The challenge becomes the masterpiece.
Posted on February 11, 2010
She was a sweet newborn. She came to the studio when she was just a few days old. Mom had done a very good job being pregnant. So good, in fact, that she carried this little one many, many days past her due date. Her tiny newborn started her session with eyes wide open. I don’t see this wide-eyed look very often with newborns. It’s always a surprise.

This is my new favorite girlie-girl chair. Her little red bloomers were perfect for it.

I consider this image one of my masterpieces! She was the 5th newborn with whom I’d attempted this complicated display. There are a LOT of variables to perfect to actually make it work. With the 5th attempt, I was still up for the challenge. And finally, for a few short minutes, I was able to capture something I’d envisioned for months. My special delivery to you…

This image was part of a wall gallery grouping I had chosen for Open House a few weeks ago. The lab that printed it has since called and asked to use it, along with two others previous shown here on the blog, for one of their own displays. I was very honored. Thank you baby Abby.
Newborn Session Info: Newborn images are best taken in the first 10 days of life. Please schedule newborn sessions before the baby is born. We allow for some schedule flexibility with newborns and will be prepared to provide a newborn session in the few weeks before or after your due date. Days 5 to 6 of life are the best time to capture your tiny new baby.
