I usually photograph newborns when they are between 5-7 days old, this little cutie is already a 1-month old, so I had to warn the mom that sleepy shots were less likely to happen. But I totally lucked out, this baby was perfect, and gave me a small window to get the sleepy shots in. I just love the outcome.
And the 2 year old was amazing as well, she was so excited to have her photos taken, got to love that! I really enjoyed interacting with her, she was really good to me.
Enjoy the sneak peek!
