So the casting casting call have begun. This is Baby E, curled up and sleeping just like a newborn – and nearly 12 weeks old. She made us work for it, though really, who does want to be poked, prodded and posed while sleeping? I also had a few things to learn about trying to make newborn style portraits with an older baby (they aren’t so bendy!). But between Baby E, her mother and I we figured it out in the end.

The photo on the left is almost the photo I was aiming to get from this session and given how close we got I am thrilled with it. I am also thrilled that it’s far from the only beautiful portrait that we made.

Thank you so much Baby E for posing so beautifully and to your mum for her patience and wonderful calm.
