I absolutely love my job, I love when people give me a call and ask me to photograph their newborn, baby, children or family. When a family arrives in my studio my first priority is for the child to feel comfortable in their surroundings, to them I am a stranger and at times it can be very scary when they meet a stranger.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a 5.5 month baby girl. When this sweet little girl arrived in my studio she was lying snug in her pram and I noticed she seemed a big frightened. Automatically I pull back, give her space and allow her mum and dad to undress her and let her take in her new surroundings. I will gently speak to her and try and get her to feel more at ease in my company and within the next 15 minutes we had swapped watery scared eyes with big smiles. The moment when you watch a child warm up and allow their personality to shine through in photos are just amazing and it is one of the reasons I love my job.

I love the 5-8 month age, at this age they are starting to explore their surroundings more. They will look at you with wonder and tend to smile a lot. They are comfortable on their tummy and will look at you when you speak to them. They will show their emotions whether it is wonder, smile, laughter or tiredness. The little ones will touch and feels as they explore and I just adore the way they eat or their hands or touch their toes.

Looking at the images below I guess you will all agree that they are simply adorable at this age.
