When Papa Sleeps

Naps with papa is a story kids may forget, and yet they will always carry the connection with them.  That’s why I love capturing this story even more.  If you’ve got a newborn in the family, I love dressing them down so skin is on skin for the photo.  Window light illuminating dad and baby’s bare skin is one of the most beautiful things in the world.  Tuck your sleepy newborn right under dad’s chin and get in super close or zoom in with your lens so that all you see is sheets/pillows aside from them.  Too much background in this story will dilute the peacefulness.
