New Orleans A to Z

In honor of Miller's one month birthday, we had some professional photographs taken of the little guy.  This is not something we would typically do as we are usually low maintenance about such things, including "photo sessions" of us passing big milestones.  However, when we found Twirl Photography about six months ago, we knew we had to go with it!  Jennifer Zdon, owner of Twirl, takes incredibly natural and beautiful photographs.  Not alot of baby costumes or awkward family photo-type poses. 


Non-professional one month old pic of Miller.  I plan to take his monthly pics in the womb chair.
This picture cracks me up...he is "sitting" and looking sort of Hugh Hefner/Don Draper to me! 

Jennifer Zdon came to our home and was truly the most patient photographer ever...she stayed with us for two and a half hours, waiting calmly while someone cried and fell back asleep, then ate, then woke up, then got changed, then took one photo, then cried, then fell asleep.  You get the idea, no?

One of the reasons we chose Twirl is because we love Jennifer's book New Orleans A to Z, often having bought it for gifts for friends children and, of course, enjoying Miller's copy ourselves.  Have you checked it out before? 

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do so.  It is beautifully photographed. 

You can preview the book here

I will post some of Miller's pics when we receive them from Jennifer.  We are waiting on pins and needles to see them.  If you are interested in Twirl Photography, check out her site which has a link to her great blog, too!  

Cheers,

JSH
