I had a wonderful baby photo session a few weeks ago and decided that there really was no better reason to re-commence the blogging then the celebration of a new life :-)
At just seven days old, baby Amélie was my youngest client to date when her parents invited me into their home to take her picture. We had it all timed and planned perfectly so that Amélie would be fast asleep and co-operative for her first photo shoot. Amélie, however, had other ideas and insisted on paying close attention to everything that was going on and letting us know when she thought we weren't posing her correctly to bring out her best side!
After a break for the little lady to have some well earned milk (and some tea & cookies for me and Dad), we were back in business - still wide awake mind you! Some of my favourite images from the shoot are below, and you can see some more in a slideshow over on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/niamhcullinanephotography
Amélie is a very bright baby and has already mastered the internet. You can read all about her adventures in her blog: http://lesaventuresdameliesophie.blogspot.com/
A huge thank you to Amélie's parents, Kristin & Séan, for not only inviting me into their home to spend some time with their beautiful little daughter and giving me such a warm welcome, but also for allowing me to share these pictures.
PS: While I was packing up my gear, she fell fast asleep :-)

Cradled into her mother's hand - safe & secure. |

I don't think I've actually had a baby photo session yet where at some point the studio didn't come under attack and get eaten! |

I love the intimacy of this moment between mother and daughter. |
