.New Life.

What better way to bring in a new season by capturing the beauty of a new life.  A tiny, sweet, precious, kissable new creation.
Annabel’s mum booked me for her newborn session back at the end of June.  It’s great to work with someone so organised, but it meant I had to wait 2 whole months to meet their beautiful little daughter.  I guess they’d been waiting a lot longer than me though.  🙂

It was an absolute pleasure to capture Annabel in the first week of her life.  As both mum and dad commented, and I’ve seen countless times, it’s incredible how much they change even in that short space of time.  I love walking away from photographing a newborn knowing that I have captured a stage in their life, a brief moment of time, that is far too fleeting. Those few hours, though, have been stopped still, to pause and relect on. To wonder apon. To marvel at. For all time.  How incredible is that.  It fills me up with such joy, surrounded by warm and fuzzy butterflies.

Admittedly I was a bit fearful at the start of the session that we weren’t going to get the shots we were after. Miss Annabel had decided that the strange lady in her home was much more interesting than sleep.  She kept us on tippy toes for a good long while before she figured I wasn’t that exciting after all, and drifted off into a deep and peaceful sleep. She was as good as gold, both awake and asleep, and we managed some beautiful images of her after all. So many actually that I had trouble sorting through them and decided which few to share here for mum and dad.  I’ve narrowed them down to these for now – can’t wait to hear what you think of them Emma and Stuart.  She really is beautiful. Truly.  You’re very blessed.
