Itty Bitty Newbie

There is nothing in the whole wide world quite as lovely as a newborn baby.
Their smell. Their soft skin. Their mellow disposition (so mom and dad hope!). Their cuddles. Their itty bitty noses, fingers, and toes. Their pudgy feet.
Sweet baby Landon had all of this and more. He is such a good boy, eating and sleeping well, and just relaxing and listening to the kids playing while he's awake.
I was lucky enough to get up to see Landon while he still had all of these itty bitty features. But at just six days old, he was so alert and very strong too.
Newborns, as sweet at they are, can be difficult to photograph. Used to sleeping most of the day, they seem to be confused by all of the poking and prodding that comes with portraiture, so in my experience, it's not as easy as it looks to get a newborn soundly off to sleep while taking his or her picture. That being said, I still think we managed to capture some very sweet pictures of new baby Landon (and his wonderful family).
