This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with little Gabe and his Mom and Dad. I have to admit that when Gabe’s mom contacted me about doing a newborn session with her already 16 day old little one, I was slightly unsure of whether we would be able to get ALL the sleepy newborn shots that you see on my site (I typically shoot for newborn sessions to be done at 10 days and under as they generally are a little sleepier at that time). Well this little model totally surprised me and was by far my sleepiest newborn to date. He was awesome!
On top of that, I just had a fun time hanging out with this new family. It was great talking with Mom about being a new parent, the joys (and pains) of being a business owner (she owns a printing company), or just life in general, to absolutely cracking up at Dad who was dying to help out, but at the same time was melting from the combo of the 80 degree house that I ask parents to provide for newborn sessions and me running a space heater. I more then once caught him stepping out to the next room to stand in front of a fan - lol! These two were clearly smitten and head over heals in love with their new little man - I feel so privileged to be able to share in these special moments and capture this special time for them. I LOVE MY JOB! Thank you both and congratulations!
Love this mama-son moment!
