Nine weeks old and very bright eyed, this boy was a beautiful model. Now, I definitely do not recommend this age for “newborn” shoots because they just do not stay asleep, BUT for this very special person I just had to comply. We gave it our best college try…getting him all cuddly and warm and ready for a nap…and ready for a nap….okay, not so much. But I have to say I am so happy with how we captured him! He was awake for most of the time, but catching these wonderful expressions of his soulful, blue eyes told me it worked out just fine that way. Mom did want some “sleepy” shots, so once he did fall asleep, it was snap, snap, snap then he promptly woke up. I think we managed to get some beauties of him both awake and in a perfectly peaceful slumber…

He is a charmer with those eyes! I love the one with the blanket on his head, but they all are winners!

One forgets how different a nine week old is from a newborn.
Both adorable in their own way and you always manage to capture the beauty of the moment.

He is a beautiful bundle. I love all of the pictures, but the first so wide eyed. Very special.

Those bright eyes are already processing his surroundings; in slumber he is universally blissful yet unique. These photos are priceless. A reminder of purity and innocence.
