Babies

Aren’t they sweet?  One of my favorite things is receiving baby announcements in the mail.  I usually display them on our fridge for at least a month (ok, maybe longer!).  Announcements are a great way to share images of your newborn with friends and family.  Oh how I wish we’d had our photographer do our announcements!  For starters, I would’ve had access to wonderful photos of my baby.  Shhh, don’t tell anyone that I didn’t have professional photos taken of our babies.  I think I just had major pregnancy brain (you pregos out there know what I mean!), and I didn’t think to schedule a newborn session in advance.  And we all know that our pregnancy brain turns into mommy brain as soon as the baby actually arrives, and mommy brain is WORST than prego brain!!!  You’d think I could’ve just taken my own pictures of them, right?  Right, because any time that I wasn’t feeding, burping, comforting or changing the baby (which was ALL the time), all I wanted to do was try and get decent, in focus pictures of them.  In reality, all I wanted to do was sleep!!  And when I wasn’t doing that, there was the minor issue of keeping my house clean and my husband fed.  Oh yeah, and attempting to losing my baby weight.  But I digress…

I did eventually send baby announcements out.  When the baby was, oh, 4 months old!  The moral of the story?  Book your newborn sessions while you are still pregnant!  That way you are guaranteed adorable baby pictures and you can have someone else (read: not YOU) do your announcements for you!  And if you’re really organized, have your addresses ready before you have that bundle of joy.  Then all you’ve have to after the baby arrives is decide which birth announcement design you want.

Speaking of…here are a few samples of some baby announcements I’m offering.  These are all designs that I would’ve used myself.  Obviously, all text will be personalized.  And if you’d prefer a different color scheme (say, to match your baby’s nursery), we can do that, too!

Feel free to pass this information along to any pregnant friends you may have!
