I love when families return with new babies, and since I remember "baby" Isla's session as a favourite from the past I was extra excited to hear from this beautiful family that they had welcomed a new baby boy, Samuel.
This was a session all about the family connection. Lots of family photos and sibling photos with just a few on Samuel on his own.
Big sister Isla had brought her A game to the shoot, lots of sweet little smiles for me and adorable kisses for her new baby brother.
When her mum had the idea to create the pram photo Isla was so excited, until she realised that she didn't get to actually push him in the pram, for safety reasons.
I take this image in two steps, one with the toddler pushing an empty pram and then we send the sibling out and place the newborn baby into the prop with parent hands stabilising it the whole time, then I stitch the photos together in photoshop to create the final image.
Safety is such an important part of my workflow and the first thing I consider when working with babies and children.
So with safety in mind, Isla had her turn with the pram, then promptly wheeled it out of the room.
Thankfully, my mother in law has sent me two identical prams (my 2 girls each got one for their second birthday, and yes they are still toys when they are not props!) and so I can bring in the second pram for the second photo while toddlers wheel the first pram out to the play area and find a doll to put in it.
She is such a doting big sister and I have no doubt little Samuel will be her best friend and biggest ally in no time at all!
