Welcome to the World, Baby Penelope 🤍

Twelve days new and an absolute dream from start to finish — Penelope, today was such a special one.

Penelope came in with mum Tamara, dad Andrew and big brother Xavier, and for me this session was extra special. Eight years ago I had the pleasure of photographing Xavier as a newborn and seeing him walk back through the studio door today as a big brother was just incredible. Eight years! It is one of those moments that reminds you exactly why this job is so meaningful. He has grown into such a wonderful young boy and it was so great having him back in.

Penelope was an absolute star throughout the entire session. She settled straight in, slept beautifully from start to finish and let us work through a gorgeous range of setups, props and colours without a single complaint. So many beautiful photos for  Tamara and Andrew to choose from for their beautiful collection.

Tamara and Andrew, thank you so much for trusting me with Penelope's newborn session and for coming back after all these years. It truly means the world. Penelope, you are so tiny, so perfect and so very loved. Welcome to the world sweet girl. 🤍
