  • I had the same thought ST. I think I'm spoiled however. So many of my friends and family are photographers that their home photos look professionally done which ironically they are.

    moonlight you can tell they're well versed in posing for the camera. lol I knew something like this was coming with a personal family touch but I thought it would be more intimate like a candid photo inside the living room with the family fawning over the newborn.

    • Ooh, I wonder if that hand knitted shawl is also hand spun...Yup, sure enough! Margaret Stove designed it, another New Zealander spun and knitted it. But unlike the shawl that Stove designed custom for Prince William with New Zealand motifs, this was pretty generic and was a published pattern.

      I am going to be rude and say she doesn't look super natural holding him. I'm afraid that George is being raised by a team of nurses and nannies...it was foreshadowed when William admitted outside the hospital that the kid was a day old already and that was the first time the parents had actually held him.

        This is quite possible, but it also looks like she has her elbow crooked up so that there is a better view of the baby. A lot of times when you try to take pictures with a baby you end up in an awkward position in order for the baby to be seen. In both pictures she is leaning in to prince William so that the baby is angled up. But thats just my assumption...

          • Totally agree on the lighting but I'm glad to hear it's a family photo and not a pro photographer. Nice to see them outside and enjoying the fresh air! She looks gorgeous as usual and I agree that sometimes newborn photos are awkward - I honestly felt really awkward during parts of our newborn shoot when she'd ask me to do unnatural poses that were unlike how you'd actually hold a baby.

              • As far as being raised by a team of nurses - they said she and George have moved back to their original apartment where William is stationed. I doubt its big enough for a team of nurses

                        • I hate to say it, but it is just lucky genetics. I am blessed with a flat stomach and no stretch marks despite two kids. However, I very much have junk i the trunk...

                          • Probably more work and less food than I'm willing to deal with.

                            Better question--how the hell is she jumping in those shoes?

                              She's wearing wedges. I could do it. Even my converse have wedges.

                              • I have no idea on the wedges. But I was smaller 90 days out than pre-pregnancy. I know I'm a lucky bitch. I actually lost too much weight breast feeding. It's genetics, my mom was the same way. As soon as I stopped BFing, I gained 5 lbs, literally within a week.

                                I'm so jealous of her butt and long legs though. I would kill for those...I have stupid runty legs.
