I visited Baby J., when he was just one week old. This was a special treat. I had photographed his gorgeous mom when she was still pregnant, and I’m just swooning over how I was able to continue mom’s story into baby’s story. This was perfect time to do some cute newborn poses and to record a precious and fleeting moment in time.

Bath time is bonding time. These little toes get some TLC.

Baby J. was not happy in his bath, but being in mom’s arms made everything better.

Oh, the little curled toes!

Little newborn bodies are so full of character. Wrinkled skin, grimaces, and swirls of hair all over the body. Baby J. has a mini faux hawk that sticks up on his forehead.

Having a newborn is a special time. I think it’s not just because of having the baby, but also because it’s a time to dream of the future. There are so many possibilities. There will be so many moments of joy to come!

Congratulations to the S. Family! Enjoy this gorgeous baby, and dream some big dreams!
