remember that in-house photo shoot?

 

If you remember back to November… you might recall a photo I posted here of Baby M from an in-house photo shoot. Well, the reason I didn’t post more photos from that day is because it was all part of a bigger plan: a 2011 Baby M Calendar!

Now you’d think I’d take the easy road and just use pictures from the past year to create a calendar? Oh heck no! I’d make it crazy difficult and actually stage a photo shoot in our house using our console table and a white IKEA bed sheet with 12 DIFFERENT outfits for Baby M to wear. And I’d do it all on one day… a day where Mr. M was away so it was just me and the baby. Oh yeah…

Now what drove me to do such a thing? Well, those amazing people at Minted.com came up with some really cute calendar designs, and I just knew it was the perfect gift for Grandparents and Great-Grandparents alike! And I had gotten quite a few too many wonderful outfits from the Gymboree sample sale (thank you thank you thank you Jade!) so I figured this was the perfect way to immortalize the cute and pretend to be a stylist for a day.

So do you want to see the rest of the photos? Ah ok… here you go!

There you have it!

And just to relieve you all… I will not be going into any sort of job as a toddler/baby photographer’s assistant any time soon. My arms and abs killed so much after laying on my stomach and then crawling to pick up a baby escaping the camera frame.  And I dare you to guess which month’s photos were taken right before naps? :)

    Oh my gosh! These pictures are so great! You did a marvelous job and what a wonderful gift. Is this going to become an annual tradition?

  • Tamara

    So, so so cute. You’re an amazing photographer. The ones with Memphis are maybe the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m going to guess the nap was after either March or November. : ] Happy new year to you and Mr. M and baby M!

    I am in love with February though! LOVE her outfit!
