Flinn Newborn baby session

A few images from a recent newborn session with Flinn who was three weeks old. A wee bit older than the"less than 10 days old" which is really the ideal age for newborn art sessions. However, Flinn was a darling - wide awake, alert and so inquisitive as to what was going on around him. I was ready to take him home with me - such an adorable little boy - who will be a real heart-breaker in future years I imagine. It was a delight to meet Flinn and his lovely mum Angela.

Hope to see you again:)

Helen and Alistair - - Castaways

Helen and Alistair were recently married at Castaways - Karioitahi Beach. It was a beautiful spring September day and the quite a chilly wind kept the wedding ceremony inside. What a great wedding to start the season! We had such a great time and there was much camaraderie with Alistair's family from South Africa and all the other guests. Thanks again - it was so great to be your wedding day photographers!

Bella

Bella's newborn baby art photo session was held earlier this week - when Isabella was 11 days old. Newborn photography sessions are held before baby is 2 weeks old and before too many of those hormone/milk spots appear, where they tend to sleep a lot and don't mind being moved. Best to contact your photographer prior to the birth and advise them of your due date and then book a session shortly after you are settled in and comfortable at home. This session was done with purely natural light - with a wee bit of reflector. One gorgeous precious little girl is Bellal!

Lisa and Ryan

I first met Lisa a few months back when Ryan was not too far off making his arrival.

And here he is now at thirteen weeks. A gorgeously cute baby boy who is very much the apple of his Mummy's eye.. I love his wrinkled forehead and his dark inquisitive eyes.
Congratulations and thanks so much for allowing me to share these wonderful shots!
