If At First you Don't Succeed, Try Try Again:: Columbus, Ohio Newborn Photographer

One of my biggest group of supporters and clients are the girls from the OSU NICU. I have photographed a TON of the babies born to the nurses in the unit. I was thrilled when Lauren contacted me to keep the tradition going. However, from day one, I was praying that the other tradition with the NICU nurse kids was not upheld....they all like to stay awake for me:-)

There had been a trend of boys, and a trend of boys that didn't want to sleep during their sessions....which essentially led to LONG sessions. I didn't mind, because I get to snuggle longer, and chit chat with their parents, and I always won in the end:-)

When Lauren had a girl, I was SURE the trend was going to be broken. I was convinced that we were going to knock through the whole session in 2 hrs or less.....well, I shouldn't have been so sure of myself.

Baby Tressa wanted to hang out and be awake for the WHOLE session. 5.5 hrs later, be decided it would be best if they came in a second try a few days later. Tressa was done, I was exhausted...and I think mom and dad were too.

In this case second time was a charm! We got BEAUTIFUL images during the awake session, and then the soft, sleepy baby poses the second session! I was sooo happy that mom and dad were going to have a full, diverse gallery! I couldn't just pick one or two to share on FB, so here are my top favorites!!

I feel like she was mocking me!! lol
