Party of 5

This gorgeous baby made his entrance a few weeks early to complete his family of 5. As always happens when I photograph babies, he decided he wasn’t interested in photos.  We had a rough hour of fussiness and crying but after a second feeding and a warm cocoon, he was out and didn’t care how many pictures I snapped. Also as usual, I didn’t want to put the baby down. I can never seem to get enough of the newborns, I’m fascinated with how their tiny bodies still prefer to be tightly compacted as they were in the womb. Newborns are simply amazing. I loved this little guy! Although his mom was super tired (she now has 3 children after all) she smiled the whole time she held him, and fed him, and talked softly to him, and dressed him…pure love in her eyes! And his older brother and sister couldn’t keep their hands off of him, I loved how they wanted to hold and kiss him the whole time I was there. This little man is part of a special family. Welcome to the world Clayton!
