bennett | salem newborn photographer

Posted on Posted in Newborns

I love babies.  I have known for what seems like my whole life that I was destined to work with babies in some form or another. So it seems natural that everything about newborn photography makes my heart sing. This particular session was so lovely.  Bennett slept so peacefully, even as I moved him around, wrapped him up, and even carefully arranged his tiny fingers a few times.  He was a perfect model, and after a snack break, even posed for some awake shots as well.  I so enjoyed meeting this family.  His mama and I share a midwife, and I have been reading her blog for quite awhile.  When Bennett arrived, I wanted to gift them a photo shoot so badly, but I worried that it would be weird for me to come out of nowhere (sort of) and ask them if I could take pictures of their baby.  Luckily I got brave and did it anyway…and it has become one of my favorite sessions to date!  I think I fell a little bit in love with Bennett in the process.  Really, can you blame me? :)
