I was so pleased to be asked to do a twin newborn photo shoot for Lucie & Oli’s brand new bundles of joy just over a week ago.  Lucie and I discussed the type of photos she was after and my lovely friend Sveta made some gorgeous little hats, (you can have a look at her Etsy shop HERE) – we penciled in a date then I sat back to wait excitedly for news of their safe arrival.  I continued to plan a few things for the shoot and I bought in some new props that will come in handy for future newborn sessions too!  Of course when the day came most of our ideas went out the window – the babies are always in charge on these shoots!  We managed a couple of shots with their big brother, but fabulous as he is, he wasn’t over fussed about having a photo taken with his new brother and sister or even with mum & dad!  When you’re 2 years old there are so many more important things in life to be getting on with!  So we opted for some fun natural shots of him playing in the garden instead and as many sleepy shots of the twins together as we could get before one or the other woke up (at different times!) for cuddles or feeds…  I loved meeting Lucie & Oli and their children, they really are the most adorable little family – well not such a little family now – it’s hard to imagine how 3 becomes 5 over night!  Such a gorgeous family – thank you for having me round in those precious first days!  I can’t wait to see you all again in a year or so for a “toddling along” photo shoot in the countryside somewhere…

If you’re having a baby or know someone who is expecting and who’d like a newborn photo shoot please give me a call.  Thanks x
