Spring has sprung - newborns galore

I love nothing more than a good newborn session.

Spring tis the season that they seem to boom. This year has seen an influx of boys in the studio.

Had a visit from a little 1 week old man today. Cute as a button, and teeny tiny too.

Nothing better than new life, the simplicity of it all, and the absolute pureness of a new baby.

Olivia - The Sleepiest little babe in the world

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?

Ollie finally entered the world.

I met Tam and Matt about 16 months ago when I did some newborn shots of their first born Miss Indi Lee. And Tam will agree with me when I say she is a photo addict, but when you see Indi you will see why, she is divine, and the biggest ham in front of the camera! She honestly loves it.

So when Tam announced that she was expecting bub number 2, I couldn't wait! Another gorgeous little human Kellett baby to go snap happy with.

Months dragged and dragged, Tam decided that her crocheting skills were worth something (only after I told her 50 billion times). So she spent the next 9 months hooking up a storm of new goodies for the little boy or girl inside.

Due Date came - Due Date gone.........

Waiting waiting waiting for that text! Felt like forever. But then waa-laa a facebook inbox reveals when bubs is coming, but now I had to keep the secret!

So finally the sunday came about and little Ollie made a very speedy entrance into the world.

And I got to meet him and take these images when he was 10 days old.... Indi was such a proud big sister too!

Good work Tam (and Matt, but really what does the male do except stand there and try to be reassuring!)

Ollie is awesome!
