I had the pleasure of having Olivia come into the studio for a newborn session this morning. She was all of 13 days new, and had the most perfect round head ever seen on a little creature.
Mum had mentioned on the phone how cruisy she was and was hoping to get all those gorgeous sleepy shots she had seen me do with my other sessions.
Well Mum was right, I could of had a marching band walk through the studio and she still would of slept through it all. We could move her, disturb her, wrap her, change her, pose her all without a budge or noise from her.
Mum had mentioned she hadn't done a poo since she came home from hospital, and just before we started undressing her she decided to do one, so I think maybe she felt so good after getting rid of 13 days of breastmilk that she was happy to do whatever I wanted.
Dad Paul came along to help out, and he was by far the best assistant I've had. He was right on the ball when I needed a dummy, blanket, arm holding, eye closing or whatever else I needed, sometimes it those little things that make a great shoot, as sometimes I only have a split second to get that shot.
If only all newborns were that easy right?
