Nil Sezgin | Charlotte Newborn Photography | Kira Jeffrey Photography

When Nil’s Mama, Ozge, contacted me asking if her 1 month old would still qualify for a Newborn Session, I said “Of course!” Like many Expecting Mamas, it can be hard to keep up with everything preparing for the arrival of their little one, and often I’ve seen finding the perfect photographer can get pushed till it’s almost too late. I always try to squeeze in a client when they contact me nearing the limit for a newborn style session. Ozge and I were lucky enough to find a date that worked for both our schedules right away (even when a snow storm decided to hit Charlotte the night before our session!), so we were still able to capture this sweet little girl first few weeks in this world.

It is amazing how fast these tiny, little humans grow and change! Sometimes getting a almost 6 week old baby to sleep during a session can be a little tricky, but I have my ways… and through the alertness and a little fussiness, we captured some beautiful photos before she drifted to sleep and we got those precious sleeping baby images. The one thing that is so amazing about get a “older” newborn, is they often can be more aware and alert, and if/when they focus on me (the camera) the connection that is captured is just priceless.
