Couldn’t ask for more | Newborn photographer, Melbourne

Ok, so it was still hot – boiling hot, but that just meant that this gorgeous, tiny little newborn baby slept beautifully for me the whole time I was there as he was so nice and toasty being in his birthday suit!

When I photographed Claire for her maternity session, I was itching to come back for her newborn session after William arrived. Knowing what was in store for me at their home, I couldn’t wait to try out all of the wonderful ideas I had in my head. When I can use gorgeous surrounds like this in client’s homes, it just makes on location photography work all the more rewarding.

And yes, I have gone completely overboard with sneak peeks, but really – can you help it when the subjects are this cute??

And just to show you the kind of dedication I give to my clients – yes I do still work in this temperature!! This was taken on the way home in my car (and no, I was not driving it at the same time!)

{What a perfect little angel he was Claire! I absolutely loved every minute of it and wish I could do it all over again. Thank you for having me capture such a precious moment in his life, and I can’t wait to see him grow up!}

    Love, love, love the first pic!!! They should put that on canvas above that dresser :) What a great session! I’ve also been enjoying your ‘photo-a-day’! they’re wonderful! Are you going to make it into a book at the end of the year? I love your processing on black and whites too.

    Well what can I say…. firstly thank you, thank you, thank you Kristen for making the session so easy and enjoyable. We are so proud of our little man for behaving during the shoot. Yes, he is gorgeous and thank you to all of your bloggers who agree!! We can’t wait to see the rest of the images. We will definately be arranging another session when William is a little older.
    Thanks again

    OH. MY. GOODNESS! Wonderful shots taking full advantage of the gorgeous decor! I bet you could have stayed there shooting all day (if it weren’t boiling hot!)! What a handsome baby boy he is! My favorite shot? The 4th one-looking down on baby nestled in a bowl.

    These are just gorgeous Kristen – love them all! Thank goodness it’s cooled down now. And love that yellow wall – Claire & Anthony, if you happen to read this, I’d love to know the paint colour name as I’m looking for a good yellow for my daughter’s bedroom :) ?

    Hi everyone, thanks for the lovely comments. I’m just so proud of my little man. Sorry, but I can’t for the life of me find the details of the paint colour. It’s fairly distinctive on the colour charts. From memory it was dulux colour (the renovation was done about 6 years ago so not sure if the colour is still available) Good luck though and thanks again for all the lovely comments about our son and our home
