I have alot of tricks up my sleeve to get a newborn to sleep. I have perfected them over the years (meaning: when mine were babies they never ever slept ever) and they work a good 99.9% of the time. Then, I meet the .1% and they want to PAR-TAY. This little guy was a perfect example - he gave me a little freebie micro nap when we first got started and I just trucked along thinking my magic was working. But…he woke up. And not only did he wake up he decided right then and there where he wanted to be and that was with the Mom and the milk, not with the Season and the beanbag. We kept at it until he finally won the battle BUT I do think we prevailed in the end…cause look at this little guy!

It’s time for baby boy blue…but no Carolina blue for this family!

I meet so many sweet little newborns and they all have very clear personalities but there aren’t many that I would say were a total ham!  This little guy was older than most of the newborns on my site but he was just so easy to work with, even sneaking a smile into his first family portrait.  And you can’t forget their first baby that would sneak onto my set up for his moment in the spotlight every time my back was turned.  A very fun session!
