I am so excited to be getting the opportunity to photograph some adorable young babies, lately I have had the joy of meeting Luke, only 2 weeks old and the perfect model with little rose bud lips.
He was quite happy to go wherever I put him. The first part of the shoot he was nice and sleepy but even when he became more aware of what was going on he just lay back and enjoyed it all.
The secret I think is keeping the room very warm.
Or have I just been lucky with perfect babies....

Yes, another perfect baby... this week I met Billy. This wee man had bright eyes and very long eyelashes.

He wasn't too much into posing, he enjoyed just lying back on the warmth deep in thought, he looked like an angel.
He was very good for a long time but then decided enough was enough, but that was ok as we had some lovely shots of him.

After posting the latest pictures on Facebook I have had so many wonderful and positive comments, I'm very excited about the future.

I couldn't think of a better job in the world, I get to spend time with very special people, who trust me to capture a moment in time, a gift that will last a lifetime and beyond.
Although I specialise in baby photography, please don't hesitate to have a chat about family and sibling portraits - just ask and we can make a plan.


This coming week I get to meet a little girl! Yay, I am so looking forward to capturing her, and also I will be shooting Luke again with his beautiful sister who is very happy to have a little brother to look after.

Have a great week

My first newborn photo session with 6 day old Dublin was so enjoyable, he made it effortless, the perfect model.  Dublin spoilt me, he was so happy, sleepy and relaxed,  such a pleasure to photograph. I am addicted now!

Leading up to this I had read many, many tutorials from new born photographers, watched youtube videos and viewed loads of photos... I was ready for anything lol. The room was as hot as the desert, sound, lighting, props, yep all ready....

I must admit I was expecting the worst,  a baby who wouldn't sleep, and I couldn't put into the positions I imagined... but little Dublin just went where he was put, woke a little and then dropped off again. He was an angel. Mum fed him half way through and he just went back to sleep. I felt a bit mean moving him around so only did a few positions and will get together with him again soon to do a few others.

Editing the photos was a great learning experience, I really enjoy this part, taking away those little baby blemishes, red skin tones, flaky skin and giving baby the soft delicate look that a newborn  photo needs, each photo has to be individually done but well worth it in the end as you can see by the photos of Dublin.

But what's most important is giving the parent something to treasure forever.
