It’s not too late!

Photographing newborns is such a blessing and it NEVER gets old posing and capturing their sweet first days. It’s true, ‘newborns’ are only little for such a short time, and the more days they spend in the world and away from the womb the more they adjust to spreading out! It is for this reason that newborn photographers like to photograph baby as soon as possible (ideally between 5-14 days new) after their arrival because they are much more comfortable being posed in those super squishy adorable poses! However, life happens and sometime weeks can go by before I see baby for their newborn session! There are SO many reasons…..sometimes babies need to spend a little extra time in the hospital, or mamma has had a rough few weeks or (this has actually happened!) your original newborn photographer didn’t do a good job! Often times though, parents think that it is TOO LATE to get newborn pictures, but that is not the case!!

Photographing ‘older newborns’ is absolutely adorable! They are becoming more curious and alert and often I will get lots of eye contact and adorable expressions! Typically they prefer to be wrapped up and this is perfect for capturing all their sweet little details. I still love posing baby with their families, as well as posing them in props to capture how small they still are! If I’m lucky, they usually finally wear themselves out and fall into a deep sleep long enough (their sleep cycles are shorter!) for me to capture some images with them unwrapped!!

Here’s a look at some of the pictures from a recent session with a 7-week old, perfect baby boy!! He was a dream!
