I finally got a chance tonight to edit a few more from Grace's "newborn" session. She was 9 pounds 15 ounces at birth and she sure doesn't look like a newborn in some of them! And while we do have some snaps of her in the first couple weeks, I wasn't feeling up to pulling out all my newborn stuff until she was 2-1/2 weeks old.


The best time for newborn images is really around the 5 day mark. Other photographers had told me I should get someone else to do my newborn photographs but I foolishly ignored them thinking I could do it all myself. Silly really, since my favourite images from client sessions are always the one with the newborn and his or her parents. And, of course, I can't do those myself. :)

I've been doing sneak peeks via email this past month but I'm going to try and do the next few sneak peeks online.

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy and his family in their gorgeous Yaletown condo last week.


And because he was such an amazing eater, there was lots of time to photograph his big sister.


Aren't her glasses gorgeous? She picked them out herself. And everytime they went into the store, she picked out the same ones. That's a girl who knows her own mind.


And yes, I would have smuggled this gorgeous chair out of there if I thought I could have gotten away with it.

Mister G was still feeding so time for some shots of daddy and his little girl.


One of my favourite parts of newborn shoots is hearing about the birth story - and this one was probably the most beautiful one I've heard. Lately a lot of the families I photograph have delivered with Pacific Midwifery and I've been so impressed with everything I've heard.


His mama is a huge proponent of babywearing and has the most gorgoues selection of baby wraps. I tried to wear Angelo when he was first born but quickly got frustrated with it. I wish now I'd tried harder. She turned me on to TheBabyWearer website which has loads of great information that I'll definitely be using when we have another one.


And because of all the feeding I know his mama was worried we didn't get any sleepy baby photographs. Don't worry, we definitely did. And I think the one on the right is one of my new favourites.


Thanks again for the privilege of photographing your growing family!
