Oh my ovaries! Just look at this beautiful 5 week old bub and his gorgeous family. Mum Lucy and I met around 4 years ago now before the birth of our first born gals at the brilliant Yogaco preggy yoga in York so it has been really special to be able to document their family over the last couple of years. Their first family shoot was almost a year to the day of this one: a lovely, leafy outdoor Autumn shoot.

When I heard that Sonny had been born, I thought it would be the perfect chance to try out some of my favourite newborn shots and styles with a family that I love to photograph; just look at those dazzling and natural smiles! Plus their lovely new house made the perfect backdrop. 

Despite the dark Autumnal morning, we managed to snatch some spot-on light to create this dreamy gallery. This really has been one of my favourite ever shoots to work on and I hope you feel half as obsessed as me! I just love big sister Bella's cracking smile and enthusiasm about her new brother, Sonny's perfect tiny features and his slightly squiffy eyes in that precious brand-new way.  There's no mistaking the special love oozing from proud Mum and Dad. 

I have recently adapted my newborn shoot package to include ALL of the best images from your shoot edited in the exclusive Essens style - no limit on the number! Give me a call or email to find out more.

I've included a few of my favourites here and you can catch the whole gallery by following the arrow to the link above.

Enjoy! Amy xx
