Oh how I’m a sucker for those baby blues. I don’t know how his mama could ever say no to him with eyes like those!

A newborn.
There really is nothing quite like it.
Just a few more images from the amazing Baby as Art workshop I attended last month.
I just love a newborn baby.
She was technically my last shoot of the year and the very first baby to sleep through an entire session. I typically plan for two to three setups during a newborn session, but with this little snoozer we were able to go from one pose to the next with not so much as a peep. And I’ve never been able to use a new prop so quickly–usually I buy it and sit on it for weeks until the perfect session comes along. But last week when I stumbled across this gorgeous wooden bucket I hoped and hoped that my upcoming newborn session would be with a good sleeper so we would be able to capture some great images using it. Mission accomplished.
I adore her. Simple as that.
This weekend was a first for me. Little {J} was officially the first newborn to stay awake throughout his entire session. For three and a half hours we pulled out every trick in the book–the space heater, the noise machine, multiple feedings, snuggling, and cuddling, but he was just too excited for his first photoshoot. But there was also another first during our session. {J} has to be the first baby to not make so much as a peep. And with the fact that he was awake the whole time just goes to show what a happy, content baby he is. He was such an absolute doll throughout the whole thing and once we realized that he just really wanted to be awake, we went with it.
And I’m glad we did because we got lots of adorable, wide-eyed awake images. It’s usually really difficult to get eye contact with a newborn, but {J} was amazing and kept looking directly at the camera, which made my job so easy. And I just love how expressive his eyes are in these pictures.
