Little Lily from Brereton.

When Lily’s mum, Jodie got in touch about booking her new baby in for a session she was worried she’d left it too late as Lily had already been born. I had some availability and talked about times and dates but like many new mums, Jodie found the first couple of weeks after birth quite overwhelming and struggled to find the time to come to the studio.

A couple of weeks later as I was browsing artificial flowers, I spotted the most beautiful pink Lily and it reminded me that Jodie had never booked in and was missing the opportunity of newborn photos with her gorgeous little girl! I bought the Lily and send Jodie and photograph of it, reminding her that, even at 5 weeks old, Lily could still come and have a newborn session as she would likely still curl up and sleep like a newborn.

I’m so happy that she decided to come in and have a portrait session. Little baby Lily was absolutely great! She slept for the majority of the session and we got some fantastic parent pictures with mum and dad. (My first professional rugby player – Will! 🙂 ) Lily really enjoyed being wrapped up and she was rocking the pink polka dot fabric I have. When she did wake up her eye contact with the camera was amazing and we got some stunning awake shots!
