Ever wondered about the winners of our competitions? Maybe even asked if our competitions are real? We welcomed the very beautiful Maisie along last week from Leicestershire, winner of our Northampton Baby Show competition held in September.
We’re very used to babies being a little uncertain of us at first, its only natural that they need to suss us out before their true character is at ease. Little Maisie had no qualms about the studio, and was a dream to photograph.
Maisie has very striking features, and delivered a range of expressions from intense concentration, relaxed and serene to to pure laughter when the puppets made an appearance. We knew when she’d relaxed as she was fast, although not walking yet she can move like a rocket on all fours and put us through our paces. We had a great game of crawl-away-from-the-spotlight which she enjoyed and kept us on our toes as we retrieved her, producing various toys to entice her to be still enough to photograph. We’re told that our mini customers are always exhausted after a shoot…… I’ll be honest, so are we!!!

As always, we were grateful to mum for being an active participant which is always vital for our children to truly relax and feel settled. We’re always thrilled when parents allow us to photograph their baby without too many fussy clothes which are distracting in the final image. We always want the nappy covered though, lets face it, they’re not attractive but a nappy cover can actually draw the eye to the area, so we decided on semi-casual jeans only for an informal look which she worked well!
We love the shot with mum when they are both laughing (we were making daft faces and embarrassing ourselves as always) but also the shot with Maisie standing with mum, as mums cape and boots work well in the image.

With so many gorgeous shots, of which the blog provides a taster, we don’t envy mum and dads choice in choosing their prize. Thanks to mum for a fun afternoon and to the beautiful Maisie for being so lovely to work with.
