Sleepy Baby

In case you were wondering, the best time to photograph newborns is in the first two weeks after birth.  This is because they tend to be more sleepy and "milk drunk".  Just something for all you expectant moms to know, so you can schedule with me in advance ;)

Sometimes, no matter what you do baby will not sleep.  You try heat, white noise, feeding, rocking, swaddling, and everything else under the sun, and nothing works.  It can be frustrating.

Well that was not the case with this sleepy baby boy!  He was still recovering from a bit of jaundice so that may have helped in my favor, but this guy was out for 2 hrs straight!!  Talk about a lucky photographer!

If you saw my Christmas photo post, the photos in this post are the same baby.  Those Christmas themed photos were purely selfish on my part because I wanted something to post that was festive :)  But how could you not want a ton of pictures of this cutie pie?!

So sleepy he's catching flies...
