Brisbane Newborn Photographer | My first newborn session

newborn sessionLet’s go back in time…  My first newborn session !

After photographing so many babies over the past 2 years at Isabelle Newborn Photography, I thought about the very first baby I photographed over 2 years ago.  Back then, I never published a post about her newborn session, never blogged about it either…  I didn’t even have a blog at the time, or a website.  This weekend was one of those times when I get a little nostalgic about the time that goes past.  And I thought about how my little ones were growing so fast, how those 2 years have passed  so (too) quickly.  Becoming a full-time newborn photographer certainly didn’t help with that.  Before that, I was studying photography, and I thought, that I was busy.  Little did I know that life would become even busier, and that learning (in newborn photography) never stops, and that it is such a  (an amazing)  journey.

So….  let’s go back to that day, when this little girl, with her mum whom I knew from the French mother’s group I am part of, came to visit me to take some photos of her new baby girl.  She was so beautiful, and so so tiny.  As a matter of fact, she still is, up to this day, one of the smallest babies I have ever photographed.  She wasn’t a very tall baby either, and I remembered her    Eenie Meenie little cheeks.  They were sooooo cute !

I have always been very good with babies.  They have something special which I have always been drawn to.  Even when I was a little girl, if there was a new baby coming to visit us, you can be sure I would wash my hands, sit  on a couch properly just to have some newborn cuddle.  Today I have 3 of my own, and this passion still hasn’t left me.

I will always remember that day, when I had to focus on baby while still mastering my camera….  sort of !  Here are some of the photos that I took that day.  While my style has evolved, my angles, my light…  I still love these photos.  Although my angles have changed, they already were what I still like to photograph today  : close up photos of baby’s beautiful face.

This little princess now lives on the other side of the world, sadly I never got to see her grow.  I would like to finish this article saying “merci” to her mum.  Thank you for trusting me !  I will never forget.  Isabelle x
