The name fit for a beautiful princess, Charlize Jewel, one of my new favorite girls names. I had never heard of the name Charlize before, it is so unique and I am in absolute love with it!
Charlize came to visit us in the studio to have her first portrait session, she was a little older then when we recommend photographing newborns, at just a few days off being 4 weeks old, but she gave us some gorgeous shots and even let me curl and wrap her up still.
Charlize also has the most divine eye lashes that I have ever seen on a little girl and her lips are pure perfection!
I normally recommend photographing newborns under 2 weeks, however sometimes this isn’t always possible. Older newborns do tend to take a little extra patience as they are more alert then when they were just a few days old, they have also discovered they can kick and stretch and don’t like being curled up in wraps as much as they once did. Their little tummies are a lot bigger and their bones are getting stronger, so they don’t squish up like they are still in the womb and most find comfort in having their hands near the face when sleeping. Each little baby is different and we work with them to keep them as happy and comfortable as possible.
Older newborns can give some of the most amazing awake photo’s. Awake newborn photo’s have to be one of my favorites when we get that right moment of them looking at us, these images can take some time as we aren’t able to get their attention and direct them where to look, but they are very worth it in the end!
I hope you enjoy meeting Charlize Jewel, congratulations to her mum and dad! She is perfect!
