This is Kieran, and like most all newborns, he operates on his own schedule. From what I understand, he kept his parents waiting when he was trying to be conceived, he kept his Mom waiting several days past his due date (despite being predicted to arrive several weeks early), and he certainly kept a certain photographer waiting for him to fall asleep both in the studio and then later outside, when we decided that might be the best place for him to sleep to be photographed. Never wanting to be left out, Mother Nature got in on the “waiting” action when we scheduled the outdoor segment last week, and rain ruined our plans and pushed our session to this week.

Still in all, I will certainly attest to the wait being worth it (and from his parents’ obvious smitteness, I’d say they think the wait was worth it, too.)

Congratulations Michele & Chris! All of my best to you guys, and many thanks again for your patience. xox

For most modern-style newborn photographers, we usually encourage parents to get their babies to us, uh, maybe on the way home from the hospital? (I kid, kinda. ;) It’s during these first few days of life that newborns are still curled in the fetal position and spend most of their time being in a very deep sleep, which allows me to manipulate and pose them in all of the adorable positions that represent my work.

So when Olivia’s parents called to ask me to photograph her and then told me that she’d be nearly 6 weeks old when we met (which is like a collecting-Social-Security newborn for a photographer!), I must admit that in the back of my mind, I was unsure if the session would work out or would take on the characteristics of a newborn session–in other words, if she’d still fall into sleep deep enough that I could pose her without disturbing her since older newborns typically do disturb and wake a little easier than “fresh” newborns.

To my pleasant surprise, Olivia was just as easy as 6-day-old. And better able to focus on the camera, so we got some amazing eye contact, to boot.

Thank you so much for such a fun day yesterday, Lisa & Matt! Congratulations again, and enjoy!

I must admit, there’s nothing quite like a baby with a full head of hair to make my heart skip a few beats. My daughter had a crazy head of hair when she was first born (still does), and while I hate making a big deal out “all of that hair!” (since I am sure that his parents will hear this more than anything else all throughout his babyhood), I must admit that it seemed almost a shame to put the cute bear hat on him, hiding his gorgeous locks.

Congrats again, Melissa & John on your gorgeous son!
