Yep, sleeping newborns are awesome. Can’t you just stare at her beautiful face for hours? And those pursed lips!? Gorgeous. I’m so lucky to have this beautiful babe as part of my extended family – congratulations Carrie and Scott!!
Oh, and a quick note on newborn sessions… seriously people, sleeping babies are the BEST! This darling slept through almost her entire session and let me curl her up into the cutest positions with hardly a peep… and yet, she did open her eyes from time to time so I could get some shots of her beautiful baby blues… SO, don’t feel like you have to plan a feeding for right before your newborn session in order to keep your baby awake through all the pictures. Instead, feel free to plan her naptime to start about 10 minutes before I arrive, and I guarantee that she’ll wake up and show me her eyes at some point too!
One more thing – congrats to Julie McClure, whose name was randomly chosen from all the commenters in January!! Since there were 35 comments on January posts, Julie is going to receive a $35 gift certificate to Sweet Pea Photography in the mail very soon. And for those who commented but didn’t win – keep the comments coming! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts so much that I just might pick a random comment each month to win a $25 gift certificate… or maybe $50… we’ll see what happens, but you won’t find out if you don’t comment! 🙂 Have a great day!
Jennifer Chaney - Oh my! I love the little pucker! Beautiful!
Amanda Doherty - Such a great picture, Allyson. I hope my little one is that calm.
