We had the pleasure of photographing beautiful 9 day old baby Fionn recently. I absolutely love these images, especially the ones of Sharon, Steve & Baby Fionn cuddled up in a family embrace. As luck would have it, we happened to have a purple blanket with us to wrap Fionn up in, which matched the colour scheme & Steve’s jumper perfectly! I’ve included a little sneak peek of some of the details of Fionn’s nursery too as it was so adorable. Sharon & Steve, we hope you enjoy every minute with Fionn – he’s an absolute sweetheart.

Meet beautiful four week old Baby Aurélie – it’s such a beautiful name, don’t you think? Some days babies just want to be held & cuddled. On these kinds of days, the focus tends to be a bit more on family shots & individual shots with Mom & Dad. I really love how these shots turned out & you can definitely feel the family connection.
Also, this photo shoot is such a perfect example of why shooting in your home makes for such a unique experience. All your books, items from your travels & important keepsakes can all influence the images and give them such a personal feel. Something that in years to come will make them all the more special.

Little 2 week old baby Amelia co-operated perfectly. She was awake for the first part of the shoot & then happily went off to sleep in order for us to get the sweetest snuggled up shots of her. I love these images of her with her parents – you can just sense the tenderness & emotion they feel for her. Up to 2 weeks old is such a perfect age to photograph a newborn – they are still so tiny & curled up and they just want to be held & cuddled. There’s also the added bonus that most newborns at this age will happily go off to sleep after they’ve been fed allowing for beautiful newborn portraits.

Meet Baby Leah – the happiest, smiliest 4 week old we’ve ever photographed! People say that babies don’t really start smiling until they’re about 6-8 weeks old, but Leah wasn’t just smiling, her whole face was lighting up. I think this little girl may very well have a future career in front of the camera…..she was so aware and alert and seemed to be really enjoying having her photograph taken.
Something very special happens when you’re invited into someone’s home to witness a new family in the making. To be asked to capture a brand new, beautiful being….feels quite magical. To be allowed a glimpse of their new life & routine (or in the early days, the lack of it!). To witness the love, the smiles, the snuggles & the tears and to capture these for years to come. I don’t think I will ever take any of that for granted.
Thank you Alan & Tara ♥

Introducing baby number 2 in our recent newborn photo sessions. This is baby Rosa & I think she might just be one of the most beautiful babies ever! Look at those lips, her tiny little hands & her almost translucent skin! She looks like a little angel. I will admit to being slightly biased as Nikki & Gavin are close friends of ours, but that aside I think you’ll have to agree she’s pretty adorable! I love how proud & protective her big sisters look! Welcome into this world Baby Rosa – we’re looking forward to getting to know you as you grow to become a beautiful little girl….

We were thrilled to have the chance to photograph so many beautiful new babies over Christmas. We have three newborns to introduce you to over the next few days – the first of which is lovely baby Alex. Iwona & Krzysztof were very obviously over the moon with their new little boy judging by all the hugs, kisses & loving looks they were lavishing on him! He was very happy & chilled and seemed intrigued by the camera! Alex’s grandparents were due the day after our photoshoot so it looked like it was going to be a very happy Christmas for this new little family.

This little sweetheart was just over 2 weeks when we got to photograph her at home with her mom and dad. There’s something very special about those first few weeks when you’re home from hospital and you’re adjusting to life with your new little arrival. It’s all a little surreal, at times overwhelming, most probably sleep-deprived but most of all amazing.
Chatting with Catherine & Trevor brought the memories flooding back! The apprehension of the public health nurse’s visit! Are you doing everything ok? Has your baby put on enough weight? Lost too much weight? A constant barrage of worries but most of all it’s those early moments that you spend together as a newly formed little family unit that stay with you forever.
I really felt we were capturing something special while with Catherine, Trevor & Abbey but felt it even more so when I was looking back through the photographs after the shoot. There are glimpses of this amazing bond that’s forming between them and it was a real honour to witness it. Thanks Catherine & Trevor for inviting us into your home and we wish you much happiness with beautiful little Abbey.

Introducing gorgeous little baby Grace! We had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful 12 day old little girl last week. She was such a little sweetheart & seemed to be really enjoying her time in front of the camera. As well as capturing newborn baby portraits during a Newborn Photography Session we always try to capture the bond between parents and their new child. I love the image of Emma kissing the side of Grace’s face. You can really feel the love between mother & daughter and Grace looks so tiny & vulnerable. It’s the kind of photograph that will be wonderful to look back on in years to come and one that Grace will cherish too I’m sure when she’s a little older.
