Arlo's newborn shoot

Arlo arrived into the world at a comfortable 4.3 kgs (9 pounds 8 ounces). I don’t know what is in the water but lately all the babies who have been coming into my studio have been a mini mum 4kg or at least 55cm long - I take my hat of to the mothers who birth these babies!.

Coming into the studio were his parents Sarah and Tim and one super proud big brother Landyn - who reminded me very much of my own JJ. Mum had requested some posed photos of baby Arlo but also natural family and sibling images, I feel like the simple colours and set ups from this session really complimented this gorgeous family and we certainly had a really nice time talking about everything from work to our babies starting school next year 😭

One of the family images from this shoot also earned a bronze award in in the International Rise Photographer Awards which is an outstanding achievement!

Super proud big brother!

Twins and a baby!

When Emma and I were discussing her goals for her newborn shoot she wanted to make sure we would get photos of the siblings together, one of just her 14 months old twin girls, a sleepy photo of Bub and a nice family photo. The best thing you can do as a client is to communicate your concerns, your goals and any questions you have so everyone can be relaxed and enjoy the your time in the studio!

Sibling photos can be difficult at the best of times, 14 month old twins is another ball game all together, but with a lot of team work we did it! Hats off to mum and dad, I’m sure home life can get a little bit full on but they’re obviously amazing parents to have such well behaved, gorgeous girls!

Here is a selection of their chosen images 💕

Baby Announcement / Glitter session

Booking this session in went a little something like this:

Me: ‘Michelle! We need to do these sibling photos, and I have some new backdrops that I think would perfectly with your style’ *sends picture of new backdrops’

Michelle: ‘ That looks great, like a Hao Long Bay sunset! Also, we might have another reason for this shoot…I have some news’

Me: ‘omg, omg, omg…are you saying what I think you’re saying?!’

A few weeks ago Michelle and her girls Mia and Lily came into the studio to celebrate the announcement a new sibling on the way! This was such a fun and special session for me, to be a small part of documenting the big moments in family life are what make my ‘job’ so great.

Michelle and I met at mother’s group when our firstborn babies were just 6 weeks old, they turn 5 this November. Throughout our friendship I have photographed Mia’s cake smash, Michelle’s second pregnancy as well as Lily for her newborn photos. The photos from that session are proudly displayed on my studio walls and Michelle + Dans lounge room and now I can’t wait for this little bubs newborn session in my studio in Umina.

Custom Onsie is from TinyLabel, another business a mum from our mother’s group owns and operates.

Enjoy these images and the story they tell 💕

It needs to be said that these girls are so gorgeous inside and out just like their parents.

FYI, I’m still finding glitter in my studio 😂

In Michelle’s words ‘ Excitement, shock, overwhelmed... All the feelings when you find out there's another baby on the way!!!’.
