Smyrna Photography ~ first newborn of 2010!

I am so thankful to have lots of newborns on my schedule already this year – I just love photographing babies. Today I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing mr. m. He is such a beautiful baby and did so well for his session. Even though he’s almost four weeks old he was wonderful to work with.

His mom and I were talking today about ideal session times for babies. I love to do sessions at different milestones throughout the first year.
newborn – birth-14 days – sleepy curly poses
three months – ideal for “baby parts” sessions – feet, hands, faces, body parts
six-seven months (sitting) – amazing expressions and fun posing
10-13 months (standing) – transition from infant to toddler – tons of personality and independence

I had a really hard time narrowing down which images to use on my post so here are four! Please meet mr. m with his mom, dad, and big sister. By the way, isn’t she beautiful?

M family, thank you so much for having me today. It was a pleasure meeting all of you.

Stay warm during these cold winter days. Happy New Year!

~On a side note, thank you all so much for your nominations for the Christmas gift. The winner and runner up have been notified and I can’t wait to do their sessions!~
