Baby Guy’s Newborn Photoshoot | Carmel, Indiana
Sweet newborn baby Guy was in the studio recently for his newborn photoshoot. He’s a curious little fellow who watched me with a “I wonder what she’s going to put me in next” look on his face quite frequently. I don’t think he trusted me. 🙂 Anyhoo, he was a good baby, and we were able to get some awake shots and some sleepy baby pictures. It’s always a treat when you can get both during a newborn photoshoot. I chatted with Baby Guy’s mom recently about the early days of being a new mom.

It’s surprising how busy you get! Even though he sleeps often, there’s still so much to do and not enough time to do it!

The anxiety and worry. It feels like that will never go away. I’m just always concerned about him being safe, happy, and healthy.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting. I also used lots of pregnancy apps as well.
If you could tell an “about to be first-time mom anything, what would it be?
Keep you and your partner at the center of this new adventure. Make sure to say “I love you” and “thank you” often. Don’t be quick to anger, give each other grace.
