This sweet newborn baby girl was one of my clients from last May, I love the soft pink and beige color scheme we used for the session, and the awake shots are just priceless!
Speaking of “awake” shots, I am always very happy when I get “open eye” shots during newborn sessions. Typically, newborns have not yet fully developed eye coordination, and have difficulty looking straight and focusing on objects or faces immediately in front of them (I am sure pretty much every parent has seen the more common newborn ‘cross-eyed’ look or a ‘sideglance’, which is incredibly sweet and expressive but – I must admit – makes for silly pictures). Therefore, whereas parents love to get open eye shots during their newborn sessions, they are relatively difficult to “get right”, and it is just pure newborn physiology and nothing your photographer or parents can do about.
