While I love photographing newborns freshly born, there is something fun and different about photographing slightly older newborn babies too. Babies are often more alert and less moldable when they’re over 2-3 weeks old, but their eyes open can be a beautiful and amazing thing too. All stages of a baby’s first year are incredibly amazing but there is something unique and particularly beautiful about those first few weeks. This sweet and stunning girl reminded me exactly why I love slightly older newborns because she was simply perfect. Big wide eyes fixated on me for a while, but then she tired of me (ha!) and fell sweetly asleep for the rest of her session. Her dad was absolutely the sweetest with her and made me laugh as he gave her this cute horse gallop sound to get her to soothe, and mom was so beautiful and cuddly with her new baby girl. I loved photographing this gorgeous girl in all neutral colors and letting her newborn freshness shine through. Enjoy these sneak peeks of this beautiful newborn baby girl!
