When did yoiu take your little one to get their first pics? I'm thinking I want to take Grace this coming weekend when she turns 4 weeks but keep thinking now how can I schedule this so she won't be needing to eat. I'm so funny when it comes to taking her out & about still. We ahve only been to the doc office so far partly due to me recovering.

I have never been big on taking my babies to get their picture done at a professional place. At least not after doing it a few times and enduring meltdowns and pictures with red noses & eyes. ;) lol

What I do instead is to take a picture at each month of age and then keep them in a little personal sized photo album. So each of my children has a "picture book" of photos at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. all the way up to 24 months old. It's so much fun to lay them all out and compare who looked like what at, say, 4 months old! (Which is what we did the other day with Abel's book and everybody elses'). :)

A lot of professional photographers (assuming you're not talking about taking her to a mall photo place) schedule extra time for newborns so that you've got time for feeding and changing breaks.

I take Breanna at Christmas time and on her Birthday, so it comes out being every 6 months. (The Christmas ones are el-cheapo's, don't think I'm made of money or anything..LOL!) The first time I took her was her first Christmas, so she was right under 6 months old and did very well! I don't know how a 4-week-old would react, I was barely ready to get out in public at that point! =P
