Each of the babies - who are no older than 10 days - spend up to three hours with Amy but only a small amount of time is spent shooting because she has to wait until they are in deep slumber.
Amy, from Port St Lucie in Florida, USA, said: 'Photographing napping newborns in this style is not easy especially when they are nude.
'Most like to be kept very warm so I will often have a small heater blowing warm air their way or sometimes even place a heating pad beneath them.

'My average shoot is about three hours but the majority of that time is spent feeding, changing and swaddling the newborn until they drift off - it takes a lot of patience as baby is boss.
'Most of my young subjects are under 10 days old while their precious little bodies are still flexible from being in the womb. Shortly after that time their backs begin to stiffen up.'

Amy, who has been taking baby portraits for two years, is used to babies who don't want to play and has learned to find ways to work with even the most difficult.
She added: 'I had a four-day-old newborn that refused to fall asleep horizontally. The only way he would nap was when his mum held him close in the upright position.

Just chilling: The toddlers are in a number of positions from relaxing in a hammock to sitting in a plant pot
'Mum knew I had my work cut out for me and she was right as he was having none of that.
'Her husband loved gardening so I asked her if he had a large, good looking flower pot to place her son in and she found his favourite clay pot which was not being used at the time.

Snug as a bug in a rug: This cute tot looks very comfortable nestled in a fleecy rug
'I carefully placed the baby on it upright using blankets and padding to hold him in place - I even had a hat that matched the colours of the pot wonderfully.
'Mum was so excited she literally jumped up and down with happiness. And dad was also very pleased about that choice of prop.'
