Oscar - Brisbane Newborn Photographer


Baby Oscar. 

Adorable. Frowny. Snuggly. Delightful. Charming. 

He snuck into the studio in silence as his parents and I said our hellos. He snuggled peacefully on dads chest as we did paperwork and set up for the session. 

He settled into mums arms easily as we went through family photos. 

We soon found out that Oscar liked to be wrapped tight. So I wrapped him tight and settled him onto the bean bag for a sleepy photo.  He was just gorgeous laying there sound asleep. Until he wasn't... 


Yes Oscar kept a close eye on me the whole session. As hard as I tried to get him into a deep sleep, he just kept checking in to see how things were coming along.  

It wasn't a problem though, I just added more wrapped setups and snuggled him tight and he was happy enough, although always listening. 

At one point we thought he really was in a deep sleep and perhaps we could move on to the "sleeping on beanbag" photos, but it turned out he wasn't. He was still awake and he was not happy when we tried to move him onto his side. A quick cuddle and he was content again, but we had been told!

To finish the session we did my neutral toned signature setup and guess what... Oscar was so happy! 

Chilled out, reclining on the soft materials (no fluff!) he was chatting and looking around at all that he could see. Those beautiful eyes locking right on my camera and enabling me to capture the most stunning images of his inquisitive little face. 

And that was the end of the day! Oscar was dressed in his comfy clothes again and he quickly settled into his carseat for the drive home.

Baby Nadia - Brisbane Newborn Photographer



I was so excited to hear from this lovely family that they were expecting a baby girl - their newborn session with little Rick from just last year was awesome!

My excitement multiplied when they sent me a photo of Nadia before our session - oh my stars her eye lashes!! And a beautiful little pout to match - I was steeling myself for this shoot just in case my heart couldn't handle so much sweetness in one little person. 

With 16 month old Rick in tow, we started the session wiht family photos, and he was such a little trooper! Calm, happy, content to watch his baby sister getting cuddles, then he came in quite happily for his photo wiht everyone too. 

He was a bit wriggly when it came to having a snuggle for himself, so we changed it up and laid his baby sister on the beanbag so he could come and give her kisses as he liked, and he certainly liked!  

Her mum had asked for lots of girly flowery styling so I had a lot of fun doing some new setups for the first time.  First we did some simple white tulip imagery, then some colourful pinks. 

She was a quite aware of everything that was going on around her, but she settled quickly into each pose on the beanbag - her mum very excited to get a photo of her in the tutu. It was so cute how she was breathing in a deep sleep and the tutu was rising and falling with her breathing. 

With the session all wrapped up in near record time we farewelled each other all agreeing it had been such a wonderful morning, everyone - including 16 month old Rick and 3 week old Nadia, had enjoyed it so much!

Oliver and Henry - Brisbane Baby Photographer


Oliver and Henry are identical twins. Thankfully, they came dressed in different outfits so for at least half of the session I could tell who was who.

We knew the boys would run out of smiles by 10am so we worked as quickly as possible to get a great variety of images in their gallery before their morning nap time crept up.

Family photos and parent photos out of the way we moved on to photos of the boys together in they really cute sailor suits.  They have recently learnt to crawl so it was quite the job trying to keep them in one place for their photos!  There are tons of images where Oliver has crept forward or Henry has gone sideways - all with a cheeky grin.

Henry soon became concerned with the texture of the fluffy mat and so I changed it up and did a new setup with a softer mat underneath. We gave the boys a little teddy bear to hold to try and keep them still for this one, but Oliver preferred to play "Dropsie" with it. Every time he would throw the little teddy, his mum would hand it back and he would laugh hysterically! It was the cutest thing.

Next, to bring some colour into their gallery we did a powder blue fluffy photo.

Now I have to confess, the boys were now naked and this was the point at which I started getting confused about who was who.

So, the first one to have a turn on the blue fluffy mat (and I want to say it was Henry, but I really am not sure) loved it. He lay there, relaxed and happy, smiling and playing peek a boo with Dad.

The second one (and for consistency sake, I will say Oliver) was not such a fan. We tried three separate times to get him to lay back and relax on the fluff and each time he was very clear that he did not like it.

So I changed tack again, and we set up a basket photo on the dark wood. This time Henry (I think)  had first turn and was neither happy nor bothered about the basket.  He was a bit like "Oh. A basket hey? Ok. Whatever." and just sat there looking around.

But when it came to (probably) Oliver's turn in the basket, it was another story. Now, Oliver had not been keen on the blue fluff, or the white fluff. But there was no fluff touching him here. He sat in the basket, he was not sure about it until... he found he could rock it like a rocking horse.

Before you know it he was rocking and giggling and having the time of his life!

Next minute, Henry realises that he has missed out on some fun! So we put the boys in the basket together and got some of the cutest photos of the day.  Until Oliver realised he wasn't able to rock the basket as much with his brother in there and started protesting again. With Henry removed he enjoyed one last rock before we pulled him out.

Thankfully the rocking basket had lifted his mood just enough hat we were able to capture an image of him on the blue fluff to match the one we had gotten earlier of his brother.

The final shots of the day were "Superman" swings. Now, I want to say that the boys enjoyed this. I think they did, there were smiles and grins. There were also quavering hands as they were swinging - hopefully from excitement and not fear! Either way they seemed to enjoy the end of the shoot and that was the end of the session!

Gautier Family - Brisbane Family Photographer



As we met at the gorgeous location of Bunya Crossing Reserve, the boys were chilling out in the car while their mum and said our hellos. 

Im used to kids not being interested in me, or even shy of me when we start a session but it never takes long for them to relax and open up. 

As we walked through the gorgeous bush tracks I chatted with Jaxon about animals, there were so many around us, bush turkeys scuffling in the undergrowth, turtles bobbing their heads out of the water to see what the fuss is today. Jaxon got a bit of a fright looking into the water at one point as he thought there was a crocodile waiting to lunge out... but it was just a submerged tree trunk. 

After getting the hard part out of the way, that being the first family photo - Jaxon was straight off up a rock wall as I spent some time talking and photographing younger brother Hudson. 

Hudson was such a character, full of over-the-top smiles where his eyes were so crinkled you couldn't even see out of them anymore! 

We called Jaxon back down from the rock wall and he went and sat with his dad at the river side and looked for turtles and threw rocks as far out as they could. The splashes made the water sparkle and twinkle in the late winter sun, gosh its such a pretty time of year for photos! 

So full of energy the boys bolted off further up the track, I took my eyes off them for a moment while I changed lens on my camera and next time I looked up they had both jumped the rails of the boardwalk and were exploring underneath it! Got to love boys and their fearless explorations. 

We pulled them back up to the boardwalk and let them climb over the rails which they both loved - especially since this meant they were nearly as tall as Dad! 

Back to the waters edge for the last-light photos and a new competition. Theres an old tree that sticks out above the river level and within seconds of seeing it the boys were throwing rocks to see who could hit it first. Next thing you know a rock comes hurling over our heads as Dad has a go too! 

I love having fun with the kind of energy these boys brought and so we did a bit of a crazy photo to end the session - and it turned out to be one of my absolute favourite ever family photos! Hudson's Dad was flying flying him around with his arms outstretched like an aeroplane and his Mum and older brother Jaxon were racing and laughing in the background, then I applied a cool effect to look give a 3D feel to the image and it was just magic!

Willows First Birthday - Brisbane Family Photographer



We met at the gate to the Mt Coot-tha Gardens almost a year from the day we met the first time, when Willow's parents were waiting to meet her. 

Their maternity session was a gorgeous afternoon out and this first birthday session was a stunning winters morning. 

We went to a few of the same spots that we had photographed at the maternity session and recreated some of the images. I loved that Willows dress had a similar floral design to the one her mum wore back then. 

She had me laughing as she cuddled mum but was reaching for dad, so they passed her over and then as soon as she was cuddling her dad she was reaching back for her mum! 

She loved her mums necklace too, constantly finding the pendant on the end and playing with it. 

As we walked through the gardens her parents were pointing out all the birds, spiders and butterflies to her. There was one little garden by a tree that was such a beautiful spot, some of the maroon flowers echoing the colours in her dress and the soft undergrowth giving the photo the feel of a fairy garden. 

We came across some bright yellow bamboo and used that as a backdrop for a really bright family photo before heading to the jetty by the lake to finish the session beneath the two Willow trees.

She loved playing peek a boo between the jetty balustrades and looking into the water. We finished the session with one of my favourite images (because its usually one of the little ones favourite images) where dad lifts them high into the air. It is nearly guaranteed great smiles, and Willow loved it! 

I loved this image because theres the halo of sunlight behind her golden hair and the Willow tree was softly rusting behind her, framing her beautiful beaming face. 

It was such a wonderful way to end not the session, but also to wrap up the past year of sessions. I was so honoured to capture Willows journey from bump to first birthday and to have enjoyed spending so much time with her lovely parents in the past year also.

Baby Landon - Brisbane Newborn Photographer



I was so excited to have this family back in the studio! 

Two years ago I photographed Honor's newborn session and it is still one of my favourite ever newborn sessions with so many sweet images. 

So when she came back with her new little brother I could not wait to meet and photograph them together! 

Honor had other ideas. 

This kid is hilarious by the way. She has such a personality, she knows what she wants and happily goes about having it. She quickly introduced me to "Baby Landy" as they arrived then, carrying her favourite toys from In The Nightgarden, she just went right on through the studio to find the toys in the presentation room, a backwards wave of her hand to dismiss me, not even looking back. 

My attention turned to the baby carrier and wow - Baby Landy is adorable! 

Lucky that, since he was not planning to sleep much while here, which makes posing and photographing a little more tricky for me as a photographer. However he came out with the sweetest smiles and such strong eye contact it was an incredible session all the same. 

Since we started with some photos of Honor by herself I thought maybe we could do the sibling photo up first while she was in the mood for photos. 

"Hey Honor! Why don't you have a cuddle with Baby Landon?" 

"No no no." 

Dad had brought his Sea Hawkes beanie that we had photographed at Honor's newborn session and it barely fit over Landons head! He's only 2 and a half weeks old but he has already grown so much. His mum said it had been loose when he was just born! 

"Hey Honor! Why don't you have a cuddle with Baby Landon?" 

"No no no." 

Finally Landon fell asleep and we got some sleeping on the beanbag photos in the tiny window that he gave us, however as soon as we moved him to the second pose he was not having it so it was time to try the final setup before calling it a day. 

"Hey Honor! Why don't you have a cuddle with Baby Landon?" 

"No no no." 

Landon re-settled into the final setup and even dozed back into a light sleep so I photographed him in the set. It was one of my favourite images from Honor's newborn session so I was so glad to have them both peacefully sleeping in the same set.  It was now time to end the shoot and we still didnt have that elusive sibling photo. 

"Hey Honor! Why don't you have a cuddle with Baby Landon?" 

"No no no." 

She was happily playing with the Peppa Pig toys and so we asked if she would like to take them over to show Landon.

We all collectively held our breath... 

She did! She had an armful of Peppa Pig figurines, another character in her hand, but she went to her brother and had a quiet talk with him about them.  It was glorious. It was sweet and it was real.  And it was a sibling photo with a great story to tell for years to come.

Baby Thomas - Brisbane Newborn Photographer




I must admit, I had some pre-concieved ideas about how this shoot was going to go. 

After speaking with little Thomas' mum earlier in the week and discussing how older brother Oliver was not doing too well since his little brothers arrival, I had prepared myself for tantrums and meltdowns, crying, coercing, begging and bribing.  And all that preparation was in actuality, not necessary at all. 

Oliver was quite sure when he arrived that he did not want his photo taken. Ok, I said, no problem. We will just do some photos with everyone else. 

This tact usually works when the little ones realise they are being left out. 

Oliver did not mind. He was quite happy playing with the toys and was not having any part of the shoot. 

So I pulled out the big guns. I called in Nemo. 

Nemo is the Pez dispenser that sits on top of my camera and dispenses little lollies when he gets "very best smiles". And he works so well. Just the sight of Nemo was enough to excite Oliver, Dad picked him up and the very first click was the perfect family photo. The FIRST CLICK!!! Three extras for safety and that was the quickest toddler include family photo I have ever captured - and we thought he wouldn't have a bar of it! 

Lolly dispensed we sent him off for a play while we did a few more photos with Dad, and soon enough it was time for the dreaded sibling photo. 

But once more, Oliver was very excited at the idea of a Nemo lolly and he laid down perfectly for a photo on his own, he held his little brother in a perfect cuddle, smiled to camera and even gave little Thomas a kiss on the head. And that was one of the quickest sibling photos I have ever captured - especially with a tao older who did not want any photos taken! 

Man I love Nemo. 

His Nanny had come all the way from Scotland to meet little Thomas and had joined us at the session so Oliver and Nanny had a wonderful morning playing with the toys and watching Pirate movies in the presentation room while we finished the session. Im sure they both enjoyed the quiet time together. 

In studio we were racing through all the photos as Thomas was such a sound sleeper. We did a beautiful photo of him on the same heirloom blanket that we had used 3 years ago in Oliver's session.  

It only became a little unstuck when on the beanbag he was not a fan of bringing his elbows forward for the close up of his face, and we had to let that image go, but every other photo we tried for he was the perfect model. 

With everything wound up in time for lunch I congratulated Oliver again on being such a rockstar and he was so happy. Mum confided she had been concerned about how everything was going to play out at the session and in the end it was one of the most calm, peaceful and enjoyable mornings they have had since little Thomas was born. Everyone enjoyed their time, especially 3 year old Oliver!

Baby Henry - Brisbane Newborn Photographer



Ive met enough young boys to know what to expect from them, especially brothers! Lots of energy, laughter, curiosity, exploration and always cheekiness. 

And this family now have three of them! 

So as the car pulled in for this shoot I had expected the car doors to burst open and erupt with two energetic young boys racing out into the garden, but instead I was softly greeted by two sweet little faces, saying their polite hellos and patiently waiting as their parents got their newborn baby brother out of his carseat.

I immediately reset my idea of how this session was going to go, and wow were these boys great!

Their Grandma had also come for the session which was great because it meant that Mum and Dad could completely enjoy the experience with new little Henry and the boys had a great time playing with all the toys with their Grandma.

Little Henry had arrived 4 weeks early but was doing very well to be home from hospital within a week and here for his photos at just 8 days old.

Their family photos were done in record time - especially considering there were two kids under 4 included!

Next we wrapped little Henry up and snuggled him onto a handmade blanket that the other nanna had crocheted just for him. Its seriously so beautiful, just take a look at the delicate lace detailing on there. Divine.

We pulled the boys back in to have a quiet chat to little Henry and they had a lovely time whispering "trucks" and "diggers" to him. You can see these boys are going to be best friends by choice, bound by love and not just blood.

They snuggled down for a cuddling photo too and biggest brother Sam took on his responsiblitily of "Eldest Brother" very well, stretching his arm right behind both of his little brothers, while middle brother Jack had a sweet little snuggle just around new Henry. Oh this photo is for sure one of my all time favourites.

The boys were free to head off with Grandma for some morning tea and more playing while we finished off Henry's photos which included the blue circular patterned mandala and a gorgeous neutral setup on the beanbag.

Henry wasn't too sure about settling right down for us. He didnt cry and he wasn't really awake, he was just aware of everything.  After the session had ended, he still hadnt dropped off for a solid sleep so as I waved everyone off I hoped very much that they would all enjoy a well deserved afternoon nap!

Mabel - Brisbane Newborn Photographer



As Mabel was being un-buckled from the car her big sister Eleanor burst into the studio full of questions and smiles. Its been a while since I last saw Eleanor and it was such a delight to see her now as a gorgeous bubbly toddler. 

Since Mabel was hungry after they arrived, we started with photos of Eleanor on her own - and she loved being the centre of attention! She has the sweetest smile, starting off a little shy then bursting out into the most generous and joyous ear-to-ear grin that even reached her eyes. 

After these, and while Mabel was still feedings, we started setting up some of the sets for the rest of the session. I love doing this with the family once they are here so that we can create setups that are exactly the style that your family will love. 

As soon as Eleanor saw the vine nest from David Lam Designs she got so excited! She wanted a photo with the nest as well! So we did her a special photo in the nest before Mabel had her turn. 

With Mabel fully settled we moved on to photos with her Mum. We had done a maternity session a few weeks beforehand and so the first image we did was the "Before/After" photo combining an image from her maternity session and newborn session together to create one special  timelapse image. 

Next we pulled Dad in, then Eleanor again and before long we had finished all family photos with Mabel sleeping almost the whole way through. 

The sibling photos with Eleanor were so gorgeous! She took a little bribing (to be fair she was getting tired by this stage) but with a little help from my Nemo pez dispenser that clips to my camera, she laid down on the fluffy blanket and enjoyed her snuggles with her beautiful little sister, even kissing her and whispering to her. 

It was time to get Mabel naked now and as her Mum was changing her I nipped out to grab my water bottle. Next moment there was a shreik from the studio and both Dad and I ran in.

"Whats happened?" Says Dad.

"This is what happened!" Says Mum. 

Poor Mum was sat with sweet little Mabel in front of her,  a generous sized poo squirted right across the gap between them to cover Mums thighs! 

It was such a mess we all took a moment to work out where to start with the cleanup! Eleanor comes in with a dress up outfit she wanted help with and we were all a bit "Uhhhh.... Just a sec... "  

Slowly we got everything all clean and sorted again and it wasn't long before we were ready to finish the session.

Since Eleanor was all done, her Dad took her to daycare while we moved on to the rest of the session. 

Pink blanket photos were up now and Mabel looked so sweet snuggled on the soft mohair blanket, almost the same colour as her deliciously chubby cheeks. 

She was not a fan of bringing her elbows forward for the head on wrists photo but she did love laying on her side and her tummy. 

With the sleepy photos all wound up it was home time and as they were packing things up Dad said "Hey, we have time to head to the city now to look at some cars!" to which Mum replied "Yes, after we swing by home for a change of clothes!"

Triple Treat - Brisbane Newborn Photographer




I was beyond excited to hear from this very special family after they had welcomed their new babies - my first ever triplet session! 

As is often the case with multiple bookings it was short notice as they had just come home from the hospital and were slowly setting into the new routines at home after around 8 weeks in care. 

So when Mackenzie, Alexis and Rhys arrived with their big brother Clayton, mum and Nanny in tow they were about the size of your average newborn. 

It was a huge credit to their mum that despite the big change that these gorgeous little ones had brought to their family, it was a peaceful and calm shoot.  The triplets were all very settled, even when they were awake it was quiet in the studio. 

As their Dad had to work on the day of the shoot we started with a photo with their amazing Mum, then brought in big brother Clayton for a photo of everyone together. He was so sweet, snuggling in to his new siblings and whispering to his Mum.  

As a back-up photo of the triplets together I had decided to start with some images that I could sew together in photoshop to create a sibling image of them all together. Using the same basket and styling in complimentary earthy coloured wraps I photographed each of the babies individually to start with. Alexis was quite awake and watching everything that was going on, Rhys a little more settled, not quite asleep, a strong fighter for awake time, and finally Mackenzie who was sleeping so peacefully she was so very happy. 

We asked Clayton if he would like to try and snuggle all three of his new siblings at one time and he was quite excited about the idea, so I got him to stretch his arms as wide as he could and one by one we placed the babies into his cuddle. He was so serious at this point, all focus on keeping the babies calm and happy. Little Rhys unsettled at one moment and he immediately swung his head from the girls over to kiss Rhys on the head and it calmed Rhys right away. My heart nearly burst in that one adorable moment. 

As Rhys was starting to get hungry we pulled him out of the photo and Clayton had some cuddles with just his sisters. 

Next we set up the beanbag for our first image of the triplets all together. We started with Rhys in the middle as he had just resettled, although still awake. We brought in the girls and as they were still in their wraps they snuggled in to each other and calmed each other in the way that only babies who have shared a womb can. 

Since the cuteness was already off the charts we then helped the girls to hold hands across their brother and all 3 of us adults in the room had little gasps at how beautiful they looked laying there, breathing and snuggling each other like that. 

Things unfortunately went a little downhill after that. Maybe because the triplets were a little more awake and aware of everything, maybe because it was getting to the end of the session and they were finished with all the fussing, but despite our very best efforts to capture another image of them all together they made it clear they were ready to go home. 

And because I always let the babies lead the session, and we really had tried our hardest to capture this last image, eventually we had to call it a day. 

These 3 little people are just so sweet beyond words. Their bond with each other and their family is already so evident by how quickly everyone in the room responded to the micro-movements, their Mum and Nanna were so incredible to watch. 

I certainly hope I get to see how these little ones grow over the coming months and years!

Isabella - Brisbane Newborn Photographer




Isabella stole my heart from the moment she arrived at the studio, bundled up on mums shoulder, all squishy 9 lbs of her! 

Isabella's Mum told me that as she was delivered the doctor said "Well, I dont think this ones a newborn - here is your kindergartener!" as a joke because she was such a big baby - in the best possible way! 

I couldn't get enough of her chubby cheeks and pouty lips and I was in photographer heaven the whole shoot! 

Big brother Alexander was such a cutie too, although not too sure about snuggling in with his sister for laying down photo he was more than happy to plant sweet little kisses on her head and whisper secrets to her while she slept peacefully on the beanbag. 

As she was settling into sleep he would do the quick little "hih hih" sounds with the shivery bottom lip that children sometimes do when they have been super upset - not that she was upset, it was just a cute little thing she did every time she dropped back off to sleep.  

As her mum loved the flowery setups I do, we created a new green and white one for Isabella and I love it so much!   Its so much fun to create personalised setups with families on the day of their shoot, and I know that with family input like that we will be creating images that the family love. 

Just when I thought I couldn't get more in love with her, we moved to the beanbag photos and the squishy level multiplied! I literally did little squeals as her rolls and chubs were all accentuated by the curly snugly poses. Gah its almost to much for me still! 

She absolutely rocked her session and I love every single image so much, I think I may be her biggest fan.. after her mum, dad and big brother of course.

Shaw Family - Brisbane Family PHotographer




I like things to be perfect. Perfect weather for example. 


Driving to this family session, the skies were dark on one side of the car and light on the other. 

My heart rate speeds up.  Worry starts to niggle. 

Ten minutes from the beach location it started raining on my car.  I start giving myself a pep talk "This is a good thing. We aren't at the beach yet. Maybe its not raining at the beach. If a shower is going to fall at least it is falling now and not during your shoot". 

I get so worked up over these little things! 

As it turned out (and as it usually does) I shouldn't have been worried at all. 

The weather was ah-may-zing for this family session! 

The stormy clouds made for such a gorgeous backdrop, diffusing the afternoon light in the most beautiful way.  The could even broke apart every so often, letting stunning rays of light through, adding golden streams to an already idyllic, wind free afternoon. 

Tabitha and her partner Julie were first to arrive with their gorgeous daughter Neveah - and oh my gosh this 4 year old has the best eye lashes, I seriously did a double take!
The rest of the family weren't far behind and we set off right away to get the session underway. 

Sister Kala had just arrived that morning from New Zealand so everyone nominated her to go first. 

As every family does, there was a lot of ribbing during the session laughing at each others expense and making those "sweet intimate moment" photos about as awkward as possible for each other. 

The sky was just getting better and better as time wore on so after everyone had their first round of photos done, we headed down to a sandy spot where the out-going tide and completely wind-free evening were all coming together to provide a truly epic feel for these photos. 

I love the connection of grandparents and their little ones, so we sent Sharon and Greg off with little Neveah to look for shells in the sand. It turns out that this is one of Sharons favourite ever things to do and they were so intently looking that we had to hurry them all up to get to the right spot for the photo! 

I like to include as much variety as possible in my outdoor sessions so after the sun had completely dropped behind the horizon we quickly nipped into the gorgeous grassy area beside the beach for one last set of photos. Neveah loved swinging in her mums arms and everyone had another great time ribbing Sharon and Greg as they snuggled in for a kiss photo. 

With the daylight gone we packed up back into the cars and headed off, and I couldn't help but notice two more photographers at the beach that afternoon photographing the amazing sky at that location - and this lucky family had just had their photos with it! Talk about jagging an amazing setting!

Noah Sitter Session - Brisbane Baby Photographer

The last time I saw Noah, he looked like this:



So I couldn't believe how much he had grown in just six short months!! 


His cute cheeks were still the same, his hair just as soft and dark, but thats about where the similarities ended! 

An active little man he loved crawling and standing, holding on to chairs and his parents legs. 

He loved pulling at the fluff on the flokati blanket and chewing on anything that came into his grasp. 

His Mum had a fail-proof way to make him smile and giggle - she would pretend to sneeze!  Every single time she would do a present "Aaaahhhh-choo!" he would giggle at her, it was the best sound in the world and so cool to hear it all morning long. 

I always photograph sitting babies with clothing on as they fit their clothes well by this age, but I do still like to do one or two photos naked on a soft blanket. I dont share these photos for privacy reasons but they are so cute, their little bottoms out of focus behind a big smiley face, often a few teeth just beginning to poke through. 

Sometimes the children aren't too sure of the texture of the flokati blanket and on this day, Noah was not a fan and as soon as he was laid on it he voiced his displeasure. Mum picked him up right away and he was perfectly happy once more. We even took some photos of him giggling and snuggling into his mum as she settled him and they are divine!! 

Since mum had some single photos we did some with dad too, of course dad photos are always active, throwing Noah in the air made for the best excited squeals we heard all day!  The superman hold was next and Noah loved that one just as much! 

Since we have photographed Noah at his newborn session we decided to do some images to show how much he has grown and replicated two images from that session, the sleeping on the wreath image and one of how he fits in Dads hands now.  

In my new studio space I now have a wonderful spacious garden to photograph in and on this day we decided to finish the session with a couple of outdoor photos as well. 

I can't wait to see how much more Noah has when he returns for his first birthday session in another six months time!
