Sweet Baby Girl

Last Saturday I enjoyed the company of Baby Girl J. and her parents in my studio and we had lots of fun together. She made it through 3 wardrobe changes and still left with a little smile on her face. 

At first she wasn't too sure about this lady with the black machine that made a clicking sound and let off a flash of light though, every time I repositioned her or wiped her tears, she got a little upset. But in the end I think I won her over with a few peek-a-boos and funny sounds as well as lots of "Twinkle, twinkle little star" singing.

I was so excited to see the tutu that I had made months ago, in action. I think the pictures are adorable and her expressions are classic! And apparently the giraffe ribbon was very tasty too. Her traditional Indian Sari was amazing and so beautifully made, it was a piece of art and just wonderful to photograph!

Thanks for coming to visit me sweet Baby Girl J. - I look forward to taking some more pictures of you and your family and guests on your 1st Birthday!

 

Family Fun!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to take pictures for family B.

It was a very warm afternoon, which was hard on everybody and especially the kids. Quite frankly, I was glad I was on the other side of the camera. But I was still able to capture some wonderfully natural family shots. Most times the pictures that just "happen" are the best - they tell a beautiful story.


I hope these pictures will conjure up some smiles and bring lasting enjoyment to the family.

Gypsy Baby!

A little while ago I had the opportunity to take some pictures of Baby A. Her mother is not a fan of pink (to say the very least), which makes it all the more surprising that she came over to my basement studio with a pink tutu and a pink head band in tow to take pictures of her 10 month old. Oddly enough I had chosen a pink feather boa, all the way from an ostrich farm in South Africa, to include as a possible prop in the pictures. Together with all the pink goodies and some pretty pearls, Baby A. made quite a picture! Her mother called her the "Gypsy Baby"!

This sweet little girl did so well during our shoot and she is just the cutest thing, with her button nose and her big, bright, blue eyes - just gorgeous!

I had a lot of fun with this shoot - I have a boy and I really love any opportunity to take pictures of girls....somehow you can just take it that bit further, that bit sweeter and that bit pinker!
