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

… as if she hasn’t had enough already!

I wanted to try getting some photos with Mia playing with her beautiful Little House cot blanket (it’s a beautiful 100% merino wool blanket she received as a gift) as I thought the colours might work well together. That, and I also still had the purple material on loan from the nappy photoshoot and wanted to take the opportunity to grab some more of that fantastic colour!

Mia has a most annoying habit at the moment of putting her fingers in her mouth all the time. So, I don’t know why I was so surprised that the moment I put her down on the blanket the first thing she did was grab it and stick it in her mouth… Trying to remove her fingers from her mouth and keep her distracted long enough to pull the camera back up and snap away was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I think out of the 20 minutes that I was standing above her trying to get a decent photo, only a handful of them worked out. In the end, I just gave in (much to her dismay as the ‘game’ of mummy playing with her hands was now over).

The good news is that I was able to get a few good shots in – more experience for me, and more embarrassing photos to show at her 21st…
