Baby David came to my studio when he was 18 days old for his newborn photoshoot. While I prefer to book sessions between the 5 and 14 day window, I certainly can photograph babies beyond that timeframe.

When babies are smaller, they are still likely to stay in that tight, curly position like they were in utero, which makes it easier for wrapped poses. As well, when you catch them in those very early stages, they are still very nice and sleepy and can hopefully sleep through the entire photoshoot.

David was on and off sleepy for his session, but I love how he is wide awake and staring right at the camera, grabbing onto his teeny tiny toes in this image. David comes in as the fourth boy in his family, and his mom had his older brothers photographed in navy blue wraps for their newborn photos. She wanted this exact pose so that she could enlarge it and put it on the wall right beside his brothers’ matching newborn photos.
