Newborn In Studio

I was glad we could squeeze in this newborn session the day before Christmas Eve. This beautiful little baby girl was just two weeks old. At holiday time children show us the joy of the season in many ways. What could be more joyful than the arrival of a new baby. I hope this family had a wonderful Christmas together.

We have been taking a break from the studio this past week so we can spend this special time with our kids. Mike and I worked hard to get holiday orders to people right up to Christmas Eve and we are back now preparing outstanding proof galleries and working on print orders. For those families waiting on orders or galleries we will be in contact early in the new year.

We would like to send our clients our very best wishes for 2011. We look forward to seeing some of you again for your portraits in the new year.

Winter Family Outdoor Shoot

We had a temperature near zero at the time of this session and had to wrap up in coats and scarves in between shots but it was well worth it. Im starting to really like early Winter outdoor light. This was a fun shoot with a great family. After the session it was their main mission to find a cafe for a very hot drink. Hope their mission was accomplished!

The Unplanned Moments

Here’s a snapshot of a newborn/family shoot from last week. I like to work on specific baby poses for newborn sessions but sometimes there are unplanned moments that make the most intimate special portraits. The first one is just this. I love this image!

It was great seeing this family again. I photographed the eldest boy when he was a newborn. He’s now growing up into one supercute energetic guy. His little brother was not on for sleeping during this session. I guess there was too much going on to interest him. I think these two brothers are going to form quite a partnership!

Six Week Old In Studio

This lovely six week old boy was a visitor to my studio last week. Although we couldn’t focus on the typical newborn shots ( first two weeks of life) it was still a great chance to capture some memories. He was awake for the whole session and showed himself to be a very mellow little guy!

These 8 month old twins were certainly great company in studio recently. They kept us busy and we had lots of fun. Mom and dad are currently enjoying viewing their proof gallery from this session. Our blog posts are a little behind schedule as we are presently working hard to fulfill our clients holiday print orders. We are still booking session this month but unfortunately cannot have portraits ready for the holidays.

Third Time Lucky?

This was my third session with this little girl. The quote, “Third Time Lucky” sprung to mind as I was typing this entry. Really though, I never need luck when photographing this little girl. She’s really super to be around.  She rather felt like asserting her independence in studio this time. A sign she’s growing up I think! We got some smiles from her though. The second portrait was taken whilst we played a little game of peepo. I like playing games with toddlers. Although when I have to take photographs at the same time I always wish I had four hands.
