This little sweetheart was just over 2 weeks when we got to photograph her at home with her mom and dad. There’s something very special about those first few weeks when you’re home from hospital and you’re adjusting to life with your new little arrival. It’s all a little surreal, at times overwhelming, most probably sleep-deprived but most of all amazing.

Chatting with Catherine & Trevor brought the memories flooding back! The apprehension of the public health nurse’s visit! Are you doing everything ok? Has your baby put on enough weight? Lost too much weight? A constant barrage of worries but most of all it’s those early moments that you spend together as a newly formed little family unit that stay with you forever.

I really felt we were capturing something special while with Catherine, Trevor & Abbey but felt it even more so when I was looking back through the photographs after the shoot. There are glimpses of this amazing bond that’s forming between them and it was a real honour to witness it. Thanks Catherine & Trevor for inviting us into your home and we wish you much happiness with beautiful little Abbey.
