Ohhhhhhhhh Baby Archie

I must admit, I was a tad nervous about Master Archie. He is nearly 3 weeks old, and usually at this age there is no sleepy sleeps for The Cupcakes Lady, nor any happiness at being awake and not held! Luckily, he was just so happy awake, with the added bonus of being delish and just so sweet. What a total sweetheart, I think I am in love. My ovaries gave a slight cough looking through the proofs... Not enough of a cough though! I think they need whooping cough to convince me to have more babies! What a wonderful job, cuddles and time with newborns. Ahhhhh.....

I also have to admit to being in a bit of a block regarding newborns. I LOVE fresh babies, but there is only so much you can do until all newborn sessions start looking the same. And I never want that. I want fresh, and unique and new. I wanted to just stop thinking about posing the baby and doing limited shots and just letting the baby Be. And letting myself Be. Watching the baby, shooting from the heart and getting images that have so much feeling. because isn't that what being a newborn baby in this world all about? Babies bring so much love, happiness (and sleeplessness!) into peoples lives, I just want to capture that. And I really think I did with Archie... xx
