Introducing Max!

In all his itty-bitty glory! Usually it takes a while to wait for a newborn to fall asleep during a session for a few of those angelic sleepy shots.. but Max wouldn't wake up! He came over out like a light, and a good half of the session was done with him dozed off. I can't complain, sleeping newborns always make for beautiful photography. Many parents are concerned about not seeing their baby's eyes when they're this young and tiny, but I think it'd be a shame to miss capturing this time in a baby's life over a detail that will change in time, anyway. I think newborn photography is about capturing the most precious and tiniest time in a baby's life, as well as capturing bonds that are so new and so charged with emotion.

I loved my session with Max and his parents. You know that sleep you get on a lazy Sunday, and you wake up and the stretch is just as delicious as the sleep itself? Newborns look like they get this sleep every time they go down... it's so beautiful.
