Awake
I think one of my hardest things as an attempting to become a professional photographer is that I don't care to do what everyone else is doing (besides talking family members into letting you practice on their dear precious newborns!). What I'm drawn too, what I love, isn't your cookie cutter photography that is all the rage right now. Most newborn photographers would've fought hard to get this girl to sleep and coaxed her into a cute knitted hat and an adorable pose...but that isn't who she is. She's awake...alert...checking out her world. Not that I dislike that kind of photography...I try for a shot or two for the mom...but I want real...it's what I love.
