As some of you have noticed, I've been a little MIA lately.

This summer was our busiest yet and I wanted to spend as much time with my own babies as possible.

It felt like it had been forever since I photographed a newborn, when in fact it was just a month ago! When a break like this happens, it is easy to forget why I adore photographing newborns. This Wednesday afternoon I had a great reminder of that. Of course, it helps when I am given a "perfect 10" for a model. Baby Collins came to me at about 9 days old. I couldn't get over how gorgeous she was. I laid her down to pose her in a position with which I typically start. For the first time ever, I had a newborn pose her own face on her perfectly laid hand. At that moment, I knew we were going to have a "perfect" session and we most certainly did!
