Prince George: First official royal baby photos released

At last, royal-watchers get another look at the royal family's bundle of joy, Prince George, whom his father recently described as "a bit of a rascal."

Prince William and Kate Middleton just released two family snapshots, including their dogs Lupo and Tilly.

As expected, William and Kate took a casual approach to the shoot, forgoing the expensive professional photographers that have taken official portraits in previous years. This time, Kate's dad, Michael Middleton, was behind the camera.

The first photo shows William, Kate and George on the grass with Lupo and Tilly beside them. In the second image, William and Kate stand as Kate holds George.

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen to release two family photographs with their son, Prince George," Kensington Palace said in a statement.

The Palace added that Michael Middleton had taken the photos in the garden of his home in Bucklebury, England, where the couple has been living since they left London.
