James and his family

James worked the camera like a pro, though I think he really wanted to try take the photos himself. Dan was hesitant at first but then played the game and we got some great smiles. Gorgeous family, thanks guys!

   

   

   

Ruby

I am so lucky to have been able to snuggle with Ruby last weekend! She was just 10 days old and so beautiful. I love every detail about newborn babies; their button noses (including those tiny white milia spots), their rosebud lips, teeny fingers with peeling skin, arm skin rolls, and their feet! What is it about babies feet? Ruby's chin was what got me, I don't know why, it was just so small and delicate!

I love that I can photograph babies in their own home so they feel nice and comfortable. I really love photos that reflect real life for these families. But saying that, I also did some posey baby photos with Ruby to show her beautiful nudey cuteness.  I found it really hard to choose just a few photos, so here are a whole lot.

I couldn't decide between these first two similar photos... headband on or off?

 

 

 

Clearly everyone is a LOT excited about this arrival.

Lucas

Lucas loved the camera so much he refused (for the most part) to let his mum and dad get any camera action! It took a bit longer, but he finally let me get some family shots too. I think he must know how squishable and model-worthy his cheeks and big brown eyes are. Also, it was his birthday weekend so he could do what he wanted.  Here are some of my favourties.

This was the last photo of the day, I think Lucas was over having my camera in his face!
