Crib Notes

If you haven't already heard about Finnish blogger, Adele Enersen, she's been in the news a lot lately for the unique photographs she took of her baby daughter while she was sleeping.

While most moms tip toe around their sleeping babies to make sure they get an extra long nap, Adele found that her baby would sleep so soundly that she could create interesting poses to photograph while she slept. Adele would gather props, lay her baby on the floor and create a "set" based on a theme. Everyone loves looking at photos of cute sleeping babies, so there's no wonder that after only two weeks, her Mila's Daydreams blog had over one million visitors.  

Some of the creative poses that Adele created, include:

• Baby Bookworm
• Where No Baby Has Gone Before (Baby Astronaut)
• Up, Up and Away
• Clothes Line
• Petting a Little Lamb 

The success of Adele's photography has led to the release of her book, “When My Baby Dreams,” a photographic picture book that contains more photos of baby Mila sleeping. Adele says in the opening of the book: “After Mila was born, I was so excited, I couldn’t sleep! But Mila wanted to sleep for hours and hours, so while she rested all I could do was stare at my baby and wonder ... What was she dreaming about? After weeks of watching Mila sleep, I finally started to see her dreams, so I decided to take pictures of them.”

We've created a Sleeping Babies pin board on Pinterest with some examples of Adele's work (and others). Check it out and tells us what you think.
