Melanie B Photography Blog

Another sweet little newborn came to visit me last week!  He was 3 weeks old, but still very curly!

Because he was a little bit older, we had more awake time, and he could focus further away. I’m thrilled with this family shot! I hope Mom and Dad will be too.

There were three unique things about this precious little guy.  One was that he seemed to be in constant motion…even when apparently sound asleep!  His mom confirmed that that was how he was in the womb as well.  The second was that he was quite smiley, which you’ll see in this picture (and if you want to make a comment about newborns and smiling…keep it to yourself!  We here at Melanie B believe they are real smiles! ).

And, yes, that it his little foot up there next to his chin…which brings us to the third unique thing:  he was breech, so he was quite curly, and perfectly comfortable in this pose!  We actually had to work hard to get him uncurled enough to see his face some too.  Here are some more shots from his session.

I just love the way he’s resting his cheek on his fist in this family shot!

My favorite way to do hand and feet pictures is with the parent’s hand in the shot as well because we get to see just how tiny those little toes really are.

And once again…

Continuing my run of boys with this precious newborn.  He slept soundly the whole session, so I got to try out a few new things…which I love!  Here’s my favorite.

And nothing beats this classic pose, which I always try to capture (doesn’t he have the cutest little belly button?).

The tummy poses are always a little harder to get (some babies just don’t go for it), but so worth it when it works out!

This one was one of Daddy’s particular requests.

Beautiful Mama and her Baby Boy.

Lastly the whole gorgeous family together.  I could have photographed them all day!

Visit me again next week to see my next newborn boy!  Don’t worry, I’ve got a girl scheduled after that. 

I had a sweet little newborn boy visit me last week, and I am just in love with his hair!

Is that not just adorable?!

I just finished making this new blue baby cocoon, and this little guy was the first to try it out.

cute little piggies!

He was actually awake and alert for most of the session (we had quite a time getting him to sleep!), so we got some nice awake shots too.

This little girl belongs to this beautiful mom that I posted about in November.

Her mom brought rosary beads to the maternity session and this little miniature strand to the newborn session.

Sometimes we do get photos of the newborn awake, and I love that she’s looking right at me in this one.
