welcome to Lucy

Erin and James and big sister Ella came to the studio with their precious

new bundle, Lucy. I would like to share a few of their pics from the newborn

sitting they had

above: Lucy. In tears. Babies cry, and some of my favourite pics have been

the result of crying when it comes to newborns. The best thing about it is

they look like they are making a lot of noise, but the cute newborn cry is so

soft.

above: Lucy. From one extreme to another!

above: Lucy. Settled and oh so sweet.

above: Lucy. Wake up time now? What a sweetheart.

above: James & Lucy. A tender moment with Dad & Daughter.

above: Miss Ella. Maybe feeling a little overwhelmed, but she definately

dotes on her baby sister.

Thank you James & Erin, was definately a pleasure to take these for you.

Kids Club: Abigail

A few of my favs from Miss Abigails Kids Club Shoot.

Abbey is definately one of the most placid babies I have ever had the pleasure to photograph! She is a true sweetheart

And it is not everyday we get the chance to put a baby in log

And we made a baby Hammock :)

Abbey is going to be a regular kids clubber, so I am looking fowards to photographing her journey through her first few years and beyond

Gaige

Rebecca & Roy came into the studio with daughter Akira and their 6 week old daughter Gaige. Gaige was not having a good day at all, she was extremely upset and cried for about 95% of the time they were with me. Which meant, when she stopped, I had to be quick!

Working with Babies is always unpredictable and you need to be on your toes. But getting the moments is easy because babies are so pure. You don't have to contend with overworked smiles or anything like that, you get what they give you, which is always gorgeous

Baby Love

I really enjoy photographing newborns in natural light. I have a little space next to the studio with nice windows, its a little hallway and its a dump. People must have nightmares when I drag them in there for their pics - but, the surrounds don't make it into the photo, but the beautiful light is why I am there! People generally like to come and have studio type black and whites done of their newborns, which is fine, and people always love those, but I always prefer my time spent one on one with the baby , with the 50mm lens and real light.

This beautiful baby is Abigail. She was such a good girl! Babies can be challenging sometimes, but it just takes a little patience and you can always get what you need from them, because the thing you do want to capture is their innocence. And that's EASY cause that's all they know ;P

above: I like Abi peeking out from behind her arm in this one. She like most newborns forever have their hands touching their faces - its so new to them, why wouldn't they be intrigued!

I don't like props much, but simple things can add something on occasion without taking away from the subject

Enjoy xo
