My first grandbaby, a beautiful girl weighing 7 lb., 7 oz, made her arrival in time for Christmas. This is the first clothing she has ever worn too :) She was just over 12 hours old when this image was taken.

I experienced the joy and frustration of newborn photography yesterday.

It also helps to soothe a fidgety baby; as you can see she is quite serene !
