Ok so I’m going to go on one of my newborn-fluffy-I’m-so-in-love-aren’t-they-a-miracle type of tangents today. But seriously, can you blame me when this is the type of thing I do for a living? I remember so vividly taking these first two black and white images below. The first was taken at such a beautiful, tender moment between the parents and even as I captured it I remember holding my breath in hope that I could replicate in print what I felt in person at the time. The second black and white photograph encompasses all of those beautiful newborn qualities I adore – baby fuzz, skin just before it starts to shed, teeny tiny eyelashes, ears, nose lips… it’s when you look at images like this in detail and appreciate them for everything they are that makes your heart sing like mine.
I didn’t actually realise until the session that this adorable, tiny little peanut (born at only 6lb!) is the cousin of baby Xavier, my last newborn! How incredibly special it will be for these two cousins to grow up so close in age together (and live literally around the corner from each other too) - I can see them being the best of friends as they grow up!
{Kelly and Anthony, that little man of yours will grow so quickly and certainly won’t be little for long (well, apart from his toes Anthony…) so cuddle, and kiss and hug him tight and appreciate these beautiful new moments as your son grows into the man he is yet to become}
