Harder than I thought...

So all those cutesie newborn shots you see? I definitely learned the hard way they are harder than they look. You must deal with uncooperative flailing limbs, wobbly heads, always hungry tummies, and little crying mouths. (probably not in all cases...but Jericho proved to take after his siblings in that he did everything possible to give me a run for my money.


I think all things considered, and the fact that I think he's reeediculously cute no matter what reeediculous face he is making, I think the few shots I ended up getting before he decided a lunch break was necessary turned out ok.


The awesome outfit was a shower gift from one of my best pals. I think its one of the cutest things pretty much ever. I only wish I'd had something like this for all the kiddos. The other two didn't get quite the newborn photo shoot since I wasn't quite as shutter happy. They are probably secretly thanking Jericho for taking the lens off of them for a few minutes.


The next to last shot is for Sweet Shot, Communal Global, and Capturing Beauty.

my friend specializes in newborn portraits and she says the thing that helps the most to get baby asleep and stay asleep is for MOM not to touch the baby during the whole session. Once baby is in mom's arms, they smell milk :) Also, using a space heater helps!

Newborn shots are tough - you can never predict how they'll turn out but you did great with him.
