I always get a little buzz when friends call and ask me to photograph their families, but never more so when it's for a newborn portrait session. It's such a special time in the families lives, especially with older siblings, to capture these emotions and the precious little new life is a real priviledge.
So can you can imagine I was overjoyed when my girlfriend called me to ask me to photograph their second daughter. Delilah at 12 days old is a little bit older than we generally photograph for newborns (aiming for younger than 10 days) but we were very patient and waited for her to fall into a sound sleep.... while enjoying a cuppa and also having some time photographing her big sister Adelaide who is just beautiful. Then she was ready to be photographed in snuggly newborn poses.
I might be biased but aren't they just adorable!
