I simply cannot resist a newborn. I LOVE photographing them. There is just something about the newness–the perfect yummy newness–that is just irresistible. Here are a few glimpses from my session in Murfreesboro on Saturday…

He is so perfect and tiny and new.  What’s not to love?

Please remember, when planning your newborn session it is best to photograph baby at around one week of age.  That is when they “curl” the best.  Also they usually will sleep through just about anything at seven days old.  I’ve done some babies that were a bit younger than seven days and a few that were a bit older than seven days and they do great as well.  However, it is best to photograph them before two weeks of age because most babies peel (think peeling sunburn) around 2 1/2 to 3 weeks of age.  Makes for a very yucky portrait!

Also, it helps me a LOT if you can call me 4-6 weeks before you deliver to let me know that you would like a newborn portrait session.  That way I can build some “fluff” into my schedule so I won’t be so over booked that it is difficult for me to work in your newborn in a timely manner.
