Newborn Photos

My friend Sarah, who took my maternity photos, captured some adorable newborn photos of little Ella when she was 8 days old. This was definitely not the typical sleepy newborn shoot. Ella was awake and squirmy almost the entire time, so some of the shots we had in mind didn't work out.

But even with a wiggly baby, Sarah caught some great moments! I'm gonna be honest though at 8 days post birth I still felt like crap, was going on no sleep, and didn't really fit into my old clothes yet but I refused to wear maternity clothes for the shoot! So I don't necessarily love how I look in the pictures, BUT I am still so happy we caught this newborn time in photos! Especially since Ella has already grown and changed so much since these were taken. My favorites might be the pictures of Kyle and his little girl--so sweet, I love them!!

Here's some of the beautiful pictures:
