Newborn shoot: Darla’s first photo shoot

I photographed Leanne’s bump shoot with Sky Living a few weeks ago and today Leanne came back with 4 week old Darla and dad Lee for a very quick shoot for a Christmas present. Leanne just wanted a shot of Darla on Lee’s  arm as a gift for his mum but she looked so cute in her little red dress and headband that I just had to shoot a portrait of her while she was still asleep. It took just a couple of minutes to set up some blankets and a hot light for a quick snap of her before shooting her on Lee’s arm. We really did only take a few shots as the studio is in a state (I am extending the shooting space by knocking a wall through so there was dust everywhere!) and we were all short on time. Leanne and Darla will be back after the Christmas break for a proper newborn shoot.
