Poppy | Family session

As promised, some more pictures of the adorable Poppy, who was three weeks old when I got to photograph her. Poppy was definitely the most relaxed baby customer I’ve ever had, so relaxed in fact that we couldn’t really get her to wake up at all during the session! But I think her chilled attitude kind of adds some extra cuteness to the proceedings.

Meet Poppy, who defines the term ‘chillax’. :D More later.

Alice | Family session

This, like the shoot with Jodie, wasn’t quite a ‘newborn’ shoot any more since Alice as well is already 10 weeks old. Usually I recommend newborn shoots to take place within the first 1-2 weeks purely because it’s easier for the lil’un. At only days old, rather than weeks, babies are not really that aware of what’s happening. Thus they don’t really mind that much playing the supermodel, unlike a bit older babies who are more aware that something is required of them but can’t understand what, which would make anyone a bit cranky (not to mention the stripping you nekkid and pointing a camera at you bit)! Louise and Matt certainly worked hard to get Alice to give me some absolutely adorable smiles, and boy was it well worth it. I don’t care what you say, you just can’t help but adore this little angel!

Jodie | Family session

Penny and Rob contacted me as they wanted to get some family portraits of the three of them with their daughter Jodie, and to get a record of this special time in their lives in general. At 10 weeks old Jodie wasn’t quite sure about the whole photo shoot malarkey, but it was still pretty impossible to take non-cute photos of this cutie – just look at those eyes! Thanks Penny and Rob for letting me take a peek into your family life, hopefully Jodie wasn’t too traumatised by the demands of the model lifestyle!

Lucinda | Newborn

I’m very sorry if I’ve just killed you with cuteness. You can now sympathise with how I felt editing these pictures, it was pretty much impossible not to go awwwww every few seconds. :D You will probably remember how I took some maternity portraits of Sarah & Steve at the start of July. Well, Lucinda Rose Hooton arrived fashionably late on the evening of Wednesday 22nd of July, and she did her first professional photo shoot when just 8 days old. And I have to tell you that she was one of the most agreeable models I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She smiled her way through most of the shoot, and only peed on mum once. Her only complaint was that it got a bit chilly when she was modeling in the buff, but all in all she was a little angel. And will you just look at those perfect little feet! <3
