the details

By

As a new mom, the days and nights tend to blend together into a constant flow of diapers, feedings and laundry. I am one month into the job and am realizing that taking care of a newborn is a much bigger task than one can ever prepare for, but the bright spots are also much brighter than I could have hoped for. I am learning how important it is to capture the details of my baby boy during these days where my memory seems a little foggy. I don’t want to forget the tiny toes, soft skin and perfect lips of my little one because he already seems to be growing so fast.

I’m enjoying every tiny part and piece of my little guy these days. What kind of details are you focused on in your life?

  1. That's so precious. What a beautiful picture. That little face just asks to receive little kisses on the cheeks 🙂

  4. Very cute picture it is. The Baby looks so sweet. Thanks for providing us this nice pic of the baby. This time is really very hard but after seeing the child all the tiredness will gone easily.

  5. Awww! He's BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations! In my experience, it got a lot easier after six weeks. (Order The Happiest Baby on the Block via Netflex!)

    I'm focusing on all the lovely changes and milestones as my little guy leaves the baby stage and moves steadily towards Big Boy. On a recent vacation, all I had was a point-and-shoot camera, but the last photo in the bunch held some magic…

  8. I know I've shared these photos here before, but my blog post is so similar to what you've said today. My daughter just turned one, so these photos were taken a little more than a year ago and I was feeling much like are. Even though we were tired and everything was chaotic, I felt like I had to stop and take photos of her little fingers, toes, and folds. Congratulations on your newborn!

  11. What a beautiful baby photo! I regret that I knew nothing about cameras or photography when my four year old was a baby. I can only hope that one day I'll have another one to take pictures of. Regardless, it's never too late to capture details 🙂

    I also love to capture details in nature:

  17. What a precious picture! I wish I had been a better photographer when my babies were so small! Enjoy him – they grow up so fast!

  23. Oh such a sweet image and you've captured the details perfectly. It looks like babies are an on-going theme with everyone's response. But, my kids are almost grown. So, I don't have a great baby image to share. But, I will share an image I photographed not too long ago. These are some buttons that belonged to my grandmother. For some reason in her sewing box where there were lots of other buttons, she had these tied together. As if saving them for a special purpose. I love the detail of the string holding the buttons together.

    Just a little something that belonged to someone I love and miss dearly.
