Emilia Mae, Day 10

I have lots of catching up to do on my blog.  It's been a fairly busy time for me, work wise and personally...with hubby rupturing his achilles tendon...ouch! But things are calming down and I'm gradually getting through my editing in preparation for the countdown to the big 6 week school holidays.  So, in no particular order, I will start updating you with a selection of images all of the sessions I have missed.

Starting with...beautiful little Emilia Mae, Day 10.  Mum and Dad were so relaxed during the session, which I just love, because I know what a busy and daunting time it can be with a Newborn.  I've said it before, but it's lovely to stop still for a few hours, without the rush of  visitors coming and going and just take it all in.  I also ask parents to assist at times, which helps me and also is important for safety, particularly on the beanbag.  Every one is always more than pleased to be involved and are often quite amazed at how well baby sleeps.  But don't get me wrong, newborn baby photography generally comes hand in hand with some mess, and it's sad to say, we become quite immune to getting peed on!  I seem to remember little Emilia was fairly ladylike on this occasion!

I love neutrals, I wear a lot of neutrals myself, and as a Newborn Photographer, I think my style comes across as very neutral, lots of creams, whites and beige.  However, I do love using colour and always ask parents if they have any particular colour likes and dislikes.  On this occasion, mum wanted pinks and purples as well as some cream which is great because I absolutely love using splashes of colour and it gives me chance to experiment.    Which do you prefer, neutrals or colours and which are your favourite colours?
