I photographed Kai as a newborn, so was delighted to catch up with his family this afternoon and see the changes after 10 months. All big blue eyes and on a serious charm offensive .

The afternoon light at this time of year is so soft and gorgeous. The beaches are also a lot quieter and we can start the sessions early which is so much easier with young children. At 12 weeks old, Kuba was very relaxed and mellow as he hung out with his parents this afternoon.

The trouble with having an older sister is that she has done everything before you. She knows that at the end of a Cake Smash you get a bubble bath. And there is no way she’s going to miss out on joining you today.

My Mum has been the one constant throughout my entire life and having her unconditional love has created a powerful sense of belonging for me. I’ve always known what it has been to be loved, and to love in return. I’m so grateful for this beautiful gift from her. Happy Mother’s Day Mum

Having her moment in the sun.

My newborn sessions can take 2-3 hours, so there is no feeling rushed if your baby needs to feed or settle. And plenty of time for the star of the show to nap along the way.

With arms and heart full of his boys.

I feel grateful to have been invited into so many families over the last year to capture the power of motherlove, in all its forms. I’ve only included a couple of photos from the 70 Christmas mini-sessions, otherwise the video would be too long! And wishing love and strength to all the mothers I have photographed on behalf of Heartfelt.

How’s the serenity?
