Elijah | Franklin Michigan Newborn Photographer

Franklin Michigan Newborn Photographer

Elijah was the sweetest little guy with the best rolls! I rarely will get eye-open shots with babies, so it is always a treat when I get them! I loved his blue eyes and he gave me the cutest expressions! I’m so lucky to be a Franklin Michigan Newborn Photographer, because I get to meet the cutest little babies!

Tips on Photographing Awake Babies

Sometimes, photographers can be unsure of what to do when newborns are awake during their session. They will always go back to sleep-eventually! But in the meantime, there are lots of fun things you can do with their eyes open. I love to wrap them. Newborns are always more calm when wrapped, and you can get the eye open shots. These are some of the most popular shots with parents-since they don’t happen often! I also love to photograph newborns who are awake with their hands behind their head. They almost always will look at me like, “What are you doing, lady?!” It’s the cutest thing and one of my favorite shots to do! I also will take the time to do the close-up detail shots during awake time as well.

I had such a great time getting to know this beautiful family! I had a lot of favorites from our session, but was able to narrow down to just a few. I loved Elijah’s expressions and his chub!  I hope you enjoy their sneak peek as much as I did editing it! 🙂
