Its amazing to me how newborn babies can sleep through anything!  When we are doing newborn photography, a big part of it is being able to get them to sleep so we can pose them and fire the studio lights without them waking up.

Some babies will fight it a bit so have to spend time feeding them and then rocking them until they go into a deep sleep.  Others have a quick feed and are almost instantly back into a deep sleep!  Either way, once they are in that nice deep sleep, we can make noise, fire the lights, pose them, etc and NOTHING wakes them up!

I love the look of this portrait…the dark background, the contrast with the round platter and the lines in his blanket and the fact that he looks so content sleeping there. Enjoy!

This little guy was only 6 days old when he came for his New Arrivals session.  I love everything about this portrait…the texture of the basket, the contrast of the black and white and most of all, his adorable smile!

Enjoy!
