Meet Lyon, who came to see me on his 18th day of life! Although his mommy let me know of his arrival as soon as she had him, she also let me know that he decided to come a whole month early and was only 4 pounds. SO tiny! So we opted to wait a while, until he put on some weight. When I photographed him he was still very tiny, only 5 pounds, and boy was he so cute! He was so little that he still had so much extra skin as his body hadn’t filled out yet, and he was a rockstar sleeper too, which is always a bonus! Usually the smaller babies are super duper feisty, but not Mr Lyon! He was so chill. I could have kept him. He is definitely the apple of his mommy’s eye, and I am so happy for this new family of 4!

Notice that ADORABLE lion cub set by The Knitting Bitty in the second picture? It was an absolute MUST-HAVE for Lyon’s mommy, for the obvious reason of the similar name 🙂 Just too cute! Oh how I adore customizing my sessions for my clients!
