Little Miss Lydia was a little doll – one of my sleepiest babies yet! I’ve photographed a lot of newborns, and hence I’ve watched many new mommies and daddies. It is always very interesting. Some are very protective, cautious, and nervous. Others are so comfortable they just seem like they were born to be parents. Little Lydia’s mom and dad definitely fit into the latter category. I was impressed at how calm and comfortable they were as they held and interacted with their 6 day old daughter!
Mom definitely deserves an award for her very difficult 30 hour labor, and did a great job with pictures despite discomfort and overheating. This is a beautiful new family; I was honored to capture these memories for them.
