Ryan's First Portraits (6 1/2 months)

I promised myself that I would be better about capturing some newborn/early babyhood pictures of Ryan since all of Ethan's complications delayed his first "professional" photos until he was 6 months old. Well, time has flown, and once again I did not have real photos taken of Ryan until he's almost 6 1/2 months old. I'm disappointed that since both boys were in the NICU for 12 days, we were not able to utilize the professional photographer at the hospital either time and do not have any great newborn photos of Ethan or Ryan.
Overall I was pretty pleased with Portrait Innovations for Ryan, but I hate that you have to make quick on the spot decisions regarding which poses you want to purchase. I bought enough sheets of photos to qualify for the low resolution CD of the images, and as I've been looking through them again, I wish I would have made some different decisions regarding which poses I selected. Anyhow, here is a sampling of Ryan's photos (don't worry, we didn't purchase all of these and spend a fortune!)

My absolute favorite pose!

Chillin' in the bathtub

I bought this one in black and white, and it turned out to be really cute. For everyone who knows how germophobic I am, this was a blanket that I brought from home, otherwise I would not have let him put it in his mouth. ;)

I wish I would have bought this pose

He's a very expressive little guy

I was surprised that he could sit up in a chair this well
