I have never seen a newborn smile like this before!

Last week I met this baby girl. I think she was 10 days old. If you are a mom or you know anything about babies, you know that they don't smile until they are about 2 months old.  They are totally sweet, and they will smile in their sleep - I love it when I can catch a sleeping smile when I'm doing newborn portraits.  And sometimes they will even smile when they're awake, but it's fleeting.  This baby girl was DIFFERENT - she smiled all the time!  She just looks so happy and fun, and I found myself smiling right back at her the whole time.  I meet quite a few newborns, and I've never met one with a personality like this - her parents are in for such a good time!

 

She wasn't very interesting in sleeping for us, but we did get her to sleep for a little while.  We were glad that we had plenty of time allocated for her session, because it wasn't easy. :)




But waiting for the baby to sleep is always worth it.






It didn't last long, but who cares, when she will smile like this - awake!








*I admit* - this is a fake, she just blinked, she's not sleeping... but I thought it was sweet.


Congratulations to this really nice family - I loved meeting you all!  I hope she sleeps a lot more for you at home than she did here :) - and I hope she is fun & smiley like this her whole life!
