Light and shade | Newborn photography

My beautiful friend Danielle Stahl (a brilliant Darwin-based photographer) handmade the gorgeous wrap you see here just for Charlie, and so this first image is totally inspired by her – it is so soft and delicious it makes me want to get one that’s adult sized just so I can slip into it (move over makers of the Snuggie…!)

The images that I take on black for newborn clients always end up being some of my favourites from the session, so I knew I couldn’t go past having some of my own shots for Charlie boy like this too. It’s a great chance to play with light and shadows for me, I adore the depth it gives – simple and pure baby.

    Stunning!!!! What a gorgeous wrap Dani made for Charlie! She is talented in so many ways!! I just adore that photo on the right. Seriously, that just screams Kristen Cook! I think it is my favorite of Charlie Boy. You need to get that one blown up on canvas… simply divine!

    Insanely good!! I can’t get over how much I love the fuzzy, snugly goodness of the one on the left and the deep, rich perfection of the one on the right. Thanks for the incredible inspiration!
