It was a pleasure to photograph this lovely family and their sweet new little girl! The mom wanted posed newborn pictures, but baby girl had other ideas. I’ll be honest- baby was having a bad day! And you know what? Sometimes that happens

You really never know how a newborn is going to act from day to day, especially in those first few weeks. After all, we all have off days sometimes- I know I do! I had a lot of poses planned for her session, but she just wasn’t very comfortable. So after trying a few times, mom and I decided that it was best to keep her swaddled moving forward, since she was most cozy that way. My main goal during newborn sessions is really to keep baby comfortable and happy. So when they are unhappy, I stop and soothe them. It doesn’t happen often, but everyone once in a while, they just need some extra loving and extra time. I always tell parents before the session- after photographing hundreds of newborns, I have really seen it all in regards to temperament!
So what’s the point of this post? To let you know- don’t sweat it! If your baby is fussy, gassy, wide awake, or just having a grumpy day- we can still get some really sweet photos!
