Oliver was 7 weeks new when he visited me, but as he had surprised his family 5 weeks early, it was like working with a two week old. He was such a dream!
He slept right through his family photos with Mum and Dad, and oh my gosh they are some of the cutest snuggly photos!
Next up were photos with his big brother Jackson. Jackson is 22 months and so full of curiosity! His favourite game while they were here was pulling the tissues out of the box, which he isn't allowed to do at home, but since I only had a few left I said "Go for it!" and we were best friends after that.
His face when he got to cuddle his new little brother - priceless! He was so excited, so proud and so enthralled with little Oliver. No kisses, but he did pretend to pick his little brothers nose for him. Boys. What else would you expect?
Oliver slept so well during his session, I really wasn't sure how it would go as it can be unpredictable working with preemie babies. Sometimes they are like a newborn, sometimes they are more awake as you would expect from an older baby. Oliver was just like working with a newborn. He was still curly and sleepy and just a delight to photograph with those beautiful long lashes and chubby cheeks!
He had some awake time in the middle of the session too so we were able to capture some photos of his stunning blue eyes. They make me laugh sometimes, when they look all around and pull the most funny faces, I imagine hilarious stories running through their heads that they are reacting to.
We had a few disagreements about finger placements during his last sleepy photos. I was all like "Put your fingers straight and soft!" and he was all "No, I will curl them tight as I please!". We worked through our differences. I'm not going to say that he won, but... I rarely win those arguments.
All up it was a lovely morning with this gorgeous family, a real pleasure to photograph two beautiful boys who I just know will be best friends forever.
