Newborn photos at three weeks old

I first met this lovely family just before the pandemic turned everything inside out.

They attended a newborn photoshoot as part of the wider family celebrating the birth of this gorgeous girl (see the images here).

Now, the family are delighted to welcome another perfect arrival, so the family reconvened to capture the moment, with baby’s aunt, uncle and grandparents on both sides participating.

Several members of the family work together at the family business, including baby’s mum. 

The business has done incredibly well, doubling in size over the last five years, which means there’s always lots to talk about when everyone meets up!

The family are very close-knit, always making time for each other.

Impressively, they even managed to coordinate for everyone to be off at the same time so they could go on an Italian road trip together.

This little one arrived on Boxing Day – so we made sure to include some images with a festive flavour, like this image with the Santa hat and the one below with Christmas PJs.

Her mum and dad are most looking forward to enjoying her smiles, so I was super delighted to capture a couple of them on camera, like this one here:

We also had time for one rather fun image, made with my upcoming book, 52 Family Photography Assignments, in mind:

(No babies were thrown in the making of this image!)

One thing is for sure: this little one has landed right at the centre of a big, loving family who are already completely besotted with her!
