What a treat it was to photograph this sweet 10 day old baby boy.  His big "brother" Gunner greeted me at the door and stayed by my side through most of the session.  I think he wanted to keep an eye on this strange lady who was photographing his little brother.  Ethan was definitely used to having him around as he never startled when Gunner would bark.  Me, on the other hand, jumped every time.  :-)

We started our session with some family photos by the window.  Gunner did a great job striking a pose for the camera.  Ethan took a small break to fill his belly and then we continued with some more snuggle shots.  Ethan was ready to snooze with his little belly full.  A nice warm house and a full belly were a perfect combination for a peaceful newborn portrait session.  

He snuggled right on in the bean bag like it was a big comfy recliner on a rainy day.  I switched hats, posed hands, played with his feet without even a flinch from him.  Gunner even snuck in a few snifs and kisses.  He was out and let me pose him without any resistance.  I love when babies are this relaxed.  It makes for such peaceful photographs that will forever be treasured memories.  Mama also got to enjoy her complimentary 60 minute massage that came with her newborn session.

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."
