<\/p>\nI believe newborn photos are best taken within the first ten days of a baby\u2019s arrival.\u00a0 Not only do they cooperate a little better, but the reality is they don\u2019t stay small forever.\u00a0 (As much as you\u2019d like them to)\u00a0 In my experience, I noticed a huge change within the first month \u2013 they are completely different looking babies.\u00a0 Photography is an EXCELLENT way to preserve these memories, and also document your kids as they grow (and unfortunately KEEP growing).\u00a0 Most of my newborn clients know how I LOVE to capture a new babies little fingers and toes.\u00a0 But another way I have discovered is by doing hand and feet prints.\u00a0 Whether you want to get out some finger paints or clay; it\u2019s a fun way to keep track of how much they have grown, or how big they are at a certain age.<\/p>\n
Now this by no means a professional art quality piece of work; but it was definitely\u00a0a fun project\u00a0to do.\u00a0 Now I have this awesome little keepsake!\u00a0 I did the first little hand print with my son when he was 3 years old.\u00a0 Just your standard kit from Michaels<\/a>; nothing too fancy.\u00a0 Although I do admit, I didn\u2019t really follow all of the instructions.\u00a0 I decided to create my own look rather than the one they showed on the box.\u00a0 And now 5 years later I got the same little kit and did a matching hand print of my daughter at age 3.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s so neat to see how small they were at that age and compare the two.\u00a0 I can tell that my son has got my hands, and my daughter – definitely my hubby\u2019s.\u00a0 But what\u2019s interesting to me is how their fingers are in the EXACT same position.\u00a0 With their index and middle fingers closer together, and then the pinkie way off doing something else.\u00a0 Interesting, hey?\u00a0 Well, these are my little people\u2019s little hands.\u00a0 Aren\u2019t they so cute??\u00a0 <\/p>\n
