At this stage the baby is still tiny and can comfortably sleep with its legs tucked under it&#8217;s body&#8211; many baby portrait specialists recommend the first week as the ideal time to shoot in order to get the trickiest (and cutest) poses. I have found it difficult to convince new parents (whom I may have met for a maternity session) that coming in with their baby at the right time is important&#8211; they&#8217;re still in the throes of new-baby-at-home excitement and often are too overwhelmed with the basic tasks of living that they may not want to leave the house for such an adventure&#8230; I was so glad when Mandy said her mom was going to drive her and Julius up to my studio last weekend&#8211; the baby wouldn&#8217;t have to ride on the subway (immune system overload!) and better still, I knew I&#8217;d be able to get a sweet portrait of Julius with his mom AND grandmom! Poor little Julius was feeling very awake despite our best attempts to feed and coax him into a nap, so we weren&#8217;t able to attempt some of the poses I had in mind (which really require a comatose-level sleeping baby to manipulate the arms and legs into the cutest positions)&#8211; but he proved to be just picture perfect as he was!
