Every once in awhile I get a baby in the studio who is wide awake and stays that way for most of their session. Newborns are very sleepy in the first couple weeks and typically even if a baby arrives awake, they fall asleep for most of their time with me. This little guy had other plans. His parents drove in from Toronto to my Burlington studio and I believe he had a big nap in the car so when it was time for his session he was so excited and alert – he didn’t want to miss anything! It was perfectly fine. Sometimes parents stress about whether their baby will “behave” for their photos and I always try to reassure them that their final gallery will be wonderful even if baby is awake. In fact, I love when a newborn has a bit of an awake period because those images where they are alert and staring at the camera are adorable. AND they are always printed the biggest – because look how cute! Baby’s personality really shows through when they are awake.
