Baby Cristian! : {Jacksonville Newborn Photographer}

Here he is! At an even 2 weeks old, baby Cristian was the best little model. His mommy had the house toasty warm to keep him comfy and, boy was he. This little fella slept almost the whole 2 hours! That is awesome! Only one feeding break. So needless to say, I was able to try a ton of poses. There were too many to choose from….so I listed a bunch! Enjoy a few of my faves. =)
