"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." ~ Norman Vincent Peale
I love Christmas! It's such a magical time of year. Now imagine how much more magical it would be if you were blessed to have a baby during the holidays! Born only a few weeks before Christmas, Alan was a sweet, and sometimes cranky, baby boy whom I had the privilege of photographing. He was absolutely gorgeous...with sweet little fingers and toes and big blue eyes. His mom had a fabulous friend who made him several crocheted hats and outfits, each one more cute than the next.
Unfortunately, little Alan didn't like to be naked for too long, nor did he like wearing outfits other than his comfy, little, striped monkey onesie. Despite that, we got some great photos of him and I got to spend a couple of hours enjoying his cuteness! I seem to have a knack for soothing crying babies...not sure where that comes from but I'm okay with it :)
P.S. Did I mention he was named after the astronaut Donald Alan Thomas? Did I mentioned I have always been a space/NASA nut? Apparently I was meant to cross paths with this little baby!
p.s. If you are thinking about getting newborn portraits done, keep in mind that the best time to do them is within their first fifteen days. That's when they sleep more, and they are still really flexible so we can pose them in cute little newborn poses.
