Brooke and I had with beautiful baby Milla, and man, oh man
did she work us hard! This 5 day old beauty just did not want to snooze! After a good 4 hours, we'd managed to have her
sleep for about 30 minutes; which luckily left us enough time to get a few shots....although there isn't much of a variety as we
didn't want to push our luck moving her! It really makes me have a new appreciation for all of the amazing newborn
photographers such as Carrie Sandoval and Brittany Woodall of Bare
Baby , who make their images look so simple, timeless and peaceful.( If anyone knows their secrets, please share)! Aside
from the feedings, diaper changes, snuggles, heated blankets, swaddling, cuddling and soothing...it also takes a tonne of
patience and a definate love for what you do. I suppose it could help our case if we didn't also have 5 other kids thrown into
the mix! Good thing that M's Mum as well as our great friend Simone were up for the challenge of being entertainers to the
other wee ones! Now if only we could come up with a studio and more time without our other children ( love you guys)! I bet
we could finish the job in under 3 hours:)
Thanks so much to everyone that took part today...it was definately a joint effort:) And please stay tuned in for an upcoming
session of newborn TWINS! It's my turn to help Brooke out, and after today I don't blame her for asking...hopefully two babes
doesn't equal an 8 hour session ( it won't....nobody would put up with the two of us for that long)!
Hope you love the pics Linds:)

love them! i am always wishing i got your angles. ha.
that was one of the toughest shoots ever. so glad we were in it together!
absolutely Beautiful - I have been in the same spot many times - like almost every newborn session! I am always surprised when I come away with anything! Was she getting close to that 2 week mark and nearing a growth spurt maybe where all they want to do is feed and never sleep???
I totally hear you. The session I did the other day I don't think the little man slept for more than 10 minutes out of 2 1/2 hrs. These are beautiful and no one would ever guess how hard it actually is to shoot newborns. Love the contrast of the white with her dark hair.
These are so gorgeous! I love all the dark hair:)
How bad could it have been?...
She looks like a sleeping angel!
:)
They look great!!
