Sleeping Beauties

Photographer Sandi Ford captures heartwarming images of just days old newborns while they are sleeping.

 

 

Places them in a variety of positions, including the frogi pose where the babies prop up their head in their hands.

Says she aims to capture beautiful pictures of the infants, showing off their innocence and joy.

These babies might have just entered the world but already they are showing off their cheeky personalities while sleeping.

The charming pictures show the slumbering infants with their emotions written all over their tiny faces, even if they are only a few days old.

The heart-warming images were captured by photographer Sandi Ford, who places the newborns in a variety of positions, while they are snoozing comfortably.

The 35-year-old, who sees clients visit her home in Ealing, west London gently places the babies in the frogi pose to snap the adorable pictures.

She lays the infants on their fronts, with their heads propped up in their hands before moving their feet forwards like a frog.

Sandi said: 'Babies are so innocent and beautiful, and children are so full of joy and life, it’s this that I aim to capture.'
