Newborns!  Don't you just love them?  So tiny, delicate and sleepy, well, some of the time anyway. 

This little chap was so well behaved for the whole session so we were able to move him around into different positions and locations without too much trouble.  Plus, it was another stunning property with lovely window light and gorgeous furniture which always makes for a great set of photographs.

I'm always alarmed at how amazing (and awake) the mummies look when I turn up to photograph newborn babies.  I came across a photo of myself the other day when my own son was a few days old, and let me tell you, my image was a far cry from this glamourous mum.  Elasticated waistbands were my new best friend for several months after the birth. 

But anyway, back to this gorgeous family. I really was spoilt for choice as to where to photograph him;  every room was decorated to perfection with gorgeous colours and textures which I always look out for when I turn up for a home session.  I particularly loved the muted tones of the master bedroom where we did the majority of the photographs, this colour palette really suits a sleepy newborn image.
