More Mitch

This post is for Donna, John and Mitch. A few extra images from our session together ...

This shot cracks me up!! Does Mitch's pose remind you of anyone ...?

Donna & John

When we had finished up with Mitch's newborn session, I asked Donna and John when they had last had their portraits taken, and they answered : "our wedding". So Mitch was put to bed and mum and dad settled in for their portraits. This series is my favourite - got to love the moment just before a kiss ...

Grace at 3 weeks - part II

Here are a few more images from Miss Grace at 3 weeks old. I'm completely biased of course, but how divine is this girl?!!





Cuddles with mum ...









And some causal, snuggly family shots ...

Amanda & Michael

When I work on a newborn session, I'm normally working with two parents who are overwhelmed, in awe, exhausted and generally haven't had much time to stop and check in with each other. At the end of the baby focused session, I will ask mum and dad if they'd like to have a couple of quick portraits made, of just the two of them. The results are of course, always varied, but the common factor is usually a husband and wife finally getting a moment to slow down to say 'hi', and have a few minutes with the focus back on them. The images are always bursting with emotion, and capturing that is priceless.

Here are Amanda & Michael's portraits ... post baby Grace ...
