I was so thrilled to photograph this beautiful little girl at the ripe ol’ age of 4 days!  She was so sleepy and happy doing whatever…it made for a VERY relaxed newborn session for all   Mom was so on the ball and called me prior to going into the hospital and as soon as baby was born!  Newborn photographers dream, I tell ya!!  Why is under 10 days so important?  Well, babies are still a little mixed up in their sleep, so they *usually* sleep more; they don’t mind all the moving around because they are still happy to curl up and sleep; and they haven’t hit that first growth spurt.  It’s not essential to a newborn session by any means, but if you would like to try for the type of images I’m posting below, I would strongly recommend it!

I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I LOVED taking them….look at those lips…she’s killin’ me! 

Oh!  And big brother was one of my portfolio building clients!  He’s so big now and HILARIOUS!

Take care,
