Being at the older end of the newborn spectrum at the time of her session, Emily was a nice mix of contented alertness and sleepiness! She dozed on and off for her whole shoot, allowing some shots with and without her parents (who you might recognise from their recent matenity shoot!) and was a dream to photograph. Here are a few shots from her session.
Meet Mack, the product of this belly! I met Mack for his newborn session when he was just under a week old, and he spent a good part of it being all wide-eyed and alert. After plenty of 'awake' pictures with his parents, he settled down and I managed to get some of him having a snooze. Here's a peek at his newborn session.
At the time of Miranda's session, she was what I call an 'older newborn' - at 4 weeks old, she wasn't going to do the typical curl-up-and-sleep-on-her-tummy poses, but the upside of being nearly a month old is that we got lots of interaction with her family... and my lens! Here's a sneek peek at her session - in Mum & Dad's preference, black and white.
I visited this lovely family for a maternity session a few weeks ago, and was happy be back for the newborn shoot! Lila Rose arrived a few days past her due date, but once she decided she was coming there was no hanging around and ended up being an unplanned homebirth! Lila was quite alert on the day of her session but she had a good snooze too and was happy to be posed regardless. At the end of her session, big sister Poppy showed just how proud she is of her new baby sister. Here's a sneek peek from the session!
Baby Will arrived a little bit early... in fact, his mummy was in labour on the day we'd planned her maternity session! But instead of the bump shots, we had a fab newborn session a few days later, with Will snoozing and posing away for the majority of it. I love finding interesting props in my client's homes and this was no exception, with a round red seat and a green wicker chair to pose Will on, as well as on their sofa and bed.. and in his proud parents' arms, of course! Here's a sneek peek at his session - I had a hard time whittling it down for the blog post!
I have quite a few sessions to catch up on, and to start them off is my new nephew Samuel! I only had a quick session with him, as he was so brand new at the time and his parents were still trying to adjust to him.. but here are a few from his first time in front of the camera. I'm looking forward to doing a session with him and his cousins - my two munchkins and my niece Pheobe!
Another newborn session; another perfect subject! Miss S (as yet unnamed!) was an absolute doll for me at her shoot - she looked around inquisitively, she slept, she smiled... and she was generally just so cute! Plenty of colour in this set, with the green sofa and fabulous orange chair that we took outside into the sunny garden. I'm looking forward to seeing this pretty girl again (she should have a name by then... hehe); here is the pick from her first session.
Baby Andrew is a perfect example of why it's great to do newborn sessions as early as possible! Less than a week old, Andrew was still tightly curled up, so sleepy and perfectly content to let me move him around as much as I liked... The only challenge was trying to get a few snaps of him with his eyes open, which he obliged for less than a minute before conking out hard again! Andrew is another of my recent 'Baby & Beyond' subjects, so look out for him when he's a little older... here is a peek at his newborn session.
Yep... it's another newborn session! Kara was an unexpected session this week; she was actually scheduled for the end of July, but decided to make her appearance 6 weeks early! This pretty little lady was an absolute doll - I love how much hair she has, and those lovely chubby cheeks... I'll be seeing her again when she's a little older, but for now here are a few shots from her newborn session.
You'll be seeing a lot more of this little lady - she's the latest edition to my friend's family! Pretty little Sophia was 12 days old when I met her, and we had a very quick session with her on her own.. there will be more pictures of her with her big brother Angelo in the near future! But for now, here she is, with her tiny feet, big yawns, and the prettiest little curl at the nape of her neck. Her mummy is very glad to have a little girl to fawn over!
