I obsess over itty bitty details with newborns, seriously – I do. It’s all pure baby.
These are only a few of the many detail shots I have of Charlie since his birth, and two of my favourites. One of the first things I looked at after he was born was how much ‘peach fuzz’ he had on him and much to my delight his ears were gorgeously fuzzy. I captured that iamge not long after we got home and it still makes me smile every time I look at it. It’s a constant reminder of just how new and fresh these little creatures are, and how quickly the little things like fuzz on the ears just disappear before you realise. It’s a reminder for me so when one day, I look down at his ears and they are fuzz free, I don’t forget how ‘him’ it was when he was little. I want to remember these small details, the details that seem so insignificant at the time, yet so missed when they are gone.
His fishy lips are a Charlie trademark and I adore them. I was so lucky to capture them close up today, again as a reminder of one of the beautiful quirks he was born with.
These beautiful, special, remarkable and innocent little finer details…
