This little guy was passed the usual “sleepy newborn” stage that most child photographers prefer to photograph newborns in (usually within the first 10 days), but he was my sleepiest and most cooperative newborn yet!

I just couldn’t get over how peaceful he was!

How willing he was to just lay where he was set and sleep. Or at least *really* relax.

I don’t think I heard a peep out of him after his initial disrobing.

Once he was full on momma’s milk, he was a happy guy.

Ready to stretch out and take a long nap.

Eden, I’m so glad we were able to get these done! Thank you, big sister L. and little 16 day old L. for allowing me to capture these sweet, sleepy moments.

Almost Four Days Old

Lori was my last maternity session for the Birth Art Show, and the last to have her baby as well.

C. was born gently at home in Fort Collins. Her mom and dad are new to this baby thing, and are having a wonderful time learning how to care and nurture for her.

C.’s dad is already a pro at wrapping her in her swaddling blanket and calming her for photographers.

Mama has her own secrets for calming their little girl.

Thanks so much for letting me interrupt your lives and your home to get these portraits made, Lori! I can’t wait to see you all again and see how much your darling little girl has grown.

I was excited to hear from Angela that her baby had been born; it seemed forever! L. was 8 days old when I was able to spend some time photographing her.

She was perfectly asleep when I arrived and set about to find the best location for photos. Such a doll, I couldn’t help but stop and stare at her each time I walked by.

These photos belie the actual session; she actually slept very little.

Angela would nurse her, she’d fall asleep, mama would put her where I asked and where I’d be ready and waiting with the camera. I’m so excited that we got “sleepy baby” portraits even though she wasn’t asleep the majority of the time!

Done with being put down, we captured some portraits of her with mama…

and big brother.

In just 8 days he’s learned great patience with his little sister; I can tell he’s going to be a great big brother.
