Finally, the little man makes his online presence! The Schaaps had their maternity session several weeks in anticipation of his arrival. They weathered high brush and treacherous water (grass and a small stream) to get those maternity shots. And then I had the privelege of meeting him days after his birth. Surrounded by mom, dad, grandparents and canine siblings, we managed to get a great photo shoot. There was lots of cooperation and team work!
One of the things I always tell mom is to give baby a good feeding about an hour before the session so that he will be nice and full and then very sleepy for our session. I love getting those sleepy pictures at this age because that’s the most memorable part of them right now. Later on, parents only wish their child would go to sleep!
Welcome to the world, little Schaap!

How’s that for a full head of hair?
