For those of you who aren’t familiar with custom newborn photography, a session takes 2-3 hours in order to get baby nice and sleepy and relaxed for those sweet curly poses you’ve seen so much of, and to feed and settle baby in between those poses. The rock star babes show up sleepy and we can start the session immediately. The average babe falls asleep within the first hour. Even the most alert newborns usually settle after 90 minutes.

Then there’s Bowyn. Bowyn stayed awake for the entire 3 hours. He wasn’t fussy or upset, he was just wide awake. So we didn’t get a chance to get creative with the posing, but he was kind enough to oblige me for a few. Bright blue eyes open the whole time. Well, except for the with big brother Macklin. I had to be quick with my shutter finger for that one to catch him mid-blink. 🙂
