I don’t have any pictures of the most beautiful part of Caroline’s Session because it happened while I was holding Caroline.  

At one month old, Caroline was older than the typical newborn who comes to my studio.  Normally I prefer to photograph little ones under 19 days old because they are so squishy and it’s much easier for them to sleep through the posing for a very long stretch.

As expected, Caroline arrived awake.  And really wanted to hang out awake.  She was nosily staring at my light, so I switched if off and began to rock her knowing that her mama really wanted some sleepy poses.

Caroline did not want to stop staring at me as I rocked and patted, but then her mommy came near to use.  Resting her face against Caroline’s she sang to her while rubbing her forehead.  I kept patting and bouncing and sweetly, Caroline drifted off to sleep.

Sometimes I can only use words to record the sweetest moments in my studio, but the sweet images the followed made the snuggles and singing that much sweeter.
