I always schedule newborn shoots ahead of time, about a week after the due date. I was watching little Genevieve’s mom’s facebook page to see when she would arrive. Genevieve decided she wanted to wait a few days after her due date to make her big arrival. I wasn’t sure if we would be able to make the scheduled Monday shoot but I got a text from Ann, Genevieve’s mom, on Saturday letting me know she was born that morning and to see if we were still on for Monday. I was super excited, as Genevieve is the youngest newborn I’ve met at a little over 48 hours! She was born at 6:16 AM Saturday July 31st, weighing 10 lbs. 2 ounces and already with a full head of hair!
When I got there she was sleeping, her entire shoot… she was sleeping and when I left… she was kind of sleeping but wanting a snack! This makes it so much easier! Newborn photos are usually better when they are asleep. If you have children, you know they make some funky faces when they are awake and just getting used to being here… and the camera captures them all. When they are sleeping, they look like little angels! =)
Here are a few that I loved from my time with Genevieve…
Out of the first five shots I took I got a little smile, sticking her tongue out, eyes open and a yawn! Seriously, it couldn’t have been an easier shoot… Genevieve made it so easy!
A sleepy little girl! It takes a lot of energy to be born!
Love this face!
Such a beautiful baby!
A sweet face…
Love these props her mom had!
We headed outside for a few more. She slept through it all!
Very happy and very proud parents!
Before I left we did a few more on a very special blanket Genevieve’s grandmother made for her…
