Remember that gorgeous mama-to-be that I posted a few days ago? Well, guess what? It's a BOY! I was so honored to get the chance to photograph Matt and Kristi's brand new little guy when he was only 7 days old. This was my first newborn shoot and let me tell you, this adorable little man already had a mind of his own!
Evidently I caught Baby C when he was going through a growth spurt, he slept for about 10 minutes and allowed me to get some cute shots of him wrapped up on a blanket that Kristi's grandmother had made for her and her sister when they were little girls. After that, he was up and ready for action! Despite more feedings and super short cat-naps than I could count, he refused to sleep unless either his mom or dad was holding him tight. I think he thought he might miss something! So, we rolled with it and went for more lifestyle type shots. It was a long day for everyone, but I was really pleased with the emotion that was captured in the photos of this beautiful family.
And that wide-awake little guy was deep asleep 10 minutes after I left...
Kristi's sister is a close friend of mine, so I was happy to get a
few shots of baby C with his very excited twin cousins, as well.
