This strong little boy was amazing to work with even at 3 1/2 weeks old. It is always recommended to have a newborn session within the first 10 days of a newborn's life; nevertheless it is still possible to do this kind of photography at this stage as well. It just takes a little bit more time and patience! When newborns are weeks older they are more alert and less flexible to get into those curled sleepy poses. At the beginning he was pretty alert but after a little while he went to sleep and pretty much slept throughout the session!
