My cousin very recently had her first baby and was very kind to let me take some happy snaps of him yesterday.

I had this idea in my head that new born photography would be cool. Because it’s not like they can get away.

But they don’t take instructions very well either. And though they can’t get up and walk away…they wriggle! They most certainly do not like being naked and man handled or place in position either!

That’s not to say I don’t still think new born photography is cool. Love it…but it was certainly harder than I expected to capture Jacob, who is only three weeks old…in a good light. With his patchy red new skin and milk pimples. A lesson learned.
