3+1=4 | Marguerite’s Newborn Session | Brisbane Newborn Photography

It is such a wonderful feeling having clients return with their new babies as their families grow. Seeing how much their little ones have grown from their newborn session to now be so witty, independent, funny, smart, and with such beautiful personalities just amazes me. Of course at two years old they can have a mind of their own! Getting something great with them and their new baby brother or sister can be a challenge, and having a lot of patience is very important! But then, when you get images like these from Marguerite’s newborn session it reminds you just how absolutely worth it it is to persist with these young ones. Eleanor’s love for her baby sister Marguerite is blossoming and at moments I could see how in awe she is of her.

Marguerite’s name means “daisy”, but also “pearl” and “child of light”. Her second name, Beatrice, means “bringer of joy”. What a wonderful combination of meanings! A child of light, bringing joy to the world. Like when smelling a freshly picked daisy or flower you can’t not feel refreshed, and when spoilt with flowers from a loved one you light up and feel their love. This family truly is a family who brings light and joy wherever they go. Not only does Sophie have an absolutely amazing singing voice, but she also leads worship in church while both her and Richard are amazing examples of Jesus’ love for us. I have had the joy of photographing them three times now and hope for that to continue as their little ones grow up.

Richard and Sophie, it has been so wonderful enjoying all four of your beautiful faces on my screen, thank you for sharing your baby girls with me!

Having updated photos of your family tells such great stories as the years pass, stories that your kids will continually look back on and enjoy as they look through your photos. It truly is a confidence booster for them when they see photos of themselves in your home.

Newborn photography is so much more than just photos. Newborn photos, when taken professionally, capture the essence of a new baby. Their tiny details, how curly they are, how sweet they sleep, what they might have been like in the womb… Photographing these young babies, often in their first week or ten days of birth, is something truly special to me that I wholeheartedly love and celebrate in my heart.

If you’re reading this and are expecting your own, or someone close to you is, I would LOVE to be considered for your newborn photography. Bookings can be done as early as your 20th week of pregnancy, as we only make the final date once your baby is born. Making a tentative date beforehand ensures you can have peace of mind that the session is scheduled, you won’t forget or get lost in all that’s happening close to the birth, and you can ensure that I am available for your date. I hope to hear from you soon! :)
