A couple of weeks back, I was telling you how I’d found an amazing photo prop in the depths of my attic.  I had found an old school baby stroller aka “pram,” aka (my favorite term) “baby buggy” that was likely used by my Grandmother as a little girl for her dolls.  It is elaborate.  When I think back on the cheap, small plastic play carriages I had!  I clearly couldn’t wait to put the baby buggy to good use as a photo prop.

Fast forward only a few days and enter photographer Korri Leigh Crowley and her adorable 6 month old son, Teddy.  As a photographer with a baby, Korri no doubt has already accrued hundreds of baby photos of Teddy in his short 6 months of life (most notably these photos, check ’em out!).  But sadly, she doesn’t have a ton of family photos of her and Teddy.  So she contacted me to fix her distinct ‘lack of photo’ situation. That’s what I would like to think of myself as – someone who fixes a situation in which there is a lack of good photography in your life!

I suppose my Grandmother was a little girl in the 1920’s, but for some reason I saw this carriage as channeling the (late 50’s early) 1960’s. So naturally, I asked Korri if she had any appropriate clothing and not so naturally, she did! She geared up in her high heeled saddle shoes, pill box hat and gloves, pearls, and gray wool skirt to create the look.

6 month old baby Teddy was dressed in the most adorable little suit complete with black velvet vest, and plaid flannel pants that are unfortunately hidden in these shots.

A few more shots: (L) Teddy being kissed on the head, (Middle) Mom the photographer using an old Polaroid Land Camera of mine that worked appropriately as a prop, and (R) Teddy kissing Mom on the hand (melt!).

Although the buggy shots were amazingly fun, we did manage to get some other baby portraits taken while in the studio.  Can you stand that face!? What a happy little baby boy.
