This little guy happens to be number six in his family…a much hoped for boy to even out the boy/girl ratio and to use Leanne’s long-time favorite name that she’d been saving up after two girls in a row. Judah happened to arrive right before school started (a new school for his big siblings) and just a few weeks prior to moving. Needless to say his first weeks of life have been a a little hectic, but I was so glad mom still made time for some newborn photos!
When I arrived for this session, Leanne informed me that little buddy had been awake all morning, so he would probably sleep. No such luck! So after about 2 hours of feedings and cuddles, and getting a few shots, I asked if maybe we could pop outside in the hopes of grabbing a few images. And then he totally zonked. It was perfect! I think I got half of the finished shots in about 10 minutes. This is why I always schedule lots of time for newborn sessions…you never know how much time they will need to settle in. It was definitely worth the wait, the outdoor shots are some of my faves. 
See the little smile? And boy was he a happy camper once he got that thumb in his mouth.
After having two of my own thumb-suckers, I think thumb-sucking babies are especially adorable!
Enjoy your sneak peek Leanne & Al!
