Meet Willow - 12 days old | Wilmington, NC newborn photographer

What a sweet, sweet, baby girl. When I got there - she was already asleep - and since mom remembered to have her already undressed - just wrapped in a blanket - I was able to get right to work.
She even tolerated me getting her unwrapped - which we didn't think she was going to like - but oh, isn't she sweet!
Here she is laying in daddy's arms - I love seeing her little eye lashes - but I think I love her little pinky sticking out even more! And it's a good thing I took advantage of her sleepy time when I first got there - because it didn't last long. After replacing many, many, many blankets due to newborn pee and poo - she was wide awake. Which is ok, too - because I love newborn eye-contact. Oh, and check out her red hair!
Now, this image intrigues me - and it might be one of my favorite newborn images! She is hanging out with mom - sitting up in her arms - "looking" out the front door. The light coming in is beautiful - she's slightly sucking her lower lip - her sweet hand in front of her - I love all of that - but there's something about the way she's looking that gives me goosebumps. I don't know what it is. What do you think?
Brett and Joy - congratulations on your first child - I'm so excited for you! Thanks for the opportunity to photograph this beautiful time in your life!

What an absolutely beautiful baby girl. She's just perfect. I have to agree with you about that last image. It gave me goosebumps too. It's like she's focused on something and deep in thought. What do 12 day olds think about? Hmmmm. :) Fantastic job as always Dana.
