Oh my! Where have I been? I'm finally settling down after a busy holiday season. I will share my last session of the season (although not of the year... I do have a couple newborns scheduled next week!).

Wrapped.

I fell in love right there... as soon as I took that first picture of Carrie's little Lily snugly wrapped in a soft cream gauze. From her sweet little face peeking out of the gauze at the top to the soft impression of her tiny toes pressed against the material at the bottom. In my eyes, it was a perfect combination. That was nearly two years ago. Since then, I have evolved my wraps to include two babies and also tried out different wrapping materials and techniques! I have always loved the look of a swaddled newborn, so cozy in the blanket, but I always found blankets to be too bulky, distracting the viewer from the true subject of the picture. After wrapping many babies, there are several techniques and materials that I have found to work best when wrapping the little ones. Check back on the blog soon for some exciting news :)
