Matt and Munawar’s Baby Shower

December 18th, 2009

Last weekend I was asked to photograph a baby shower.  Mind you, I don’t recall if I had ever been to a baby shower prior to this.  I vaguely remember attending one for a babysitter when I was maybe 5 years old.  It’s clearly been awhile.

At any rate, although I am not a baby person, I couldn’t help my heart turning to mush when all the tiny clothing and accessories came out of the packages.  Matt and Munawar’s friends are very thoughtful and bought them the sweetest things to prepare for their plus 1.

On another note, their gut renovated Chelsea apartment was a treat in itself.  Matt is a fabulous architect and their home proved that well.  Simply stunning.
