Sneak Peek – First Newborn from a Maternity Session!

Last weekend, I made another trip to a client I have visited before – last month in fact! Does anything about this photo trigger any memories for you?

This gorgeous baby belongs to this gorgeous mother! Here’s a link to that session in fact.

At the time of this new session, this adorable little girl was just five days old, and so tiny and sweet. Here she is with her mother L!

Despite being only five days old, this as-yet-unnamed (I can empathise – it took us three weeks to name our first!) beautiful little girl was wide awake for most of the session, so I got plenty of photos of her gorgeous big eyes.

Like last time, the mother, L, was game for all sorts of props and poses, so I got to try out plenty of the things I bring with me! She is clearly already a wannabe Princess – she seemed very taken with the tutu, and clearly likes roses!

We also tried her in a hat. This very sweet hat, like the one used in this newborn session here, was handmade by Jo at Halobaby who makes many gorgeous and cute baby things!

Finally I had a chance to try her out in the cocoon:

This was the first time I’ve met a newborn from a maternity session, so it was a real privilege. It was such great fun working with L and her family – thank you, and your mother too, for being such good sports, super helpful and very enjoyable to work with!

Sneak Peek – L Maternity in Portable Studio

This weekend I finally had the chance to do my first maternity session! L found me via Google, and is 36 weeks along with her first baby. I could not have asked for a better model – not only is she very beautiful but she was game for everything I suggested and had some great ideas of her own too!

Also present was the proud father L, who was a great assistant when I needed one, as well as a fantastic model with L too!

And last, but not least, I must not forget Winston, their gorgeous family dog. One of the things he loves the most is resting his head on L’s tummy.

The excited parents-to-be are one of those rare couples who do not know whether the baby will be a boy or a girl! I can’t wait to find out either.

I recently invested in a portable backdrop system for use in homes where there isn’t enough room for a full studio (which in London is most homes!) Although it was still a bit cramped, this system is perfect for regular portraits such as these, or for children that don’t escape too far..

I leave you with a stunning pose that I am still in awe L was able to do this far along!

It was a genuine pleasure working with L and L and Winston, and I am very much looking forward to hearing about your new arrival!
