4 weeks old :: newborn photographer :: central ky

As I drove out of town to this session, I was tempted to stop every few minutes and take photos of the gorgeous scenery: rolling hills, barns, spring blooms, wild flowers, overcast stormy clouds.  It really couldn’t get any better – until I met baby ‘M’.  He was such a great baby, and despite the fact that he’s older than my usual-under-2-week-old newborns, he slept like a champ the entire session.  The storms kept me from doing the whole session in their beautiful backyard, but I snuck him out for a couple of shots (you can even see the few raindrops there), and I LOVE that image.  Not only because of the scenery, but because I know it’s probably where his feet will first touch the grass, and curl, where he’ll take his first steps and first falls, where he’ll be superman, a cowboy or a knight, where this yard will transform into his magical land.  It’s where he will spend his childhood and start building his memories.
