This lil' man and his mama and daddy came to see me when he was just 10 days new.  He was such a sweet little guy and did perfect for his first photo shoot.  We started off the session by picking out hats, blankets, and baskets.  There is no denying he is his mama's boy.

That full head of hair was just too adorable.  It didn't matter what pose I put him in, he just was so content.

I have never had a baby stay awake for his entire newborn portrait session, but this little guy wanted to keep an eye on me the entire time.  Every time I thought he was falling asleep, he would trick me and open his eyes right before I released the shutter.  I caught a few shots of him with his eyes closed, but he was only fooling me.  So cute!

Is this not the cutest little lion you've ever seen?

Of course, the last few images he decided to fall asleep.  Pure sweetness!

Normally newborn sessions are done within the first 6-10 days, but I got to meet this little man when he was 38 days old.  He was the perfect little model for his "newborn" session.  He slept like a chance which helped his mama enjoyed her complimentary massage during his session.  Mama relaxed in the other room while he rocked it in the studio as daddy enjoyed watching his little man show off his awesome modeling skills.  

We started our session picking out accessories such as hats and blankets.  Since he was wide awake in the beginning we started with some sweet bonding pictures with mama and daddy.  There is something sweet about capturing these special moments with a new little family.  They sure are a beautiful family.

After striking a pose in front of the camera as a family, it was time for little Christian to shine in the spotlight.  He had a full belly and a clean diaper which was a perfect concoction for a sleepy baby.  He made my job so easy and just confirmed how much I LOVE my job.  He slept like a champ and let me pose him however I wanted.  My expectations were blown out of the water as I never imagined he would do so well at this age.  Now I can just sit back and ooh and ahh over his sweet pictures.  

Hear what his parents had to say, "Leah did a fantastic job on our newborn, his pictures came out beautiful! I couldnt be happier! I would most definitely reccommend her as the experience was wonderful."
