Miss Kate is visited the studio last week. She was a doll. We also share the same NAME!!! {Catherine}

To be honest, this session was not easy. Kate was having tummy issues and had recently switched formula. Every pose seemed uncomfortable for her and she really didn’t want to sleep. Mom and Dad felt awful, but the truth is that not every newborn sleeps throughout their session.

Not every newborn session goes smoothly. Sometimes baby doesn’t want to sleep or they are uncomfortable.

I try my best to photograph the newborn in one sitting. Typically it can last anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. I keep the studio warm for baby and play white noise. I rock and soothe baby if needed. I wrap them, but sometimes all of my efforts don’t work.

In this case, I asked the parents to come back a few days later to complete the session. We all agreed that Kate wasn’t feeling like being a model that day.

However, a few days later she came back and ROCKED her session! She slept like champ and was so much more happy.
