Looking at this beautiful smile just lights up my heart
O is almost 6 months old and can already sit all by herself, amazing isn’t it? She and her mom have been visiting South-Africa
from London and they decided that they just had to get some beautiful baby photos taken to leave behind for the grannies. This little baby girl ios a natural model, not once did I see
her start to fuss or cry. She is absolutely contec about anything and everything. I am so grateful your sister referred you to us, because these beautiful baby photos are yours to treasure forever and ever!!!

What is it about babies that makes us smile…? Is it the naughty twinkle in a baby boy’s smile or the rosy cheeks of an angelic baby girl?! Somehow they spread joy and love wherever they are (well most of the time anyway
) This little baby boy chose today to take a break in his routine by not taking a late morning snooze. So he wasn’t too smiley when they walked through through our doors for their professional baby photos. But in the studio we had no trouble getting him to crack a smile and laugh from his belly
Between Mom, Granny and me we know all the secrets to getting babies to laugh when they are having their baby photos taken. Photographing babies is all about making it about fun and games, playing peek-a-boo behind a camera and much, much more!!! I find that the more you smile when taking photos of babies the more likely they are to smile right back at you. So just have fun!

Have you ever had someone love you truly unconditionally? So much that you actually mean the world to them…? C’s mom is like that. This little boy is ecstatic
everytime his mom comes closer to pick him up or even just talk to him. He smiles and performs
I think he is the perfect baby model and they absolutely need to enter these professional baby photos into a magazine like
baby & me or living & loving. He was an absolute pleasure to have in the studio, I smile and then he smiles. And he absolutely adores playing peek-a-boo. For more information on professional baby photos contact us on info@louisedieselphotography.co.za

Showcasing some of the weekend’s photies:
Photographing newborn babies is a dream come true for me… I have been fascinated with these little newborn angels since I have been old enough not to be one anymore
They are so tiny and precious and I could just stare at them all day long. They reflect everything the world should believe in and then some more. Little A is a precious bundle of joy, he is 3 weeks old and is such a contented little boy (They say kids get
this from their parents) He is so aware of everyone and inquisitive let me tell you, looking every which way. He adores his father and just stares into his eyes (it was such a beautiful moment :) ) Taking photos of newborn babies is something you perfect over time. The studio needs to be the right temperature, and the studio lights need to be dimmed, and don’t forget to turn the flashes down so that they won’t mind the flash. This
is where all the sentimental magic begins… I have photographed many moms, dads and their newborn babies and they have these looks of absolute contentment and wonder on their faces every single time they look at the little bundle in their hands. I absolutely love to capture this incredible bond which cannot be touched by your hand but only felt with your heart…
