Princess ZARA!!!! Finally!!!!

The day I have been waiting for excitedly for almost 2 months now, ZARA has finally been born and delivered to my camera! 🙂  Here she is 5 days old…which is perfect for some newborn action.  She is one tiny, perfect little creature.

There are two things I know quite well about Zara.  One:  She doesn’t like being naked.  Two:  She HATES things on her head (as shown below). hahahahaha

Considering Stacey and Josh’s style…I saw this big cup, had the hat already, and thought together it would make a sort of “Alice & Wonderland” type of image.  🙂  Makes me want to go to Disney World and ride in the tea cups.

And the beautiful family all together.  Anyone who’s seen the “Wedding” and/or “Fun In The Dress” galleries on the website might recognize this couple.  Stacey was the “Dumpster Diving” Bride!!!  Yes…it seems like only yesterday we were at the West Bottoms and tossing her in a dumpster for some pictures. hahahahaha 

Zara’s name means Princess…and I had recently seen a pic of her nursery on Facebook and it was “Princess” themed…so the night before the session (I wish my mind would think these things up faster and give me ample time to prepare), I came up with a cute idea that would be just perfect for a unique Zara portrait. I woke up early, was out the door to go shopping for a few items, and discovered that many stores do not open until 10am on weekday mornings.  I don’t think I’ve ever tried to shop that early, so I had no idea.  Good thing Hobby Lobby is up early and had everything I needed.  🙂

Love the combo of the pacifier and dress, don’t you?  These pictures were taken right after the completion of our fabulous concept series…which I haven’t finished editing yet…but I just wanted to get these up and posted to show off Zara right away.  More coolness to come!
