Levi, day 17

I've known this cutie's aunt since elementary school, so I could not have been more excited when she contacted me about doing photos for her sister's new baby. Originally we planned on doing the session while I was visiting for Thanksgiving, but he had other plans!
After going 11 days overdue, he finally graced us with his presence, and then unfortunately had to spend the next couple weeks in and out of hospital with health issues.
(Apparenlty he warranted a few strange looks in the NICU, with his 10+ lbs next to the, more typical, 3 and 4 lb residents.)
Much to everyone's relief, he is now home and perfectly healthy. Once we got the all clear, I didn't waste much time getting my hands on him. We really wanted those sleepy newborn shots, and at over 2 weeks old, every day counts!
He started off our session WIDE awake, but after a few family shots and some rocking, he drifted off to sleep, and was oh so good to us.
Here are a few of my faves from his shoot. I had a seriously hard time narrowing these down!

 Big brother Carter was SO good during our shoot. He didn't even mind when Levi peed on him! Now from a 4 year old, THAT is love!

 Beautiful Momma! You can already tell he takes after her.

I just noticed during editing, that it's big brother's name tattooed on Dad's arm. Love it!

And of course we had to do one for Halloween!
