A Special 6 Weeks [Brisbane Newborn Photographer]

Marcus was so excited to meet his new family that he arrived 6 weeks early. So when we photographed him at 5 and a half weeks, he was still supposed to be in his mum's tummy! It is a very special thing to hold a baby that shouldn't be breathing air yet, and Marcus is a very special, sweet little boy. 

His big sister is amazing, she loves him so much and was so excited when it was time for her to have her cuddles with him in front of my camera. 

A beautiful family inside and out, I was so honoured to capture this time for them.

That Hair! That Smile! [Brisbane Newborn Photographer]

That hair! That smile! Be still my beating heart. It is so cool to meet a baby with a strong personality so young and little Angus certainly has plenty of that already! 

I just love their family photos too, Angus even snuck a smile in with his Mum which makes for the cutest photo of them! 

The wooden nest is by Island Vine Designs and one of my most requested setups. They hand craft each one to order, so no two are alike, just like the little people we snuggle in to them. 

Remember if you are interested in booking your newborn photography session that it is best to get in touch during the second trimester. I only take on 2 newborn sessions per week so to ensure you get your preferred date it is always a good idea to pencil something in as soon as you know I am the photographer for your family!

Colour Family Photos - [ Brisbane Newborn Photographer ]

I recently stepped out of my comfort zone of black and white family photos and started offering colour photos against light backdrops. I am loving this new look! 

I have always done black and white photos for family as they help put the focus on the little newborn in the middle, but I do love colour photos too so you can now choose which option you would like for your session. Just let me know ahead of your booking so I can be ready to greet you with the correct drop up as we always start with family photos.  

Miss 2years wasn't sure about things at the start of this session but she found all her smiles when she got to cuddle her new baby brother! 

Aren't those cheeks just adorable? One of my favourite things about photographing new babies is getting in some sneaky snuggles during the session!

First Birthday - [ Brisbane Family Photographer]

FLASH FOWARD!! 

Ok so I have a confession. I have been a bit slack with my blogging and so it caught me by great surprise when this cute face turned up again just recently for his first birthday photos! As usual, we always include a family photo and sibling photos because if one little munchkin is cute, then two are adorable! 

Plus, I am always buying new props and backdrops so we can continue to capture new styles of photos at each of the sessions. 

I first photographed this little guy as at 2 weeks new and gosh he had some great hair even back then! It is so wonderful watching how these little ones grow and turn into little people with their awesome personalities and amazing smiles - and to see how their older siblings grow too. When this big sister first came for photos, she was shy of the camera and me, but by this third time she had a ball being fussed over and doted on. 

The best part about photographing families over a year is that we can create a set of milestone images to help show how much babies grow, like this one with his favourite fox toy.

Big Grins and Fairies - [Brisbane Family Photographer]

This little cutie first visited as a newborn and was back for his 6 month old shoot. How amazing is that grin?  We have been working on a special photo at each session and I can't wait to share it when we finish the set at his first birthday shoot.

His big sister and I even popped out to the fairy tree in my garden to capture a special fairy photo, a special photo available at any session. (I have a special filter for my camera that can capture the fairies when they are playing on little hands)

I love watching little babies grow into awesome little people, it has to be one of my favourite bookings when people take advantage of my "First Year" package. You get a newborn session with 20 photos in a 6"x8" album, digital birth announcement card, a Sitter Session with 10 photos around 5-8 months old and a First Birthday session with 15 photos at one greatly discounted price!

Afternoon at the Gardens

One of my favourite spots in Brisbane is the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens. Its such a lovely spot any time of the day, but especially during the late afternoon when the sun starts to filter through the trees, low in the sky. 

We wandered through a few of the tracks on this family shoot, finishing down at the main lake where a rogue duck photo-bombed us!

A Little Charmer - Brisbane Newborn Photographer

2 weeks new Dashiell was such a little charmer, a gorgeous mix of dark skin, dark hair and rosy lips, I fell a little bit in love

I love designing the session on the day of the shoot so that the family work with me to create setups that are unique to them and that they love. Dashiell's family chose this wonderful dark blue setup as well as the neutral colours, giving a wonderful mix of light and dark tones to their gallery. 

This was one of those lucky families that contacted me after baby was born and I just happened to have an open space for them to sneak in at the last minute. It doesnt happen often, so if you want to ensure your session is available please book at least 4 weeks in advance for newborn sessions. 

It is unusual for a baby to be unsettled at their photography session. The room is heated to around 30 degrees, to keep baby comfortable as they spend most of the session naked. Add to that the white noise and a full tummy and the odds are all in our favour for a sleepy baby. In the 4 years I have been photographing newborns I have yet to have a session rescheduled due to baby being so unsettled we couldn't photograph anything. 

As you can see here, Dashiell was very content and just a delight to photograph.
