Baby D was only 3 weeks old when I took the pictures, but he was already past the “curl me up and I’ll fall asleep anywhere” phase.  His parents had warned me that he’d been fairly difficult so far, but the little man I saw was a darling.  He stayed awake and alert and happy for almost 2 hours!  His grandparents were visiting so we were able to get some precious shots of them with Baby D.   We spent the last half hour desperately trying to get him to fall asleep so that we could get some posed baby shots, but he had some plans of his own.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day. I love that he’s looking right at the camera in this first one!

There is nothing sweeter than a baby in his Daddy’s arms.

And finally asleep…

This first one is my favorite.  To me it says “Family”.

I cut her off a bit here, but you can just see the love and pride on their faces.

By this point, she was tired of us and ready to go to sleep.

V&J, it was a privilege to document your new family.  I wish you all the best.
