[ don't let him fool you! ]

Though this little munchkin looks peacefully and sound asleep I can assure you that he wasn't...at least for very long.  At 9 days old he was the most alert and fidgety little one I have photographed (aside from my youngest who barely slept through her newborn sessions!).  His restfulness actually helped move me along into changing his position often since I had to find the perfect spot where he would settle into a deep sleep for at least a few minutes.  We worked hard for not quite 2 hours and have such a great selection of images!  In fact at the end of his session I was determined to do a particular setup and it was one of mom's favorites that she chose for the announcement.  Good thing we stuck it out and won him over.  I'm looking forward to watching him grow...for now enjoy the sweet surrender of a newborn baby.
