Project 365 - Day 147. Rules Shmules - A Sneak Peek | Germantown Newborn Photographer

It's gospel in newborn photography, truly, that the session MUST take place within the first 14 days of babies life...really the first 10 days is best and the sooner the better.   Why?  Because newborn babies sleep A LOT and they're also very curly in the early days so easier to maneuver and get into lots of cozy, cute poses.   It's the rule and you won't find many photographers who stray from this.

Well...rules shmules!   Today I had the wonderful honor of photographing this GORGEOUS little newborn girl and (gasp) she was born on May 4th!  That's right, people...she's over 3 weeks old!   But, hey...life happens and it's where we were so we went with it and you know what?!   That little sweetie slept the entire session.  She let me move her, put hats and headbands on her, and only opened her eyes for about 30 seconds at the end so I could get a really quick shot of her eyes.   Her skin was flawless and everything about her was dreamy.   I loved every minute of it!!!   Thanks for sharing your beautiful new daughter with me, Jenny!   Enjoy your sneak peek...
