My addiction | Newborn photographer, Melbourne

9 March, 2009 – 11:57 am

“Hello, my name is Kristen and I am addicted to photographing newborn babies”.

It’s been three days since my last hit… and this little man was so incredibly gorgeous for me. I can’t help it – newborn photography for me is like a natural high. I can’t get enough of it, and every time a newborn session ends for me I have to quickly do a mental note of when my next newborn is booked for and how long I have to wait unitl I can do it again… it’s a sickness really… !!

Tell me though, does life get much better than being able to spend the day with gorgeous little newborn souls who are so squishy and brand new? Not likely…


 

{Justine, I had a gorgeous morning with you! I am still so incredibly proud of your efforts in birthing a 10lb10oz baby – you are my new superhero!}

… and the toddler runs | Melbourne child photography

1 March, 2009 – 10:07 pm

Looking through the first 10 frames or so from this session when looking over it upon my return, all I saw was lots of toddler blur and running.

Running, running, running and more running. Yep, it doesn’t get much more toddler than that! I was pulling out every single trick I could think of to get her to stop, just for a moment (as much as I love photographing kids running, I’m sure her parents are looking for a bit more variety than just running shots!) and once we had our groove going, we got some gorgeous results. She was such a gorgeous little thing, and we had a lovely time playing in the garden!

Even though she has her eyes closed as she’s laughing, that shot on the right is one of my favourites at the moment!

{Enjoy Rebecca! Looks like she had a great afternoon yesterday – LOVES that open grass area! What toddler wouldn’t!}

Tiny little miracles | Newborn photography, Melbourne

1 March, 2009 – 9:48 pm

Gorgeous little Amelia arrived into this world only 6 days before I had the good fortune of taking these images of her. My favourite time to photograph newborns! Once we eventually got her off to sleep, she behaved like a perfect angel for us (love her) and pretty much allowed us to play with her as we pleased.

You may remember big brother Oliver from a few weeks ago when we had a photography session before Amelia’s arrival. When mum Jane was asking me what ideas we had for sibling shots, we weren’t hopeful of the results given the energetic little soul Oliver was and keeping him still while holding Amelia was going to be one hard shot to accomplish. That’s when Jane suggested we wait until Oliver had his nap. I almost didn’t believe her when she said you could do anything to him when he was asleep and he wouldn’t know.

Well, this is the result…

Yep, that’s a fast asleep newborn cuddling into her fast asleep older brother. No jokes.

Oliver was moved into this position, had a squirmy newborn placed on top of him and resettled, all without batting an eyelid. Honestly, I was in hysterics over the whole thing. I still can’t get over the fact he slept through this all!

Some more sneak peeks of baby Amelia:

{Congratulations again J&J on the birth of Amelia. I had a lovely morning with you all, and loved taking Amelia’s images for you. Give both of the kidlets a cuddle from me!}
