A drool-worthy baby kit

Nina already blogged about our Little Bubbles Baby Set, but I thought I would share my experience photographing it on my 3 month old yesterday because it is so entertaining. We needed a modeled picture of the pinks set for banner ads, and the sample was knit in the 0-6 month size, so it was Alice's big break into modeling. The sweater and hat fit her perfectly (the booties were a tad too small for her long feet), so I figured that the photos would be a piece of cake, assuming she didn't spit up on the sweater. Wrong!

For every photo I took like this...

...I took nine like this...

...or this...

...or this:

Of course, from a parental perspective all of these are adorable, but the majority of them don't show off the sweater well! At 3 months old, Alice lives what I call a "hand to mouth existence", if you know what I mean. I now have so much more respect for baby photographers--keeping the sweater out of her mouth was a real workout!

And just in case you're wondering, I did wash the sweater before returning the sample to work. I threw it in the washer and dryer with the rest of my baby laundry and it came out good as new. Gotta love Comfy!

Comment by Melissa on May 19, 2009 at 2:34pm: I think it's because the colors are named "blackberry" and "pomegranate"!

Comment by Kerin on May 19, 2009 at 2:18pm: four out of five babies agree - Comfy is a delicious yarn! The fifth must've been sleeping. ;-)

So cute! Welcome to the modeling world, little miss Alice!
