A few weeks ago I went to photograph the baby of some family friends. The problem was, I only had about an hour to an hour and a half to do it. For those of you who know how long it takes to photograph a newborn, you know this wasn’t near enough time. I usually spend 3-4 hours with a new little one, but I was doing this one just because I wanted to, so I had to squeeze her in. Little Joy is just as her name says, a joy. But, because of feeding and the time it took to get her settled afterward, we only got a few shots in. Here is my favorite so far…

And a sweet smiling one…
