Willow | 7 Months

So this is the third update on little baby Willow. And she is just getting more and more adorable as she grows up!


What with Christmas busyness and schedules clashing for Emily & I, we just slightly missed Willow's 6 month shoot.  So instead we did the shoot a little later. 


And I am so glad we waited, as Willow is now sitting by herself! While I was photographing her, she was pulling some of the funniest faces too (how cute is she when she wrinkles her nose!?!).  Made me laugh so much!  She really is such a little poser and has these shoots down to a tee now :)


It is so amazing to see her little personality coming out as she is growing and Emily & Ryan are doing a styling job bringing Willow up.


It's always such a joy to do these shoots.  Looking forward to the next two shoots and then producing the album for Emily & Ryan of the first year of Willow's life :)

meet baby Willow.  you might remember, or see from a couple of blog posts back, that I took photos at my friend's, Emily, baby shower.  well, here is her little one...arriving in the world a week and a half ago.  I was so excited to finally meet her when we visited Emily and Ryan in hospital..I was also really eager to have a cuddle with her, but unfortunately she was sleeping and looked too peaceful to wake up.  


I have asked Emily and Ryan if I can document the first year of her life and then make a photograph book for them to show her when she is older.  this will be my first attempt to photograph babies, have seen some really stunning ideas to try...heres hoping my attempt goes ok! :)

winter babe.......maternity shoot of emily and ryan :)

our lovely friends emily (one halve of I Heart Your Outfit) and ryan are expecting their first child in a couple of months...super exciting! being friends with them for many years, I was so stoked to have them ask me to take some shots of them both plus bump :)

as this baby will be a winter baby, they wanted some maternity pics that were wintery and beachy, so we headed down to the beach one cloudy, but warm, day to capture this moment in their lives.  

   

now all we have to do is wait for baby coetzee to arrive!  i really can't wait!

ok, this is a bit cheesey but i love this scene from the disney movie dumbo, which was one of my favourite films when i was little.  then, i used to cry at this scene every time.  so to end off, here is 'baby of mine' from dumbo :)
