Sneaky Peek | Baby Liam

He made me work nice and hard this one.  I personally think he knows a good thing when he’s got it, and was enjoying all the extra cuddles.  I can hardly blame him for protesting every time we tried to put him down and sneak the nice, warm blankie off him. I’d have been the same. But what’s great about these bubs that don’t do quite what we expect them to is they keep me on my toes.  And I get to capture them as they are, which I just love – it really is at the heart of my photography.  As much as I love the posed, sleepy, deep breath *sigh* inducing photographs of newborns, and as much as I will aim to capture some of these each session, it just doesn’t always work.  Baby rules the roost as far as these sessions go, and I simply follow their lead.  Happily.

What I love about this session was the connection between little Liam and his mummy and daddy.  I adored watching him search them out, and engage with them.  I love how laid back they all were, and how comfortable and natural they were as a new family of four. And I felt grateful to be able to record a brief moment in their lives, as they were.  As I look through the images from the day I know that’s what they reflect.  And that makes me happy.

Thank you so much, Natasha and Andrew for having me over.  It really was a pleasure to spend time with you all – you have a beautiful family. And you would seriously have to be amongst  the most relaxed and calm people I know (which comes in handy when I get thrown out by roadworks on the way and end up running half an hour late…. please tell me you weren’t stressing in secret…  🙂 )  Here’s a few of my favourites so far.  I just love the first shot – I wish I had one like this with my own children.

And don’t you just love these little feet.  I just wanna munch on them!  🙂

I hope he slept well after I left, guys.  It would be pretty typical.  😉
