I was so honored to be able to photograph this handsome little baby boy last month.  J was a week old and as ready as ever for his big debut photo shoot.  I did not realize how much I adored photographing newborns until our session together.  He was an absolute dream, he slept, never cried, and smiled softly at my camera more than once.

He had the softest, sweetest baby skin with the teeniest little rolls on his back.  I completely miss this newborn stage with my own son and always look forward to photographing babies.

Proud mom and dad were so excited for his shoot, but really, why wouldn’t they be with a baby as adorable as theirs.  Newborn babies are truly a gift and it literally makes my month when I get to hang out with a new family like this.  The first few weeks of a baby’s life are so fleeting, so special, and they really do grow up so fast.  It is so important to get your cameras out and take as many photos and videos of the new little person while they are still so tiny.  Sigh.

This is my favorite shot of the day.  I love how HAPPY everyone looks.
