Newborn photoshoot with 3-week-old Toby

I first met this lovely couple at their maternity photoshoot with me (see the photos here).

I knew just how excited this couple were to finally have and hold their first child together, especially as their baby will be the first grandchild on Gemma’s side of the family.

Finally, Toby arrived on Tuesday 8 February at 9:33am in the morning, weighing a perfect 7lbs and 9oz and filling the hearts of everyone that meets him. 🙂

Gemma enjoyed pregnancy and already misses her bump, but being able to see and cuddle Toby more than makes up for it!

Dad Kieran is a massive Man United fan, and he hopes his baby will follow suit. To this end, they’ve bought a Man U babygro, so that their son can start showing his allegiance to the club immediately!

Kieran loves playing and watching sport, in particular golf and football. He’s the manager of his local village team where he used to play, too, so there will be lots of opportunities for little Toby to get involved as he gets older!

The couple hope their baby will have an outdoorsy lifestyle, making the most of the fields that spread out from the doorstep of the family’s village home, with room to roam and plenty of fresh air to breathe.

Half-siblings Jackson and Jessica are looking forward to playing with their new brother, with Jessica especially keen to get him one of those remote-controlled cars children can sit in while she manoeuvres him around using the remote control!

Gemma and Kieran worked together for five years before they started dating. Little did they know back then that they would end up falling in love and starting a family together.

Now they simply couldn’t imagine life any other way, especially now perfect little Toby is here. 🙂
