This little baby was three weeks old when I met her – which is pretty old for a newborn session.  Thankfully, little Miss Elliana was a sleepy sweetheart.  While she started off awake, she was still calm.  Once she fell asleep, she was a beautiful little thing who woke only to eat and then go back to sleep.  She was also a big fan of my space heater blowing right on her.  So, without further ado, come meet the newest member to this lovely family – Elliana!

It is amazing how much this little lady has changed since her newborn pictures only three months ago.  She has the biggest blue eyes!  She had great head and trunk control, so we were able to prop her up against things for a “sitting” position.  But, like most babies, she was happiest just playing on the bed.  Aren’t her eyes just gorgeous??

I prefer to photograph newborn babies in their first week of life, so when I got a call to photograph a baby already two and a half weeks old, I wasn’t really optimistic.  I couldn’t have been more wrong.  Little Avery was sweet as could be and very sleepy for me.  But for a long time, she wouldn’t go into a deep sleep and kept having active dreams with her arms moving and eyes rolling around. LOL  Once she did fall asleep, we got some wonderful images, including some of the below.
