Newborns are hard!

My dear friend from high school had a baby 2 weeks ago, and since has been begging me to take new baby's pictures. I warned her that they probably won't be good. She didn't care. She is a single first time mommy and I want to help her any way I can. I was right- they aren't very good- but I got to snuggle a new baby for a few hours, so I won't complain!

Kudos to you photographer types who do newborns. It is an art and a good test of your timing and patience. I have mucho respect for you and your craft.

Anyhow, meet new baby- who was named after none other than Cookies! What a special honor for a 2 year old.

All pictures are worth taking, but it does seem that newborns are harder to capture, in the perfect moment.

At least you got a newborn cuddle, which is always so special. :)
