Baby S turns 1!
This is Baby S. She is the daughter of a very good friend of mine. I photographed her last January when she was a few days old. She turned 1 recently! Just love her to bits.
Smash that cake!!
Well, ok, just play with it a little 🙂
I’ve always wanted to do one of these cake smash shoots and I’m so happy with the results. This gorgeous little girl, shall call her Miss I now as she’s no longer a baby, was one of the first babies I photographed. She’s recently turned one, so the cake smash shoot is in honour of her birthday. I’m hoping to do more of these – they’re such fun! Although a little bit of cleaning after is required 🙂
My first set of twins
This beautiful boy and girl set of twins are the first I’ve had the honour of photographing. I had such plans for these two, with multiple changes of blankets and headbands and hats and they were going to sleep soundly for me and what on earth was I thinking?! One baby is hard enough to settle, let alone two! We eventually got them to sleep and managed to get only a few shots but they were worth it. Such beautiful little people.
Master H | Perth Newborn Photography
This is the very calm Master H, 10 days old. He did a sterling job of sleeping through most of his photo session with just a little resettling from mum. He’s a gorgeous little guy 🙂
A bit of this, a bit of that
I’ve done a few shoots lately: three babies, a family and a pair of teenage boys to be exact! Needless to say, I have a heap of editing to catch up on. I just wanted to share a few of my favourites so far 🙂
EDIT: I’ve just found this in my drafts. I can’t have hit the ‘publish’ button 😀
Baby Z is Week 5
Yesterday I had the honour of photographing another newborn. Truly, they are just so precious. This beautiful little week old girl is already the length of an eight week old: I’m sure she’s going to be either a super model or a basketball player. Or both! 🙂
Project 52 – Week 4
Yes, I know weeks 2 and 3 are missing 🙂 I’ll get to them in a while. I just couldn’t wait to share this one with you. This is Baby S, the brand new daugher of a very dear friend of mine. I love this photo for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s of my friend’s beautiful daughter. Secondly, the processing is different to what I’d normally do, but I like it. Thirdly, I like that it’s anonymous – it could be anyone, it just symbolises to me the fragility of a newborn, the treasure we hold in our hands when we hold our children, the responsibility that we hold. I hope you like it, too.
Beautiful Baby A
On Friday, I photographed beautiful Baby A, who is just 9 days old. She is such a gorgeous little girl; we forget so quickly how little they are when they’re so new. Baby A was a little unsettled but we still managed to get some cute shots of her while she was sleeping. This one is my favourite. There are more on Flickr; all are taken using only ambient light and a reflector.
Giggles and flowers
I photographed a 9 month old baby girl on Wednesday who has the most unbelievably beautiful, big blue eyes. Such a happy baby, too! Working with older babies is very different to newborns, but such fun! She made me laugh so much with her wriggling and squealing and smiles. As always, there are more photos on Flickr.
Another shoot with Baby R
Today I had the pleasure of photographing baby R again. First though, I showed his mamma the photos from last time. She loved them, all of them! Yay!
Baby R wasn’t as sleepy this time as he was 10 days ago. He’s almost three weeks now, just starting to become a bit more alert. It took ages to get him to sleep and even then he didn’t stay asleep for long. We tried very hard to get him in a certain position where he was facing the camera with his chin propped on his hands. He wasn’t having that at all! We’ll try again next time.
These photos are taken with natural light and a bit of flash bounced off the ceiling.
What beautiful babies!
I hired some studio lighting on the weekend and borrowed a couple of babies. Ok, so I didn’t borrow them so much as ask their parents if I could take some nice photos of them. Fortunately for me, they agreed! And didn’t I have two gorgeous babies to photograph, too! I love babies.
I’ve added a few of the shots that I like. Next time I photograph babies, I’m going to experiment a bit more with natural light and photographing on location.
Now….does anyone have any babies they love some beautiful images of? 🙂
