This year has been so crazy. Although in some ways it feels like it’s been incredibly long (especially when I look back at all the changes that have happened with the coronavirus), in other ways it seems like it’s flown by so fast—like when I realize I did these newborn photos back in June!
We had actually scheduled this newborn photography session for April…but with all the COVID shutdowns and precautions we had to delay for a few weeks. Little guy was ten weeks old by the time he finally made into my northern New Jersey photography studio. Photographing older newborns can present some special challenges: older babies tend to be more wakeful, and they’re not quite as flexible as brand new babies, so some of the cute newborn poses just aren’t possible after those first couple of weeks. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still get beautiful pictures!
Even though he was older, this little man was still a wonderful sleeper. Lucky parents! He was so good for me, and such a chunk! I loved those rolls and chubby cheeks!
Some of the most popular poses for newborn photography involve swaddles and wraps. Fortunately, wrapped poses are easy to do even with babies who are two or three months old. We decided to do lots of swaddles so we could still get that newborn look even though we’d had to delay our session. I think it turned out great!
I’m so glad we were able to work things out so that we could still capture memories of this sweet little boy. Love the images we were able to create. He was such a sweetheart!
