This shoot was a real joy, but also a little unexpected. I had originally arranged to shoot Leoni’s portraits proudly showing her bump with partner Nathan. But the day before the shoot I received a phone call saying, “I’m so sorry, but I am going to have to reschedule our portrait shoot, I’m in hospital, I’ve just given birth”! Wow, this is great news but also a little unexpected as she had ‘popped’ about 4 weeks early. Well, in a way it wasn’t a problem at all as I was hoping to do a new born shoot. I have photographed literally thousands of babies and toddlers but strangely never a new born.
Gorgeous little Tayvia was a pleasure to work with, not least because her well organised mum had just fed her a short while before I arrived. She just slept the whole way through the shoot and hardly stirred at all.
There will be a few more images from this shoot posted later in the week.
