My beautiful niece

I really am quite lucky to have the most gorgeous nieces and nephews ever. It's a shame some of them live overseas and I don't get to see them in real life much. But Freya lives close by so I was lucky enough to get some snaps for her FIRST birthday! Happy birthday beautiful Freya xxx

Lewis

Here's another new wee man, and a first baby for this lovely family. I was supposed to have been doing maternity photos for them, but I left it too late, and Lewis decided he'd arrive three weeks early! They had only just arrived home from living in Aussie for over a year, and hadn't even had their home furniture delivered! But they seemed to be nicely settled in their warm home when I got to meet up with them to take these photos a few days before Lewis's due date. 

 

 

Oscar

Welcome to the world little Oscar! You are very lucky to have such a lovely big sister to give you lots of cuddles. Sweet dreams.

     

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.
