Last Thursday I went to do this newborn photo shoot of seven day old Kahu-Ariki. At seven days old, he should pretty much just be eating and sleeping, which mum assured me he usually did. On this particular day, though, he wasn’t in the mood for sleep. During the three hours I spent with Ariki and his mum and dad, he must’ve only slept for a total of about 15 minutes! He was just wide awake and wasn’t interested at all in sleeping or posing for me.

Fortunately, we still managed to get some beautiful portraits of him with his parents. He thanked me by peeing on me, and then finally went to sleep so I could quickly get a few images of him with his eyes shut.
