Each new hour brings a new depth to your love

July 22, 2018 | Leave a Comment

When you thought you couldn’t possibly love someone any more than this beautiful baby, a new hour ticks over and your heart swells once more. Having a baby brings a depth of love that’s hard to imagine. Your life has a newfound sense of greatness as you kiss every toe, every ear, and the very top of that warm, soft head. Recently I welcomed the Perry family and their tiny bundle Max to my studio. As you’ll see, we captured some very special moments.

Every new child sees your heart refuel with love

July 20, 2018 | Leave a Comment

The love for a first child is so overwhelming that it can make you wonder whether there’s room in your heart for any more love. The truth is, the heart has an infinite capacity for love and with each new baby, you feel it expand to the point of bursting with joy. The latest addition to this beautiful family is clearly adored, and I was delighted to be won over by Violet too.

I photographed baby Violet as part of my special Rainbow Baby Project so we included this beautiful rainbow image as part of her collection.

Plus one makes a family

As soon as your beautiful baby was placed on your chest, you fell in love with him/her, but what you weren’t prepared for, was falling in love with your partner all over again. The realisation hits – you made this perfect life – together. And now, you’re a family, a wonderfully tight-knit unit ready to experience the adventures of life together. Just like this lovely couple with their newborn Bonnie who I had the pleasure of photographing recently.

A time to be thankful

July 13, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Adding a sweet newborn to the busyness of life can be humbling. And yet, every time you think of him, hear him coo or catch sight of his chubby legs, you’re instantly thankful. Thankful for just how much MORE your life seems with him in it. And you wouldn’t have it any other way. I was thankful to share a short, yet special time with Charlie and his Mumma in my studio.

A love that ties it all together

The love for a partner should always be treasured. But, having a baby together deepens the sentiment, renewing the love you feel for each other, as you share in the overwhelming rush of love for your newborn. This new kind of love will be with you as you start down the adventure of parenthood – the shared journey of a lifetime. The love Sarah and Rhys feel not only for their darling Ryder but also each other is clear to see.

Having a baby is the start of a tremendous adventure

July 5, 2018 | Leave a Comment

From the first time you cradle your baby, you realise that you’ll be learning so much from each other. You’re each at the start of a wondrous new journey, and nothing can be more moving than knowing this is one you’ll be on together, as a family. I was in awe of the love that this family filled my studio with during their session.

Pregnancy is like love before first sight

July 3, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Before your baby is born, you know you love them. Before you feel their first kick, you know you will do anything to protect them. Before the flutter in your little belly, and before the first scan which brings the joy of seeing them for the very first time, you fall deeply, profoundly in love. That same affection was so apparent in this family, and I was delighted to photograph their beautiful little rainbow baby Liam along with his big brother Noah.

A newborn is a bundle of joy in any wrapping

You find yourself marvelling at the smallness of everything – ears, toes, nose. You’ve never before felt what you feel right now, as you listen to such a delicate heartbeat. It’s in these moments you realise you created a life – and it’s just so precious. That’s exactly how Phoebe’s family feel, and I was honoured to capture it in these photographs.

When you have a baby, it’s the little things that you love most

June 12, 2018 | Leave a Comment

You’ve never felt such overwhelming happiness. It’s in the sweet little sounds as they coo. It’s the soft down on their precious head and the adorable squishy dimples. You can’t help but melt as they snuggle into your chest and you inhale that beautiful scent you can only experience with a newborn baby.

When I met tiny twin sister’s Charlie and Isla and was won over by their sweet expressions and their unique connection that only exists when you’re a twin.

Every baby is the most special addition to a family

It’s in the bond you experience as you rock them to sleep at night and it’s in their personality as they grow into a small person, beginning to express their own thoughts. It’s without question that each baby is unique, and has a special place inside their family.

I was lucky enough to witness the bond among this beautiful family and how much baby Louis was adored, especially by his big sister. I’m sure as siblings, these two will have lots of exciting adventures ahead of them.
