Frankie newborn session 8 days old

This afternoon I met a lovely newborn baby boy, called Frankie. He was just 8 days old and was a little star all the way through his session.

After a run of newborns, today I had a session with baby Alfie who was almost 3 months old. He was a lovely, smiley little boy, and we got lots of cutie-tastic pictures!

Maria,

Thanks for sharing these truly inspirational images with me, as a photographer myself it's always a great to look to other photographers for inspiration.

Regards

Noah newborn session 3 days
July 22, 2010 // Newborns / Sneak Previews / Welcome to the World / natural light photography
Today I had a session with beautiful baby Noah who was just 3 days old. He came to see me all the way from Richmond. Noah was the most alert 3 day old baby I had ever met! We had a little bit of a battle of wills but with perseverance, and lots of feeds, we managed to get him nice and sleepy. I am delighted with the images from the session...he is adorable.

Thank you so much Maria. The photos are beautiful. You did a wonderful job of handling our slightly overactive and moody 3 day old boy. You made us feel calm and relaxed about the session straight away. You managed to coerce him into poses we didn't think were going to be possible prior to our arrival. Thanks for your patience and ability to read the situation to get the shots we were after.

Can't wait to see the rest of the photos now!

P.S. He's been much less frustrated since our session, if you know what we mean ;-)

Update and availability
July 22, 2010 // General / Newborns / Welcome to the World / news
Hello to all of you :) Just a quick update regarding the studio diary . I am now taking appointments for the 2nd week of September and cannot accommodate anyone before that time. We have now entered wedding season, so most of the weekends will be spent away from the studio...check out www.loveasart.co.uk for my recent wedding images.

I am also away for 2 weeks in August. As you can see from the blog, I have been rather busy (and there is more, but not every session makes the blog!), and now have a little bit of a backlog. So as always I need to put my head down and try and get everything up to date before the holiday - I am so looking forward to more than 4 hours sleep a night!

Please please remember that if you are looking to book a session, give me as much notice as possible. I have put home visits on hold for the time being, as they usually mean a day out of studio, and with Isabelle breaking up from school in a couple of days I think she really needs (as do I ) a little bit more of mummy time!

I already have newborns booked for their Welcome to the World sessions in for October and December so if you are over 6 months pregnant,  then it's never to early to secure your slot. September, October and November are by far the busiest months of the year and normally booked about 8-9 weeks in advance.

If you have emailed me or called with an enquiry, I will get back to you , but it may take a day or two - I normally shoot during the days and it's not unusual for me to come back to my desk after a shoot to 50 emails - so please bear with me.

I very much look forward to seeing you - and I leave you with this lovely image of some baby tootsies!
