Max | Lewisburg Newborn Photography { frogs and faeries }

I traveled to Lewisburg yesterday morning for a session with brand new Max and his family. I have NEVER seen as much hair on a baby as Max has! His grandma calls him Elvis! :)

Max was 10 days old yesterday. It's very important to schedule your newborn session as soon as possible. I usually recommend Days 4 - 10. Getting them photographed so early typically ensures that the baby is still VERY sleepy and very moldable (is that a word? SpellCheck is telling me it isn't, but you know what I mean!). Mom did a great job of getting little Max in on time, but Max had other plans than sleeping the whole time! But from what I understand, that's because he slept 7 hours last night! SEVEN hours! 10 Days old! That's amazing!

One of the things I enjoy with newborn photography is that no session is ever the same. Each baby has a different temperament, they need to be soothed in a different way, some are very flexible, while others most definitely are not. Max gave me a little challenge into getting him asleep, but I loved every minutes of snuggling and cuddling with him while I did it.

But, of course, in the end, I prevailed! Ahh, victory!

I love this one in BW too, so I had to show them both:

On the way home, I was kicking myself for not getting Max's hair into a mohawk for the next shot. But, as Max was a light sleeper, it took a bit of work to get him into this position. And he gave me exactly 2 shots with it, so not really any time for a hair style change! :)
