Last Saturday I took a break from all the holiday shopping madness and trekked it up to West Hollywood for a “newborn” session.  Sweet little Jemma is almost 7 weeks old and while that’s pretty new to most folks out there, to a newborn photographer, 7 weeks is eons away from the newborn stage.  Why is that so significant you might ask?  Simply because at this age, they are sooo unpredictable.  Newborns are pretty easy.  They sleep.  Somewhere after 2 weeks, babies want to do more and that’s when things get tricky.  Fortunately for me, Jemma was a perfect little pseudo newborn :-)  She and I hit it off right away and she easily got cozy in whatever pose I molded her into.  In a word – perfection!  Check out the images below to get a glimpse of this cutie.

Zarin and Ryan – enjoy your sneak peek.  I forgot to say it that day, but thanks for the pizza! :-)
