Pure Bliss

I had the joy of photographing one of my very best friends new babies last weekend. He was an absolute delight. So tiny and precious. The most adorable sleeper. I could have just eaten him up. I have an almost 5 month old and have already forgotten how tiny and helpless they are in the beginning. The sweet newborn sounds and smells and the jerky reflex movements...I love it all.

Shooting a newborn is hard work and requires patience. Everything works at their pace. Here are some of my favorites from Saturday.

Is he not precious?!?!?

And because several of you have asked... I have a Canon XS and use a 50mm 2.8 lens most of the time.
