Adrian, 7 months old and absolutely adorable!

By Natalie | Published 3 May 2011

*big smile* do you remember Adrian’s newborn session…?

I’m so happy he’s one of my Baby’s First Year clients, especially after seeing his mama posting beautiful photos of him growing up on Facebook. I really couldn’t wait to photograph him again!

Now he’s 7 months old… sitting up… and being as cute and adorable as can be! :-)

I loved how happy and excited he was when one of his favourite toys made an appearance :-)

…and then he found the tag and I just adored the look of concentration on his face (and those gorgeous long eyelashes!)

Adrian loved giving his mama open mouth baby kisses too, so sweet :-)

A quick outfit change and one last sneak peek..

Are you smiling? I sure am! Hope you enjoyed the peek! :-)

Best wishes,
~Natalie

Remember this gorgeous mama-to-be? I was delighted to hear of baby’s safe arrival.. A boy.. and with a gorgeous name too!

Welcome to the world Dexter! :)

A wonderfully adorable little brother for a delightful big sister!

I just want to *kiss* those gorgeous cheeks of his! Sweet dreams little one..

It was lovely to receive his birth announcement in the post too! :-)

waiting for baby…

By Natalie | Published 2 November 2010

I didn’t hear yet if this baby has arrived… but surely must be any time now! This gorgeous mama-to-be has such a cute little bump that we waited till later in her pregnancy for the maternity session.

So… will it be a boy? or a girl? I can’t wait to hear!

And this gorgeous little one is going to be a fabulous big sister!!

Isn’t she adorable?! :-)

Such a beautiful family of 3, waiting to be a family of 4. I’m so excited for them! :-)

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Best wishes,

an adorable little brother, just 10 days new

By Natalie | Published 22 October 2010

I was super excited to receive the news of George’s arrival and couldn’t wait for his newborn session. Last year in August, I photographed his delightful big sister the day after her 1st birthday, and I was really looking forward to meeting the newest member of this wonderful family!

Isabelle is a beautiful big sister, isn’t she gorgeous? And little George, just 10 days new, was an absolute star!

He was such a ‘curly’ little baby, and he slept beautifully for me too :-)

*smile*

I think the one above is a clear favourite of mine, each time I see it I want to reach out and snuggle with him! ;-)

And for the last image in the sneak peek, a special outfit for George and a look at those baby blues!

Oh George, you. are. gorgeous! *ahhh* :-)

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Best wishes,
~Natalie

sleeping beauty…

By Natalie | Published 21 September 2010

So tiny, so beautiful, and so perfect. This sweet baby girl, just 10 days new when I met her, was one of the sleepiest babies I’ve photographed. She really was a sleeping beauty!

Introducing Claudia…

Peacefully sleeping…

And blowing kisses in her dreams too…

Simply, beautiful!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Best wishes,

~Natalie

sneak peek: a christmas angel

By Natalie | Published 13 December 2008

Remember this session? Frøya didn’t seem too happy during her 6-months portrait session so we cut the session short and I offered to reschedule. I’m glad we did, we had a lovely session in her home where she was much more relaxed and she was much happier this time too… now at 8-months she is still a super cutie and she had a lovely bright red Christmas outfit to wear too!
