Daniel | Glencoe newborn baby photographer
There are exceptions to every rule, even when it comes to newborn photography. Even though it is ideal for a newborn baby to be younger than 2 weeks old for your typical newborn in baskets photos, sometimes it’s possible to get some of those “difficult” posed shots with a little older babies too. Meet Daniel, my dear friend’s adorable baby boy whom I waited to photograph for 5 week! Yes, he is a whopping 5 weeks old in these photos and though I warned my friend that we might not get any of the typical newborn shots due to Daniel being older and less sleepy/bigger, they still wanted to try. Given that he was a great little sleeper, we miraculously were able to capture some coveted blanket and basket shots, which was my goal for the session. However, every baby is different, and I strongly urge all my clients to not wait, and book their newborn session while they are still pregnant to endure a spot in within a recommended 2 week time frame of baby’s birth. On another note, if you are not crazy about these posed blanket and basket photos, we can also do a more relaxed lifestyle newborn session at the comfort of your own home where baby’s age doesn’t play such an important role. Lifestyle sessions can be done at any age.
Isn’t he just perfect? ♥
