t totally know what I was doing…we just kind of made it up as we went along!
Despite all of that, I think we still managed to get some good shots!
What do you think?!
I mean, isn’t she the cutest…

I think she’s pretty sweet!!
I just felt horrible because I would get her all comfy & posed the way I wanted her, I would take a few shots, and then I would have to bother her to put her into a new pose!
Amanda said she slept really good after I left…I think I must have worn her out!! 
Poor baby!!
