Here we are with Grandma Sue, Grandpa Bob, and Nonna. Grandpa Chuckles is on TDY to Columbia, so we will have to come back with him to get a portrait done. As for the colour choices in this shot, it was not planned (believe it or not). The three women and Ronan all chose the same blue tones by accident and the orange that bob is wearing really compliments the blue, helping us not all look like smurfs. The photographer wanted to know if we wanted a different colour background, but really white is the best option. It puts the focus directly on the people in the photograph. When Ryan and I got our engagement shots done here, they used a neon yellow for one of the shots. If the colour choice wasn’t completly awful, she had us get into some really akqward pose. So after all the work of getting the shot right, we didn’t order the photo because the bright yellow was just too obnoxious. It really didn’t go with the dark and dramatic colour of our clothing choices. (You can see a little shot of the one we did choose, in a photo frame, in the picture a few posts below.)

Here is Ronan’s 3 month photo. The actual photo turned out a little dark, so luckily I was able to lighten it on the computer. Ronan was all smiles and giggles for this photo shoot. All the photographer had to do was look at him, and Ronan would burst out with a smile.Though in the photo shoot above, Ronan was a little cranky from waiting too long for our photo shoot to begin. He was letting tears run down his cheeks and we had to keep stopping to chear him up and dry away the tears. This photo here, is my favourite shot from the shoot. I chose for him to wear just his cloth diaper, so that you could really just focus on him and his charming personality. When Ryan got his wallet size photo in the mail of this photo, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He told me he asked himself if this was his son. Ronan has really grown so much since his daddy has left for BMT. I cannot wait to see Ryan’s face when he is reunited with his son at graduation.

These are the prints we got from Ronan’s one month photo shoot. They gave us this collage as a nice gift. So presenting, little baby Ronan Avi!

We got a huge print of this photo and I cannot wait to get a really nice frame to display it in. He just looks so little! I cannot believe how much my little baby has grown!

I loved this photo! It has that antique feel and boy does he look cute! This is pre-smile time, before Ronan knew how to smile.

Awww…Ronan is so cute! I cannot believe how much he has changed from this one month photo to his four month photos now. Here he is with his red newborn hair, a little neonatal acne, and such cute little newborn facial features!

This is Ryan’s favourite photo from the shoot! You can hear him shout, “Go Illini!”
