The Channonballs: 3 1/2 Month Family Session

Two of my biggest regrets are 1) not getting pictures done while I was pregnant and 2) not doing a newborn session for Alyssa. I adore all the newborn pictures that you can find when searching online. When they are that little, it's easy to manipulate them into all these cute little positions. One of my friends recently had twin girls and she had their pictures done and that's when I was kicking myself for not setting one up for Alyssa. What's done is done and I can't turn back the time so I just have to move forward. That's when I went on a crazy search for a newborn / family photographer. And one was recommended by Park's cousin Jackie (HI!) and I'm so glad I asked. We met up with Angelina with Asterisk Photography. Our meeting was more like hanging out with a friend. After chatting for about two hours, we decided on a day. Angelina was going on vacation the week Alyssa turned 3 months so our session was to take place when she was 3 1/2 months.

The day of the shoot, the weather was sunny and bright but half way through, it started storming! Park and I were really concerned about how the picture were going to turn out. We know taking pictures in natural light is best, and our house is filled with great natural light. When that storm hit, our house became dark. Now looking back, I don't even know why we bothered with the worry. The pictures turned out GREAT!!! You can't even tell that it was dark! Some of the moments Angelina caught on camera will be cherished forever!

Here are some of my favorites!
