A little older than a newborn (he was about 2.5 months old at the time of our shoot) I was anxious to see how the shoot would go. Being that he wasn’t a tiny, squishy, sleepy newborn could have gone either way (alert, awake and happy or annoyed, cranky and awake). We got so lucky and he was just a happy little guy who was awake, alert, made great eye contact and was just generally happy. Even got a few smiles! Can’t ask for more than that.

Love me some forehead wrinkles! Mom and Dad were totally fabulous and fun, and so easy to work with. Just like their little man. 

This lovely little family lives in my parent’s building and I was so happy to meet them and their very new little girl. I think she was the easiest baby I ever photographed- so sleepy and so easily soothed back into sleeping when she did wake briefly.

I think they love her. Just a little bit! This was one of those ‘inbetween’ shots, which often turn out to be my favorites. As this did.  She gave up a ton of smiles, but it was always when I had the camera down. Finally caught one!

I was sad to hear that they were moving out of the building, but they have a big lovely new home to move into. I was going for the American Gothic look here (but don’t worry, there’s one with them smiling too)! Good luck with the move (and the wall paper removal)! So great meeting all of you!!
