(What if my baby doesn’t sleep?)
While newborns are generally very sleepy for the first two weeks, each has his/her own sweet rhythm. I photograph sleepy babies out like little logs, awake babies who don’t wanna miss a thing, and stretching, yawning in-betweens.
I want you to know that your newborn session will unfold naturally, led by your newborn. I pay careful attention to her cues, specific position preferences, and perfect, unique features. I am not working from a checklist of poses because that’s not why you’ve commissioned me. I’m here to document the dimple on his right shoulder just like his mama’s, the way he feels nestled in your arms, those tiny, triangle toenails, the way she sleeps curled as she did in the womb, his deep-blue inquisitive eyes at just 7 days old. This is your story, her story, his story. And when moments turn to days, months, and years, my goal is to return you to these very first pages, the incredible beginning.
Rest assured that the success of your newborn session does not hinge on getting your baby to sleep so that we can accomplish a set of poses.
Because he is not a pose that can be duplicated.
Because he is not the background.
Because he is exquisite,
Simply because he is.
