Baby Blake Tiger Russell

So I've been a bit slack in getting this update up here for you - please forgive me, I've had the dreaded flu that makes you feel like death warmed up and just plain dreadful!

On Sunday 28th June, I was invited to take some family portraits for Simone and Steve and their new baby Boy Blake Tiger Russell! It was a cold and dreary day, but this little man lit up the room and warmed your soul when you looked into his tiny little face. Just a little angel!

It was feeding time when I arrived, so after a quick feed, it was time to get Simone, his very lucky Mummy into pamper mode and turn her into a yummy mummy!
Once make-up was finished, it was time for another feed and then a visit to the land of nod for a quick nap where I was able to get some gorgeous pictures of his tiny features which I am still amazed by!





After waking up from a quick nap, it was time for another feed (a man's gotta eat after all!) and I was able to capture these beautiful shots...





Then it was time to have snuggles and photos with Dad whose adoring gaze barely left his baby boys. The bond these two have is just beautiful and the best part, was that Steve allowed me to capture it all on camera!







Next to have snuggles was Mum, who like Dad is just besotted with her little man! It's a mutual feeling I believe because like with his Daddy, his gaze barely left her! What a beautiful thing it must be to be a parent and have an unbreakable bond with your child...







While we were preparing to shoot some more pictures, I spotted a big teddy bear, and thought it would be cute to capture just how small Blake really was at 10 weeks old. To give you some perspective, the teddy bear when it's sitting comes up to my hip - I am 154cm tall which means the bear is almost a metre tall when sitting...





How tiny is he?! It blew my mind seeing this fragile little life form against a gigantic bear! Amazing!

Next up was time for some portraits of Mum, Dad and Blake, and this has got to be one of my faves...



And last but definitely not least, is this adorable picture of Blake and his gummy grin! His wee little face just lights up the room and reminds you that there is still good in this world...



Thanks again to Simone and Steve for inviting me into their home to meet their wonderful little family and capture these special moments. It was an honour and a pleasure and I hope we can do it again some day!

If you know of a new addition whose families would be interested in capturing these precious moments, please feel free to pass on my details or indeed contact me on their behalf if you would like to purchase a photo session with me as I have gift certificates available on request.

Best wishes,

Melani
