I never realized how much fun newborn photography was until I had my little girl.  I also never realized how challenging  it was either!  Newborn sessions take about twice as long as other portrait sessions, usually between 2-3 hours.  It is best to plan your baby’s session within the first 12 days of their life.  That is when the little one tends to sleep the most and has the flexibility to be positioned into tight curled poses.  It is also important to feed the tiny bean right before the session in hopes that your newborn will fall into a deep sleep.  However, no matter how much you prep for a session, some newborns have a different agenda.  That is when we just have to go with the flow!

Below are some of my favorites pictures from a recent newborn session.  I just love the fairy tutu custom!!
