The Life of Reilly or Riley – or in this case Rylie – is a good one if you can manage to be dealt that hand. For the uninitiated (and as the story goes), Riley declared that if he ever became President of the U.S. that New Yorkers would swim in wine. The phrase later came to mean, living a life of leisure……. lazing around without a care in the world.

So have a look at Rylie below. How’s he doin’ so far? Exactly.

Taking a little snooze in a long stocking cap? Why yes, please!! Don’t mind if I do!

Newborn baby boy Rylie came to the Pixels On Paper photography studio at just 12 days old for his newborn portrait session, with one of his Daddies and Grandma in tow. This little doll was born a few weeks early much to everyone’s surprise. Rylie is loved more than life itself by his two fathers and his huge extended family. They all want to cuddle him all the time and honestly so did I. He already has a Disney character collection and a fashionable wardrobe with matching shoes larger than most grown children’s. His gramma set up the session and I can only imagine how she’s going to have to keep elbowing Rylie fans out of the way in the years to come.

Only the carefree are looked after by their stuffed animals. I mean … what harm could possible come to such a sweet and tranquil little man? Answer: none! He’s surrounded by Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, Donald and an enormous elephant.

This delicious little creature slept comfortably through our entire photoshoot and did not cry one time. Remarkable. There were multiple wardrobe changes, set changes, props were moved around and he could not have been more chill.

I had the most precious photos in record time, and honestly dear readers, I could have gone all day, if I didn’t know that that would just make choosing finals even harder. This kid is a prince and I cannot wait to take some shots of him when he’s awake and expressive ……… and able to tell me what he and Goofy chat about in the wee hours.

I love, love newborn baby portraits, in the studio, with or without parents. These little ones give me new life and whether there is a theme or the most spare set possible, these early days – once gone – cannot be found again. So glad to have been a part of this particular photo session.
