I had the honor of photographing this sweet squishy cuddly “little” 11 day old newborn, who weighed in at 10lbs 5oz at birth. You can see her mommy’s maternity photo’s here, taken a little over 3 weeks before little miss made her arrival.

She was the most perfect baby to photograph. She was in a milk coma the entire time and if she started to fuss, a little warm air from the space heater and a gentle rub on her cheek instantly put her back into a deep sleep. I really tried hard to narrow it down to my favorites to post here on the blog, but as you can see there were just too many. I actually have a ton more that I didn’t post!

I was super excited to use my new hats from my favorite knitter. Here’s a link to her Etsy shop if you are intersted: The Funky Hooker

She arrived just in time for Christmas.

I am a total sucker for newborn smiles.

I’m a sucker for back fat rolls too. Not on me, of course, but definitely on a squishy newborn.

More smiles.

And some macro shots to capture those details that fade way too fast, as any mom knows.

Oh, how I love to photograph newborns. That smell, that squishy feeling, those little noises. I can’t get enough.

I just love those little footsies trying to poke out.
