One of my favorite aspects of photographing newborns is being able to capture those fleeting moments that are sometimes gone within just a few short weeks. Babies grow SO fast, so I always encourage my clients to bring their babies in within the first 10 days of life because baby is still very sleepy (most often anyway), they still love to be curled up as they were in the womb, they have not yet learned to flail their arms and legs around, and they haven’t quite figured out what to do with their head. When they settle into their precious newborn poses, I go to work documenting those miraculous little “baby bits” that make us all go “awwwww”. Those fingers…those toes…those sweet little lips…they all tell a story. They are the little details that we spent hours exploring as we rock them, feed them, and sing them to sleep.
