Little Leo

Friday, October 16, 2009 Posted in Newborn

This is Leo. He’s a Virgo. And a darn cute one too. My friend and collegue invited me over to photograph Leo when he was just three weeks old and what a fun session we had. The light in their house is just beautiful and Leo was so cooperative. Mom and dad did a fantastic job keeping him asleep and happy.

I love how little babies curl their legs underneath, bum high in the air.

Leo has such a beautiful face and plenty of hair for a newborn.

Dad was happy to get involved. Doesn’t Leo just fit so perfectly in his arm?

Since mom is a fine southern girl, they decided a bayou theme would be perfect for Leo. The wall above Leo’s crib is decorated with cute little frogs, lillypads and even a few mosquitoes. Hanging outside his crib is this snake, which we decided would make a perfect temporary resting spot. He curls up very nicely in there.

This was such a fun shoot and I’m so glad that little Leo and I got to spend some quality time together. Thanks to Leo’s mom and dad for having me over.
