Newborn baby Joseph just couldn’t wait till his due date, set to be early in the New Year, so he decided to pop along 2 weeks early to get in on some of the Christmas fun with his lovely new family!
11 day old Joseph and his family from East Hunsbury in Northampton, popped along to our studio for his newborn shoot after responding to one of our New Year casting calls just before the Christmas holidays. Every so often we like to extend our reach a little and have found that by far the best way is by good old fashioned word of mouth.
Mum expressed an interest in our South Northamptonshire casting call and very kindly let us pose and photograph little Joseph, a fantastic way for Debbie and myself to kick off 2015!
After meeting and greeting the family, including Joseph’s impeccably well behaved sister, Mum gave baby Joseph his first bottle of milk. Sometimes a single feed is enough to send baby into the desired milk drunk state but Joseph was a hungry little fella and so needed a second bottle to really settle him.
After his top-up feed and a cuddle, Joseph fell into a deep sleep which allowed Debbie to get to work with the posing/styling. As always, she kept the posing as simple and comfortable as possible so as to enhance and capture Joseph’s natural form.
A part from a few of the usual groans and calls of mild protest, Joseph photographed a dream, even if this strong little boy didn’t want to be too tightly snuggled into the tighter poses. Actually, our favourite photo’s are the tightly cropped close-ups of Joseph, he looks so peaceful and serene!
What better way to kick start the New Year than with a new life?! A massive thanks to Mum and Dad for giving us the opportunity to photograph their precious newborn baby Joseph!, we really hope to meet you all again in the future…
