Baby Ari - Brisbane Newborn Photographer
It isn't often that families with newborn babies and a toddler are early for something, but this family was in fine form!
Hugh jumped out of the car and gave me a quick high five before heading inside the studio to hunt out the best toys he could find to keep himself entertained.
Little Ari was still fast asleep, although getting out of the car did wake him a little and so he started our shoot with a feed while I photographed Hugh.
This kid has quite possibly the brightest blue eyes I have seen. So happy and sparkly too, it was so much fun to play games like "round the garden" and when he giggled and squealed his eyes would light up even further.
Family photos were next and both Hugh and Ari were really great, although just as we were getting to the sibling photos, Hugh was done.
We moved on to some lovely single photos of Ari, then invited Hugh back.
It was a no, so we continued on with little Ari.
I created a lovely navy setup using some soft tones and contrasting colours. I always tweak the setups a little as I go and take an extra option that we can include as a digital image using some of the digital drops I have in my collection. I love playing around with these kind of ideas and extending the final gallery with some simple, clever processes.
By this stage Hugh was back again and this time he was looking to have a photo with little Ari. No, this next part should come with a warning because it is off the charts cute.
So.
Are you ready?

Argh!! So cuuuute!! Both the boys were just amazing together!
It was finally time to finish off the shoot on the beanbag. I always warn families that with this part of the session, each time we move Ari, he could wake and not settle, in which case we call an end to the session.
Well Ari nailed the first photo, and just about made it through the second photo but then he woke up and realised he was hungry and so we called it stumps for the day.
They are such lovely boys, it was such a pleasure to spend the morning with this gorgeous family.
