Just look at this sweet little princess and her adoring older brother! When I do a newborn photo shoot, I generally like to have the baby sleeping for most of the shoot so I can get those dreamy, sleepy newborn photos. The parents of this adorable baby wanted her to be awake in most of the photos, so of course she slept beautifully! But we did manage to get some great awake shots, and even a squinty-eye-half-smile. The photo with the pacifier was actually intended as a test shot, but I really liked it – there’s something so real and raw about it…

 

 

This little baby boy was so sweet, and he slept through his session like a pro! As a newborn photographer in Cleveland, OH I often get to play with these tiny little ones, but truthfully they capture my heart every time! The little fingers and toes… the sweet sleepy smiles… the little eyelashes and rolls of chub…. pure bliss! Check out the darling smile he gave me in the second image below! And those images with the little teddy bear… I had to share them all!
