The birth of our first child was right before Thanksgiving. Planning her first photo shoot, we knew we'd want something for Christmas cards, and this is what we ended up with.
The little turkey was 3 weeks old to the day, and was hard to keep asleep, hence the pacifier.
We've got her lit from the side with a homemade softbox, and the handheld other than that (leaving it a little on the soft side, but still workable).
