After a gorgeous maternity shoot with mum & dad, I had the pleasure of welcoming their wee little girl Kiana for a newborn art session to my studio in Iluka, Joondalup. Although I had prepared some set-ups in advance, mum and I selected a few more colours, headbands and wraps to make the photographs fit their home decor. Initially mum & dad had been presented with a gift voucher from a dear friend at her baby shower. A perfect present, as these photographs will no doubt always remind them of how tiny little Kiana was at 9 days old. One of the advantages of getting a newborn baby in early for a shoot, is that they are still perfectly happy to be put into curled up positions as it resembles their confinement in the womb. When babies are past 3 weeks, this gets increasingly more difficult.  Oh yes, and dad loved the fact that I could take a picture of his girl with an All Black’s rugby ball!!
