Welcome to the World, Baby Parker 🤍

Eleven days new and already an absolute dream — Parker, we are so glad you finally made it into the studio!

Parker came in this morning with mum Ashley, dad Chris and big brother Rhylan in tow, and honestly, the whole session just had such a beautiful, relaxed energy from start to finish. Parker did exactly what newborns do best — curled up, stayed cosy and let me work my magic. We did take a little pause mid-session for a top-up feed (because priorities, right?), and then it was right back to business without a single complaint. An absolute pro.

What made this session extra special is that it wasn't our first time with this family. Way back in 2021, I had the pleasure of photographing Rhylan as a newborn, and seeing him walk back through the studio door as a big brother was one of those moments that genuinely fills your heart. He has grown so much and was so proud of his little brother — the best kind of reunion.

These are the sessions I love most. Watching families grow, come back and trust me with these early, fleeting moments is something I never take for granted. Parker will only be this tiny for such a short time, and Ashley and Chris now have these images to hold onto forever.

Congratulations again to the whole family — Rhylan, you are going to be the best big brother. 🤍
