When I first met these expectant parents at their maternity session I could tell it was going to be a beautiful afternoon out. We were so lucky with the weather, it was perfect that day - but also that the gardens were not too busy. You never know on a weekend, sometimes its crazy busy!
I love how this maternity session was very natural. With the quiet surrounds and soft diffused light, we were able to capture some simply gorgeous images.
They hadn't found out if they were having a boy or a girl so the excitement about meeting their little one was growing each day.
While walking around together I could really sense how much love these parents already had for their baby and how excited they were waiting for their little one to arrive.

Fast forward a few weeks and they had a little girl! A beautiful little baby named Madelyn weighing 6lb 11oz!
They warned me first thing that the previous day had been a "feeding/cuddling/not much sleeping" day but that Madelyn was usually pretty settled. Well. Madelyn was not done feeding and cuddling quite yet.
She loved her snuggles for the family photos, but once we started putting together some wrapped setups she was not having a bar of it. She fought sleep to the bitter end.
Not that it really mattered, it meant we were able to capture some gorgeous candid faces with open eyes, sometimes these are the most interesting photos because you can see some of their personality starting to come through already.
It took hours - 3.5 hours in fact - but eventually Madelyn lost the battle with her heavy eyelids and we were able to photograph some sleepy photos in a couple of setups for her parents.
By this stage, I hadnt expected her to fall asleep to be honest. I had all but given up on getting those photos of her!

As expected, it was not long before she woke again and we drew the session to an end, but you would never know from looking at her photos all the hours and hard work that went in to capture it. There are even plenty of serene little smiles!
