I’m impatient, it’s so hard to wait for things, like right this instant I’m going bananas because August seems so so very far away until we go on our family vacation. By the time August comes you all will be so glad that I’m finally going so that I will stop talking about it. So I instantly knew that I would get along well with my newborn baby client this morning because he doesn’t like to wait for things either. I traveled to El Segundo to meet baby J and his Mommy & Daddy for his very first portrait session. Mr. J decided to arrive five weeks before his due date! He was ready to take on the world, no more holding him back, he was tired of waiting. So of course my first question for his Mom - wow, so was he in the Nicu? Did he have any problems. Nope, he came out perfect in every way, and came home a few days after he arrived. He is now three weeks old, but technically not due for another two weeks. Wow that’s a lot of math. 
I think he got the memo from the other newborns that I see, because he just wanted to stay up and party with us, sleeping is for babies he said, he’s 3 weeks old, a man about town. But finally when we were almost done, he decided to give in and just sleep. He was such a good baby for us today, and his Mom & Dad were beaming with pride and were so kind and gentle. I had a wonderful time and thank you to the G family for welcoming me to your home!
Here are a few photos from our time together…
I love how he has his tongue stuck out!
Then he decided he was tired…
His Mom had an idea that she wanted to try! I think if we had waited a few days later we couldn’t have done it, he was almost too long already, but I think we did great and it’s so cute.
and since he was sleeping so well for us, we just took him around the house and started putting him places, like his Dad’s desk…(the G is for his last name)
Check back in a day or so as I’ll be sharing some client photos of a special Birthday Boy.

OMG! That one in the wagon is adorable!
He just needs someone to pull him around the block!
Beautiful shots! I love the last one. LOL
He looks so alert & filled out for a 5 week preemie! Kudos to mom for trying the wagon shot, it is just adorable! And Dad just has to get the one on the desk big for his office! That would sure remind him of just why he works so hard, lol!

Awhh what a great shot with the wagon. I can see a series coming with a wagon. First this one, then one when he can sit up in a wagon and then one when he is old enough to pull a wagon by himself. Adorable!
