At 16 days old, Mr. P was quite a bit older than I like to photograph newborns… I was a bit worried about his session and if I’d be able to get him to sleep and keep him asleep to get all of those adorable newborn shots that everyone loves. When I arrived he was awake, alert with no sleep in sight. I was able to get quite a few shots with his eyes open since his eyes were a lot stronger than they would have been a week ago. He was definitely a challenge to get to sleep after that point.. I had to use every trick in the book but eventually he gave up.
I’m so glad I was able to capture this little (BIG) man… born at almost 11 pounds, he was my biggest newborn to date. I loved his smooshy cheeks and the fact that he already had some baby chub on him. He also had the softest skin I’ve seen on a baby this age… usually at this point they have really peely skin and baby acne. He was just perfect and gorgeous.
It was great meeting you all… I hope you get some sleep soon mama! Don’t hesitate to ask people for help, I’m sure all of your preggo friends would love to come over and cuddle that gorgeous man so you can take a shower and a nap!
