For some inexplicable reason woman can’t help but feel attracted to newborn babies.  I believe this is what helps make our newborn baby photos  so beautiful!  They are little miracles with so much potential, a clean slate waiting to be filled wait adventures.  Newborn babies

represent love in it’s purest form.  Little C is exactly one week and a day old on the day she was photographed.  And she may look tiny but she already weighs 3.8 kg’s.  If you have ever watched a couple looking at their newborn child you will notice that there is such tenderness involved in every little touch of the hand or whisper that everything will be okay.  That is what we capture in the photos of your precious baby photos.  I

could just sit and stare at newborn babies all day, they stir something unknown deep in my heart.  It could almost be explained as we use our maternal instincts to photograph these beautiful miracles.  I would recommend bringin baby in when they are between 3-7 days old.  They have

this newborn look along with the cutest little wrinkles on their arms and legs.  Try and schedule a provisional shoot for your newborn so that you already have contact details and addresses so if baby comes early and it feels like chaos has taken over your life at least one more thing is taken care of

The last time I saw “J” was when he was but a few months old…  His hair was much darker (almost black) and he had a fair skin (seeing that he was still a baby and didn’t get exposed to sun too much.  I can’t believe how big he has gotten.  He slides everywhere on his tummy and can now sit

by himself   This is one of the pleasure’s of being a photographer, you get to be a part of someone else’s life and this makes every photoshoot special in it’s own right.  You have to be quick when photographing toddlers, they often don’t like to lie on their tummy’s for a very long time and

get bored really fast.  Get down to their level and entertain them.  Play peek-a-boo from behind the camera and remember to smile a lot.  Children tend to imitate our behaviour so of course they might just smile back at you.  Try to capture every little smile and expression as they seem to have so many of them.  Have fun!

We hope this year will be a great year for you and your family.  Perservere in your efforts and great rewards will be reaped.  Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you will land among the stars!  We look forward to looking after all your photographic needs in 2010.

Toddlers are much more mobile than smaller babies and these are usually very high-energy photoshoots.  Imagine a little boy
crawling around and around on the backdrop and you can only take a photo every time they come around?  Having photographed so

many toddlers we have more than enough experience to ensure that we can make the photoshoot fun and enjoyable for the whole
family.  We put them in a shell filled with coloured balls, play peek-a-boo from behind the camera and sing along to their

favourite songs.  All this to make sure we get the most captivating photos of your little busy body!

Little babies like “C” are busy busy busy.  They don’t like being handled and held all the time, they’d rather be sitting on the
floor or crawling around.  So the trick is to make it fun.  Tickle them and throw them into the air.  Play peekaboo and remember

to keep smiling and encouraging them, as they tend to imitate their parents behaviour.

Being pregnant is such a special time in a woman’s life.  It signifies that you have reached a stage in your life where you are
ready to bring someone into your life who is going to change your life.  Such a big responsibility.  Your body starts to change

and prepare for the little baby who is starting to grow inside your womb.  Maternity Photos is a way to creatively document
this wonderful time in your life.  Pregnancy photos have evolved into something of an artform.  These photos are now prominently

displayed in homes all over.  Every pregnant belly and pregnancy is different from the next.  Take your time to look for a female
photographer with whom you feel comfortable with and enjoy!
