Newborn

Christina ➳ Fresh 48 /  by Abigail Smith

I remember fondly those first few hours when my babies were pink, wrinkly and brand new, unfortunately I don't have many photographs of them like that and wish I had captured all those tiny details that have faded in my memory. 
I was so honoured this sweet girl's momma invited me into her hospital room to do a Fresh 48 shoot of baby Christina at The Bay Hospital, it has to be one of my favourite shoots to date.  
She was snuggled, kissed, changed and soothed by her adoring momma and even had a quick check up visit from the doctor while I was there. 

Thingo ➳ Newborn Portraits /  by Abigail Smith

I always wonder when I work with newborns what potential they have, who they will grow up to be, what characters they will be know by and what great things will they do. 
Thingo was such an easy model, she slept the entire session! Here she is at 15 days new.
