So I have photographed Kate, Brent and Finn before and was pretty much ready to be charged with stalking and harrassment of poor Kate when I KNEW wee Ruby was 6 days old today. She promised, and I made her keep it! What a beautiful baby, I am in love!
I also wanted to say that Ruby is a prime example of getting me in early! The difference between a 6 day old baby and a 12 day old baby is MASSIVE. I know it sounds really silly, but you need to trust me on that! 6 day olds are floppy and sleepy and still getting used to the world. They curl like a dream and settle well for me. A 12 day old baby has had an extra week nearly to learn their surroundings, to know voices, smalls, environments and to get unsettled when a different voice, smell and pressence is in their space. And they dont like it. 6 days olds dont even notice. Smart creatures newborns, they fascinate me!
I fully understand that on day 6 the last thing you want is a photographer through your house, you’ve just had a baby, the place is a mess and you are leaking milk and not showered and cant remember if you slept last night or not. Care factor for all of the above is ZERO – I dont expect anything else than a Mama who is still in recovery from birth! All I need from you is boozies on tap to settle if needed and that is all. I’ll be out of your hair within an hour!
Enjoy this adorable baby, Ruby has been born into the most beautiful family and is so so loved already…
