Edin's First Photo Shoot

Our camera bit the dust. What a dismal detection it was when the camera shop diagnosed it with several hundred dollars worth of damage. We're not going to repair it... mostly because we'd rather invest the money in an upgrade. I purchased the camera when I took my first photography class sophomore year of college... and it has grown to become part of our little family. Super cheesy, I know... but I am not ashamed at how attached I became to this camera!

The timing on our camera dying was really unfortunate. I mean really, right before our first child is born? Luckily we have some great friends with great talents that own great toys... like our friend Bri! Bri feels our pain and is so generous, kind, pretty (you're reading this right, Bri?) to lend us her Canon 30D. Here she is during our super gnarly tailgating fiesta at last year's Spain vs. U.S. soccer game.

The photo does not do justice to her weirdness or awesomeness.

Our friends are beautiful... once you get past the strange oddities that God endowed our circle of friends with (I am ending this sentence with a preposition... don't judge). 

Brett and I have been wanting to take some newborn photos of Edin so upon receiving the borrowed camera, we immediately went to work! However, the shoot was cut short (extremely short) by an unhappy baby. Here are some photos that Edin allowed us to take of him. He gave us about sixty seconds before he decided the photo shoot was over and the screaming began... we will try again!

I love his wrinkles.

And so it goes...

Hopefully the next photo shoot will last a little bit longer!
