Claire’s Parents, Courtney and Rob, are teachers so they’re on summer vacation right now. That’s pretty awesome timing to be figuring out life with a newborn, I’d say! And what a lucky little girl, to have both of her parents so available for the first couple months of her life.
This session definitely had that easy, laid back, summer time feel to it. Little Miss Claire was wide awake when we started, but cool as a cucumber and made it super easy to get really genuine shots of her and her family in their own surroundings, just doing their thing.
I seriously could kick myself for not having more “real life” photos like these. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, this time is just so special and often you’re still in the “fog” of new parenthood. Having these beautiful memories to look back on a little snippet of the sweetness that is life with a new baby is such a gift!
Claire’s nursery was like walking into a bit of a dream, for me! Having 3 boys, 3 nephews and ONE niece 3000 km’s away, pink hasn’t exactly been a colour that we have seen much of, and Claire’s room was the sweetest shade of baby pink and beautifully decorated with white and gold accents
I was hoping all the cozy cuddle time with her parents would knock her out so that I could do a couple photos of just little Claire, but no such luck. Turns out, though, that Daddy has the magic touch and fairly soon after some time with Rob, her eyes were getting heavy and she passed out with enough time to get some solo shots of this beauty.
Thanks Fullarton’s for inviting me to capture this special time in your life story. It was a pleasure and I hope to see you again sometime!
