Newborn, Baby and Wedding Photography in Melbourne :: Kristen Cook {The Blog}

My darling best friend Debbie (BBBBBBBBF, is that right Deb?) lives over the in UK now which makes me very sad as I obviously don’t get to see her gorgeous face nearly enough. I was lucky though to have a chance to catch up with her a little while ago when she came for a visit to the land of Oz (yaaay!) and I will also get to see her again in January when she comes home to get married (double YAAAY!).

I’ve grown up with Deb’s family – we met when we were 10, so a lot of our childhood and teenage years were spent playing at each other’s houses, going on holidays (she even braved three months backpacking with me in Europe… now that says something!).

It was therefore such an honour to be asked by her gorgeous sister Karen and her husband James, to take some photos of of their oh-so-handsome baby boy Finlay. He was only teeny tiny, and so brand new at only six days old… SIX! They don’t get much fresher than that out of hospital! He was about as good as I could have hoped for too – he barely made a peep when we were trying to bend him and move him around, but as you can see, felt far more comfortable wrapped up in the arms of his new dad where it was toasty and warm.

I think this is my favourite image at the moment. That little hand grabbing daddy’s wrist…. ahhh – it KILLS ME!!!

Look closely…. can you see his baby fuzz??? SO ADORABLE!!

{Kaz and James – THANK YOU for having me come over and do this for you!! It was honour enough to meet him when he was so brand spanking new but to be able to photograph him as well…. pure joy!}
