I had the pleasure of having N and W back in the studio with their brand new little boy. Mr. C was such a charmer, staying awake for quite a bit of the session, but just relaxing and being happy. I always count my blessings when I get to shoot new babies in my studio, as I get my cuddles and coos. It’s been 5 years since my youngest was a baby, so I’m always glad to snuggle with the little ones for the short time I see them.
Enjoy Mr. C’s sneak peek:
It just came to me that I have only been photographing newborns for 3 1/2 years. It’s such a part of my life and work now that, to me, it feels like I’ve been doing it forever. My spare room is stuffed full of baskets, blankets, hats, fabrics, and when I walk through stores I look at things and wonder, “Can I put a baby into that?”
Here is a look-back at one of my very first newborn shoots, and then a comparison to one from a few weeks ago. I think I’ve come a long way!
When Carla contacted me to do her newborn photos, I was excited. Then she told me she had two other children and I was over the moon! I love incorporating siblings into newborn shoots, and capturing the new addition with the whole family. Her two older children were dreams… played in the playroom or my sons rooms with barely a peep while little Miss G slept peacefully on in my studio.
Here are some of my favourites from the session…
love those newborn smiles
sibling cuddles
aren’t they just adorable?
