Photographing a 2 week old Superhero..... Chicago Newborn Photographer

I had the absolute pleasure of first photographing Auggie when he was only 16 hours old.  He did awesome.
I was beyond excited when Mom wanted to shoot again so soon!
Mom is a mega nerd, Dad is getting there..... I was excited to see what Mom wanted to shoot, she didn't disappoint.
I have been waiting for the right baby to photograph with my blankie from when I was a baby.  My Mom made me a Star Wars blankie in the late seventies and I still have it.  I brought it for the shoot..... Auggie's Mom also brought some Star Wars gear.  It was meant to be.
Mom also loves Batman, when we were photographing lil man as Batman, Dad goes, "is that mine?" 
"Yes, I took it from your desk," Mom says while placing a mini Batman next to Auggie for the set.
Auggie did awesome, we took plenty of breaks for him to eat and stretch.  At the end he was done and let us know.  He was ready to sleep and did not want to do so on camera.  I was ok with that.... I would much rather photograph little ones with their eyes open to see the old soul looking back at me.  I also loved seeing his personality peek in and a bit of Mom and Dad came through in the expressions, LOL!
Here are some of my favorite pics from Auggies 2 week old shoot at my studio.
