I’m very sorry if I’ve just killed you with cuteness. You can now sympathise with how I felt editing these pictures, it was pretty much impossible not to go awwwww every few seconds. :D You will probably remember how I took some maternity portraits of Sarah & Steve at the start of July. Well, Lucinda Rose Hooton arrived fashionably late on the evening of Wednesday 22nd of July, and she did her first professional photo shoot when just 8 days old. And I have to tell you that she was one of the most agreeable models I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She smiled her way through most of the shoot, and only peed on mum once. Her only complaint was that it got a bit chilly when she was modeling in the buff, but all in all she was a little angel. And will you just look at those perfect little feet! <3

After the (very sweaty) studio session, we headed out to the park for some more pictures. I have to say that I do prefer working on location. There’s such a freedom in not being restricted by space or lighting equipment, and people tend to relax more when they’re outside, making it easier to catch those genuine moments. This is definitely where I want to move towards when it comes to portrait and maternity sessions. I personally really love these images!

Sarah’s due date is in just a few weeks and I can’t wait to meet, and photograph, the new arrival.

I’ll blog Sarah’s maternity pictures in two parts, as we shot two pretty separate sets. Sarah wanted some bump pictures in the studio, and even though I’m trying to move towards a more ‘lifestyle’ type approach with my photography, I obliged. And I must admit that it was quite fun working with studio lights after a long break – it makes you approach picture-taking differently. Working in a studio is more about building a scene rather than ‘catching’ the picture, which I quite enjoy as well. The only thing that made this part of the shoot a bit painful was the hot weather, my god, you definitely need an air conditioned studio for photo shoots in the time of heatwaves! :D
