Ruby – 8 months

We’re a bit late on the 6 month shoot for Ruby, she remains one of my squishiest newborns…

That, and we had to re-shoot as this weather has been hopeless for light! So, there are a few from our shoot 3 weeks ago and some from today. Ruby and Kate visited my place this morning and Ruby who is usually a pretty serious baby girl was hamming it up and having a grand old play on my mat. She is a little rocket and had us laughing the whole time. So cute, those huge brown eyes melt you. Could my peek-a-boo skills still be working? Maybe I needed this little break I’ve had for them to be most effective (news on my break for August is: its still happening. I hoped to not be off the entire month and I have a shoot or two lined up but recovery from surgery has been slower than expected. Dont do things by halves in this house…!) ♥

I have photogrphed Finn before and he is a total turdburger. But follows direction SO well and photographs beautifully. His lips and eyes are a dream, he can be so expressive and intense on command. Love it!

I am The Cupcakes Lady, and I can totally call a client kid a turdburger because his mum and I are mates…

Evie – 7 months

Ohhhhh what a cutie. Photographed Evie at 9 days old at the start of the year.

She was round two of my non-smiling baby day. Usually I am pretty hysterical, I adore this age and babies are just so pleased you decide to stop by and spend all this time and effort to sing to them and make funny noises, usually rewarding me with gorgeous grins and personality. I lost my touch the day I photographed Pippa and Evie, they were both not overly impressed!

We managed to get smiles when we put Evie in front of the mirror (naturally…) and when Mummy did some funny noises and sang some beautiful songs. She must prefer her mothers sweet tender voice, rather than mine!

And would you check out the shoes!! This baby girl has more shoes than me, and when her Dad asked me how many pairs I thought she had, I guessed 17. I was VERY close (but short!). What does she need them for you ask? Ock! She is a girl, girls neeeed shoes. You never know when a trip to the beach might just come up, or the opportunity to splash in puddles. Also special going out to dinner shoes for those guests who just drop by, and joggers for those time when a baby just has to jog!

Sorry, I am a shoe person. I dont think its weird or odd, I think its totally cool and SO cute! And I would actually wear those glitter Cons. As if you wouldnt too, if they were in your size…

I am the Cupcakes Lady, and I am totally on the hunt for those glitter Cons in adult sizes…

Pippa

I was lucky enough to photograph wee Pippa at 8 days old. She is now 6 months and just gorgeous!

It really wasn’t my day for babies, Pippa started the trend of just not smiling. She wasnt unhappy or unsettled – ust unimpressed. She was not impressed with my funny noises, not impressed with my childish peek-a-boo games, and only smiled the tiniest smile when I sang her some Lady Gaga. We had to take serious measures. There was really no other choice. Dads rasberries on the belly was the only solution!!

Beautiful bubby girl, I adored her outfit which included baby stockings ♥

Alfie

Oh what a special treat! Alfie was born at 34 weeks and is two weeks old. When he finally decided to fall asleep after having slept well for the first time last night, he was out like a light. Soooo tiny, at just 5 lbs 12oz, he was a teeny pixie boy and just so sweet. He squeaked when I moved him but was SO alseep and so comfy. What a special little man, in a big hurry to get here and see the world xx You appreciate his sheer teeny-ness as he sleeps in Dads hands…

Jack & Sam

YAY for boys!!

I photographed Sam when he was a wee baby, he was actually my very first ‘client’ who I didnt know as a friend or family member! I cant link back as the archives have been wiped from the old blog when I had to delete and start again.

Sam is 3 now, and this is his ‘brulla’ – Jack. And I took some picc-ers with my camma! Sam is a chatter box, I adored him! Such a little man, he had so much to say, and so much to tell me. He even showed me his special move with dancing. Cute!

Jack is 14 weeks and just the most happy chap. Very interested in everything, and you’ll notice he is looking in EVERY photo! The photos do look a bit bright of him but as I commented to his mum, his skin was really pale. Not sickly pale, just really light creamy smooth skin. Just beautiful xx
