“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” ~ Alexander Pope
I feel blessed to have another newborn to share with you all. I was recently asked to do Jackson’s newborn photos and we managed to arrange to meet when Jackson was 2 weeks old. I wasn’t so sure how the experience would go because typically the best newborn photos are taken between 5-10 days when most babies are in their sleepy, curly, and content stage. Usually between 2-3 weeks old babies begin to become more alert and are far less curly. But every baby is so different and Jackson was such a dreamy little guy for me to photograph. He was that dreamy that I’ll allow the photos speak for themselves. He slept virtually the entire session. And yes, apparently he was quite happy to have his photos taken too!
You may recall Jackson’s cousin Ricardo who I photographed at the end of May when he was just 9 days old. Ricardo came along with Jackson to the photo session so while we took a brief break so Jackson could be fed I couldn’t resist taking a few photos of him. My how he’s grown!
After Jackson returned we decided to take a few photos of them together. Here’s a good perspective to help anyone not familiar with how fast babies grow…here’s Jackson at 2 weeks old and Ricardo a little over 5 months old.
Jackson was quite content sleeping the entire time during his photos. He began to open his eyes for a brief moment but all it took was getting him comfy and he went right back to sleep. So we took a couple more photos of him.
Emille is definitely blessed with such a sweet perfect little boy. Before we finished we took photos of them together. I’m sure it won’t be long before this little guy grows so hopefully these photos help capture those memorable “newborn” moments with Emille and Jackson for them to look back and remember for many years to come.
Emille & Melannie thanks so much for such an enjoyable time with the boys. They are both incredibly adorable. I hope your family & friends enjoy the photos!
