Newborn photography is one of my favorite things to do. Babies are such miracles and so fun to snuggle. So as promised, here is newborn baby Leo’s first portrait session. Leo was born in the early morning hours of March 21st, a full 9 days before his due date (read Leo’s mommy’s full recount of the birth story here). When i photographed this newborn session he was just 5 days new. And he is TINY! Just 6 lbs and 15 ounces when he was born, he looked so small when mommy and daddy were holding him. And boy was it fun getting to snuggle this teeny little baby. I am definitely starting to feel a little baby fever with all these newborns around me! Baby Leo was sweet as sugar, even if he didnt really want to sleep for me. He was up, bright eyed and ready to see what i had in store for him. I typically like working with sound asleep newborns, but i’m definitely not going to complain when they show me their pretty eyes.

I had to post this one because it showed off the nursery so well. I am obsessed with baby’s room. the colors and patterns that Meg picked out.. perfection.
teeny tiny newborns in daddy’s arms? MELT.In Megan’s blog telling about the birth story, she talks about how she and drew can just stare at baby Leo… and its so true, they couldnt take their eyes off of him. its hard to do. he’s pretty amazing.
