Even though it’s November, when I met adorable little May it sure felt like Spring. At 11 weeks, May is very lively. Even though her mom tried hard, she just wouldn’t go to sleep. So we made do and started taking photos. One of the challenges with newborn photography is the subject doesn’t care what mom, dad or the photographer wants. We had a wonderful time bouncing around the house in search of photo opportunities and May was quite cooperative.
This blanket that’s wrapped around May belongs to her dad, who I was told, “comes from a family of knitters.” They certainly make fine quality products.
I just love this photo, probably my favorite from the shoot. May’s mom and dad are both from England. They have fabulous accents and use words like “cot” and “pram” (say it with a British accent) to describe a crib and stroller.
Mom trying to bounce May to sleep. The light falling on May from the nearby window is so soft and gentle.
I found soft white fleece at G Street Fabrics which I think adds a nice texture to the background.
Their bathroom has this absolutely beautiful blue wall and I just knew we had to get some shots in there. I was standing in the tub, leaning up against the wall to get these. Doesn’t May curl up so nicely in mom’s arm?
May was full of giggles and smiles while laying in her cot.
Many thanks to May’s mom and dad for inviting me to their lovely home. I had a truly wonderful time.
