Sleeping Beauties

Sweet dreams are made of this: Photographers Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden capture the calm contentment of napping newborns in these adorable portraits. Based in Nebraska, the photographers specialize in getting images of babies around 2 weeks old. Raver says she's able to get them in midslumber by keeping the studio warm and cozy, and having their moms feed them before the shoot. Raver and Ryden share their work in the book "Sleeping Beautes: Newborns in Dreamland."
