newborn photo session

I have always adored photographing newborn babies, but it seems in the last year or so I have grown this deep passion for how important their little lives are and how important it is to have them photographed. Maybe it is with my children growing, now 3 years, 5 years, and 11 years, I have watched them transform from this unused, untouched, unlived soft pure skin with trust, into amazing people that have so many gifts, but pure trust starts to escape them more with each year. They are worried about things, they cry when something is taken away, they ask where we are going. They are anxious about school or tests or what will happen tomorrow. How amazing the language of a newborn. They trust. 

Which is why photographing them at this age is such a gift. They will sleep under a tree in a basket, they will rest their bodies all curled and twisted, they are formed by what we do and they trust us.
