Earlier this month, I introduced you to baby Grayden, the son of my childhood best friend. Steven and Lisa are beautiful people who I’ve enjoyed photographing in the past, so it was inevitable that they’d have a photogenic baby who would be a gem to work with!
Now, I’m not a newborn photographer. I have talented friends and colleagues who are drawn to working with babies; they are clever and creative and know how to lull babies into the perfect sleep and positions…like the pied piper of newborns. Not having children yet, myself, I find that working with newborns is intimidating…I worry if I’ll break them. Having said that, I’ve photographed many of my closest friends’ babies and all has gone well. This baby, however, was the pièce de résistance.
Grayden slept or coo’d sweetly for about four straight hours. He had two diaper situations, but neither caused any disruptions. He ate, snuggled, and let me move him about without any fuss. When I have children, I’d like to order one up just like him!!!
He is beautiful, but his temperament is so chill. He’s already his mommy and daddy’s perfect little angel and I can’t wait to watch him grow up. Steven and Lisa will be his perfect parents and I know he’ll grow up surrounded by love!
