Joaquin.........

Some of you might remember the maternity session (with the belly casting) I did back in September.......  http://www.lot116.com/blog.php?id=315

Well Danny and Giselle welcomed their son Joaquin into the world this past Friday (11/14). At just 4 days old, Joaquin was ready for his first photo shoot, and did spectacular.  He is such a beautiful and mellow baby. Over the past few days i've been cursing the weather...but not today! For those who aren't in San Diego, it's been hot and dry with Santa Ana winds. The winds have died down, but the heat is still around, so it was PERFECT to take a newborn outdoors for a shoot. It was plenty warm even in the shade and Joaquin was a happy camper. Oh and I have been counting down the days to test out this gorgeous cocoon that a wonderful Etsy seller sent me (in trade of a few photos for her site). It's been at my house for almost 2 months now, and I have been dying to use it. Today I finally did and I am in loooooove (and so were D & G). 

Don't worry, he was yawning, not crying.....

I'll leave you with a little smile :)
