One of the most exciting things about my job is getting an email announcing that a new baby has arrived! I like to photograph newborns in the first 10 days of life while they are still pretty sleepy and are embraced in that sweet newborn curl. Expecting parents contact me while they are pregnant and have a tentative date on my schedule, and then they email me in the first few days after the baby’s birth. It was fun to get this sweet mom’s email telling me that sweet baby Peyton had arrived. I always smile reading an email like that, knowing the joy that the new parents are experiencing in those first days of meeting their baby. I loved meeting this sweet family and celebrating Peyton’s birth with them by photographing him at a week old. Since he was born right before Christmas, they had a cute Santa outfit that they wanted to use and he was so adorable cuddled up as a little Santa baby.
