Typically I do my newborn sessions when a baby is one to two weeks old.  Like my last post – she was seven days.  The reason for that is that after two weeks, the babies tend to wake up more and not curl as well.  Sessions are often longer and more difficult for this reason.  But I still take sessions even when the baby is more than two weeks old!!  This little guy from Sunday was close to three weeks when we did his session.  Unfortunately his mommy was turned down by another photographer for his age.  Their loss – my gain!!  Look at this little cutie!!  I mean, sure, it was more difficult.  He woke up more and was less settled and less easy to bend and pose.  But he still did great!!  🙂  So for the photographers out there, don’t be afraid of babies over two weeks!!!

Now that I have that off of my chest 🙂  Baby R was such a little love!!  He did calm down and sleep for me two different times and even when he was awake he was pretty relaxed once he had a nice full belly and when he wasn’t perfectly calm, I was able to capture wonderful mommy interaction photos.   LOVE.  As you can see, we had a great time.  I might have to add “newborns with dogs” to my offerings.  Their two dogs did great just like baby R.!!  Though granted, I am sure it was more dad’s hand signals and knowing they were going to get a treat but I prefer to think it was me.  Hahaha!

Thanks for having me out, K and M!!  It was SO great to meet you and your little guy.  Enjoy!!
