Matthew - 10 Days

One of my very very favourite families to photograph has just added a new member to their family! Dave and Amanda were one of the first first people to take a chance and hire me as their photographer just over a year ago. I was so nervous the very first time I photographed them and their son, Michael.
I was so happy to see them again this morning with their beautiful new son, Matthew.
Matthew is 10 days old now, and is such a handsome baby. I was excited to use some of my new props on a baby other than my own, and I even tried a few natural light shots. I really love how they turned out, and I've decided I'm going to try and incorporate more and more natural light photography to my newborn portfolio.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy and I truly hope I get to see you all again:)

This is cute... the last time I saw Michael was in the fall and he wanted NOTHING to do with getting his photo taken. It made me so happy that he was smiling and super cheeky for me today!

I adore this family:)

So small in daddy's hands.

Bright-eyed Matthew.

I think I've got a wee obsession for baby feet...

He's going to be a tall boy!

Mom wanted to have their wedding bands incorporated in some photos.

Our last photo of the day, and one of my favourites. I love his little feet, and both mom and dad's wedding bands. I can feel the emotion in this one.
