Last Sunday I headed to one of my favorite places,  Huntington Beach, to meet the latest addition to one of my favorite families :-)   Eleven day old Shay was a true “dream” to work with – he slept pretty much our entire session, which is really all I ever hope for when going into a newborn shoot.  Shay delivered the goods!  He’s such a cutie pie and I’m very honored and excited that his awesome parents have chosen me to document the first year of his life.  I’m looking forward to seeing Shay throughout the year, but for now, let’s live in the moment and appreciate him for all his newborn goodness.  Meet baby Shay:

Love the little puckered lips:

One of the few times he opened his eyes during our shoot:

Nice and cozy. I wish I could sleep like that:

I offered Shay’s dad a job as a baby stylist in case his other gig as a cardiologist ever gets boring :-p  He gets props for this cute pose :

This post wouldn’t be complete without a photo of big brother, Rowan, who waited patiently and even helped out during the session. Thanks Ro!:
