Awwww….just look at that face!  I seriously can’t even handle all the cuteness of this Bettendorf newborn baby boy!  This sweet little guy is absolutely perfect in every way.  Everything from his puckering lips to those tiny fingers and toes; he’s pure perfection in every way.

While I just adore this sweet little guy, his older brother is pretty special, too!  You can just see how much he loves his baby brother!  He was my helper throughout the session.  He assisted me with the first picture below by placing his hand on the baby at all times.  This shot is what you call a composite.  This means that a family member will place a hand on one side of the baby for me to take a picture, then they step to the other side and place their hand on the baby.  I then work some Photoshop magic to make it look like the person wasn’t there, and there you have it…a very precious portrait while ensuring the safety of the baby at all times!

This sweet baby slept so soundly throughout his session all the way until the very end.  Then when he woke up, he just wanted to look around and check out the studio!  We were able to capture some super adorable awake shots to compliment his gallery!

Please, check out some of my favorite images from this session.  Remember, if you or someone you know is expecting, feel free to message or call me so we chat about all the exciting details!
