Oh, how sweet those new little babies are! They are so tiny, so sweet smelling, so precious. I love photographing newborns. I don’t get very many for some reason, so it is a real treat when I do!
I photographed this little angel’s big brother starting when he was exactly this age. Ten days old! I know, when you have a ten day old newborn, probably the LAST thing you are thinking (if you can even think straight at all!), is “let’s have someone over to the house for photographs!”. However, the absolute BEST age to photograph newborns is between the day they get home from the hospital (I have yet to have one of those! LOL!) and two weeks old. The newborns that I do get, usually are between 7-10 days old. The reason I want to get them early, is that time period, they are still very sleepy (so they will put up with me moving them and posing them around in the adorable poses!) and their newborn acne hasn’t set in yet! Once you get past that first 2 weeks, they are much harder to get those “newborn looks”, even though they are still obviously newborns! So, if you are pregnant, (or know someone who is) and you know you are going to want photos of your new baby, you will want to contact me ASAP. Don’t wait until after the baby is here, because honestly, you won’t be thinking straight afterwards! Call me before hand, and let me know your due date, and we will pencil in a date for you.
On to the little angel’s sneak peeks!
Her big brother had this same photo taken, and mom is anxious to hang them side by side to see the similarities/differences between the two. So, I thought that she would want one of these for her sneak peek! LOL!
All bundled in a blanket that her grandma made special for her!
They had these great pillows in their house. I think she looks like a cabbage patch doll! LOL!
And do you think she was ready to be done with her photos?!
