First photos of Blue Ivy Carter released

– She’s been a sensation since she’s been born, and now Blue Ivy has made her public debut.

Five photos of the 1-month-old were posted by her parents – Beyoncé and Jay-Z – on a page at the blogging service Tumblr.

The pictures at http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=JG&Date=20120214&Category=ENT10&ArtNo=214009998&Ref=PH include a close-up of the baby and two of each parent holding her.

A statement next to the photos reads, “We welcome you to share our joy.” The couple thanked the public for respecting their privacy.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the latest celebrities to shun big bucks from the tabloid press for exclusive rights to baby pictures and instead post the photos on a public website for free. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon debuted their twins in the same way last year.
