“We love his hair!  Here’s a brush for you to use to make it all spiky and fun!”  And that was the moment I knew I would love them.  Actually, that’s kind of a lie.  I knew I would love them the moment I got the first very excited, very enthusiastic email.   Generally you can tell a lot from the tone of an email.  And I could tell right from the first contact that Franklin and his moms were very excited for photos.  (Okay, probably not Franklin since he was only 11 days old but you get my meaning.)  So after discussing a few different dates since their little guy was already here, I packed up and headed up into Massachusetts for his newborn session this past Wednesday.  He was an absolute doll to photograph weighing in just under ten pounds with awesome hair (two babies in a row!) and a great sleeper.  Even though both A & M said they wanted it to be more about the baby than them, they did jump in a few photos with their little guy.  AND as a result I got what is, to date, one of my top three favorite photos EVER – though I am not sure they even knew I was shooting. And that is what makes it so good – that raw, honest emotion and tenderness.  ::melt::  So, meet Franklin!Beautiful newborn portrait in Rhode IslandEyelash newborn shotNewborn baby boy on blue blanketBeautiful lesbian family newborn imageBlack and white newborn image in Massachusetts
