Baby

Christina ➳ Fresh 48 by Abigail Smith

I remember fondly those first few hours when my babies were pink, wrinkly and brand new, unfortunately I don't have many photographs of them like that and wish I had captured all those tiny details that have faded in my memory. 
I was so honoured this sweet girl's momma invited me into her hospital room to do a Fresh 48 shoot of baby Christina at The Bay Hospital, it has to be one of my favourite shoots to date.  
She was snuggled, kissed, changed and soothed by her adoring momma and even had a quick check up visit from the doctor while I was there. 

The Blands ➳ Family Portraits by Abigail Smith

I love it best of all when I get to do shoots for families as they grow and change. It's so beautiful to watch Nathan become more alert and smile and interact with his parents and to watch his parents fall more and more in love with him.
Ouma is just besotted with him and he and Oupa had such a cute little moment together. Oh and of course the poodles are besotted with their brother too and had to get in on the action. 

Thingo ➳ Newborn Portraits by Abigail Smith

I always wonder when I work with newborns what potential they have, who they will grow up to be, what characters they will be know by and what great things will they do. 
Thingo was such an easy model, she slept the entire session! Here she is at 15 days new.
