Meet Dahlia, whom I photographed on her 9th day of life! If you follow my blog, I posted her parents’ maternity session a few posts ago that you can see here! Dahlia was as sweet as they came, and slept the entire time. She didn’t make a peep. I could have posed her all day! Since I knew what her name was going to be ahead of time, I went out the day before to my favorite florist, The Blossom Boys, and they got me fresh dahlia flowers to use for the session, and it turned out beautiful.

I photographed Aspen when she was 8 days new, and I couldn’t wait to meet her, as it was her aunt that connected her mom and I months before she made her appearance! She was a few days over her due date, and when this happens I usually like to see the babies more around day 6 or 7, because “overcooked” babies tend to be more alert sooner. But Aspen was still very sleepy and I was able to get all the poses! I even got an Aspen setup in, that was a must with her name haha. It was a perfect session.

Perfect little Hendrixx indeed. Hendrixx came to see me in his second week of life and he was so so sleepy! I see so many babies and there are those who are alert from the beginning, the ones that want to be awake but are too sleepy, and the plain sleepy ones who will sleep through anything. The latter was how Hendrixx was. I met his parents when I did their maternity session, and I was so happy to get to meet and photograph him! His mother is an amazing singer (which makes me to think of  Jimmy Hendrix) so it was a must for me to incorporate music in the session and I am so happy how it all came out!
