downingtown newborn photographer | baby luke

When Jaime called Facebooked me to ask about newborn portraits for Luke, we talked a little bit about how baby sessions tend to work, what Jaime & Jesse were looking for in these portraits of their son, and what to expect overall.  Because infants are the most sleepy (and curled up) in the first 7-10 days, it’s important to get these shoots in quickly after they’re born.  I was headed out of town for the weekend, so we had to move quick.

“How does tomorrow look for you?”

It looked good.  I came to their home (which is in the middle of being remodeled, I should mention, so the places we could shoot were limited) and what follows is just a sampling of my favorites.  Luke held up like a champ, and alternated between cute/sleepy and cute/awake.

Luke was named for his uncle, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.  What a tribute!

Thanks again, Jaime & Jesse… it’s been great getting to know you and your family!
