Sometimes you just need a second chance…a “take-two.” If you are a photographer of babies you know that the unpredictable nature of photographing newborns can be a test of patience and determination! And if you are a mother who has been through a newborn session you know it can be HARD to make your baby sleep on command. Helena was no exception to these rules. : ) The first time I met with them for their newborn session we did everything we could, but she fought sleep.
Mom and I were both hoping to get more sleepy baby photos, so we decided to give it another try a week later. Little Helena gave us a run for our money but we pulled out all the stops (nursing, heating pad, womb white noise, hot room, coddling, shushing, you name it!) and eventually she caved and fell into a deep sleep. SUCCESS. She is so beautiful and now thanks to her parents’ hard work and determination we were able to capture these photos. Soon she will have grown so much; these photos will help them remember this time.
Oh! And the last photo is of Helena and her friend Mason. Could they be any cuter??
