A couple of weeks ago, I met the cutest, sweetest little newborn:) His parents received a newborn session with me as a gift. They came into my Manchester, New Hampshire studio when he was 25 days old and he was perfect. Believe it or not, some consider three weeks for a newborn old, I never judge:) Three weeks is still a baby to me!

I always give instructions for a newborn session. The reason, if you follow the instructions, your session will go smoothly. Smoothly means, your baby will sleep:) Sleeping is key for the session, so I can get shots like what you see below.

One thing I always ask for (some think I am crazy!) is a pacifier. A pacifier allows me to pose babies in the ways you see below, if they are not super sleepy. Some babies like to suck on their fingers, nurse, etc. A pacifier is a deterrent when the session is going on.

I hope you enjoy baby Desmond as much as I did. His sweet family is very lucky to have such a good little boy.

Congrats Ashley and Adrien!
