Dear DJ

I had the pleasure of photographing Dorian last week. I kept telling mom that I love the tv show “Scrubs”. The main character is “JD” (John Dorian). Well, this is “DJ”.

Dorian arrived on the scene in November, so he’s older than most of the babies I photograph for a newborn session. The key difference… Dorian didn’t want to sleep. I think he gave us a total of 4.4 minutes of sleep. All infants regardless of age fight sleep while at the studio. This amazes every parent, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least. The older they are, the less they sleep. And when they are awake… the limbs are moving everywhere. Dorian was no exception. I gave him the stink-eye for it and he told me to talk-to-the-hand.

Mom wanted a dreamy capture of her little cherub.

I’ve been trying to involve the parents more in my newborn sessions recently. Most new moms are afraid that they look tired and fat (leftover from pregnancy), but new moms are glowing! The parents assume that the newborn session is all about the baby, and it is, but I love to capture the love and awe on a new parent’s face before the 3am feedings get old. hehehe
