Have you ever wondered how newborn photographers are able to get babies to relax for their photos? I usually have an arsenal of tricks up my sleeve, but every now and again, I have to get creative. Nicholas hadn't been particularly happy when we started our photo shoot. He loved having snuggles with his Mama, but every time we put him down for photos, he'd cry. As many of us mothers know, babies will definitely pick up on your smell, so we figured it might be easier to bring Dad on board to help out. Luckily, the concept worked, but he still wanted to be held. The easy fix was to just take the photos while he was being held! Here are a few behind the scenes photos and the resulting photos. As you can see, we were able to get Nicholas to relax afterwards, and we ended up getting some great shots!
