Following on...





Following on from my last blog post of Louise's maternity shoot, I had the lovely opportunity to photograph her and Sam's brand new baby Lilly Rose.

I am new to baby photography - give me an adult and I can photograph them with my eyes shut, give me a baby, it's a different story. This shoot with this precious little girl, was a new photographic experience for me and one that I absolutely loved!

I had no idea how much goes into photographing babies. It is certainly a challenge because you don't always have control over situations. For example, feeding times, waiting for them to go into a deep sleep so you can pose them, and peeing amongst other things. I was told baby shoots can take up to 3 hours and I can see why. It's all about being patient.

Being able to provide parents with photographs of this time in their child's life is what it's all about and is so worth it! They are only this small for such a short period of time and I think it's so important to capture that.
