It's always an amazing feeling when clients say, "Our friends had their baby's photos done by you, and we loved them!" It truly is such a massive compliment - you know, the kind that make you blush and you don't know how to respond? But the feeling is so great. So, a quick shout out to all of my clients who have recommended me to your friends! It means the world to me. <3
Introducing little Edie (ee-dee), who not only rocked her newborn session at 4 weeks new, but also stole a piece of my heart while she did so. Although she initially didn't like the idea of being wrapped up into a little potato, she eventually settled and ended up sleeping through the rest of her session quite well! I always feel so excited at the end of an "older" newborn session, because despite what many say in regards to the best age for a newborn to have photos done, I've actually had it happen many times that babies older than the "recommended age" have performed just as well as my fresher clients. And by 4 weeks, the baby chub has filled in - oh, the rolls!
I got a little brave with her set and decided to use stripes for one of Edie's backdrop sets. I find stripes to be so classy, but the hard part is making sure the lines are absolutely straight to keep the photo from looking messy or warped. It turned out to be easier than I thought to maintain the straightness of my backdrop (probably because I was SO picky about it during the session!) but I am so glad I went for it and gave it a shot. I love trying different things to bring uniqueness to my work. I had a back-up, plain backdrop blanket just in case things didn't turn out quite the way I imagined, but I think they turned out beautiful and add such a sense of elegance and class to her photos - which suit her perfectly!
Welcome to the world, little Edie! You are such a gentle little soul and I hope I get the honour in photographing you again for your cake smash!
