Newborn Portraits in Boston and the North Shore

This is Julien - he's 3 weeks old and when his mom called to say her photography had let her down and did I have an opening as time was running out on the newborn stage I said of course! I always try to leave a few slots open each week for just this case... babies that come early or mom's that need a last minute session. 

By now you all know that 'newborn' session are usually day 5 - 12 ish... during this time the baby will sleep and isn't easily woken up.  By three weeks some of this is gone and babies tend to not want to sleep through the session.

BUT that doesn't mean you can't have an amazing newborn session with your 3 week old. It does involve more wrapping and we'll get more eyes open but the images created are just as special and adorable... don't you think?

So, I've been playing around with all the wraps and fabrics I have including this amazing fuzz in the top picture. Julien did NOT want to settle so it was hard getting a good shot of his body too... not sure about this pose but loved the feel of the fuzz surrounding him!!
