Hosanna 043 Is there anything sweeter than a newborn baby?  We’re just hitting the edge of Spring here in Colorado and after what felt like a VERY long winter new life is visible again! So, in honor of the beginnings of Spring I bring you this adorable little soul.

I should mention (for the record) that I am not a full time newborn photographer.  Let me tell you that it is a niche of photography that takes a specific skill set, environment and set up.  Still, I LOVE photographing newborns.  Why?  Well, it’s the pursuit of a really artistic shot that gets me excited about the challenge.  Newborns can be so sleepy that you can’t get them to wake up or so awake that all hopes of that perfect sleeping baby shot evaporates.  (This session was more on the awake side, but we did have a few brief sleepy moments too).  Sometimes they’re super pliable and content to be swaddled and moved around.  But if it’s not their day for sleepy contentment, you know about it!!

I think the challenge is fun, it keeps me on my toes! Plus when you do get some winning shots you can’t help but smile, cause I mean, c’mon…is there anything sweeter than a newborn baby?
