Tiny Toes

I've been busily entertaining my kiddies over the school holidays and have lots of fun photos to share, but in the mean time please enjoy some tiny little tootsies :)

 

Sneak Peek

You might remember these maternity photos I did for my good friend and her family. Well, her bubba is here! I got to go for some newborn cuddles on Friday and I snapped a few quick pictures while I was there :)

Indoor photography isn't really my thing but I think I managed to capture all the little newborn details, plus pictures of her gorgeous purple, grey and melon nursery :)

I'll be sure to share more soon!

I Learned...

This week I learned that you really need to do a newborn shoot as soon as possible! My niece was 13 days old when I did her photos and she was already very awake and not very into any of my nice sleepy poses, lol

I do love this one though, even though everyone does this pose I've never tried it before and I think it turned out lovely :) 

Next time someone wants me to do newborn photos I'll tell them to swing by on their way home from hospital ;D

Stay tuned for more of my niece!

Meet Miss Emilia :)

Last week I got to photograph my brand new niece Emilia :) She's the eleventh grandchild on my husbands side of the family!

Isn't she sweet? 

She wasn't much in the mood for photos, we just missed that window where they're nice and sleepy and floppy still, lol. She was only 13 days old but had just started to have some awake time in the last day or so so was a bit cross when we stripped her down, even with the heater on!

But I still got some cute shots of her and of the rest of the family, I'll share some more once my sister in law has seen them :)

   

B&W Wordless{ish} Wednesday - My Baby Nephew

 A few photos of my adorable nephew for your viewing pleasure :)

 Doesn't he look peaceful :)

 Milky lips :)

 If babies came like this I'd order another one for sure! (In fact, I'd rather be in labour for 9 months than go through pregnancy again *shudder* But thats a story for another day!!)

 I bet he's dreaming of puppies chasing butterflies under a rainbow :) Or milk.

I shared this one before but it deserves a little re post, it's may fav :D

This is my little William's John Deere truck I got him for his first birthday :D You can see his photo shoot in it HERE. I love those photos of Will :)


This was the first time I've photographed a newborn (well, he was 4 weeks), other than my own but I didn't have my DSLR back then! I think I did an ok job, my sister in law said she cried when she looked through them so I must have done something right!

  


Happy Wednesday!!

Meet My Nephew :)

On Thursday I finally got a chance to take some photos of my gorgeous 4 week old nephew! We had planned to do them much sooner to get that nice floppy newborn look but we all kept getting sick and had to keep postponing!

I'm very happy with how they turned out though and I have a sneak peek today at my favourite shot from the day :) 

Isn't he precious?!

He wasn't too keen at first, screamed his little head off when we popped him in there poor thing, so my sister in law gave him his bottle in there and he drifted off to sleep :) Then I warmed the apples up in front of the heater we had pointed at him to keep him nice and warm so that he didn't get a cold shock when we put them in!

A couple of apples *may* have been eaten by my 20month old niece in the process of putting this together, lol. She kept getting them out and taking a bite then putting them back in!

I'd love to know how I did, I've never photographed a baby before! (except my own and that was with my p&s)

I'll share some more from the shoot when I've finished editing them :)

     

Here is the SOOC for Touch Up Tuesday:

I didn't do much to it, I just ran Coffeeshop's Baby Powder Room to smooth out his skin a bit, used the Clone Tool to clean up some marks on the wall and floor and brushed over his lips and eyes with a Sharpening action just to make them pop a bit more, then ran Florida to brighten it up a touch :)
