Bombproof Baby | Wellington Newborn Photographer

Demelza, Brad, and Oskar came to visit first for a Boobs in the Berries Class and then ultimately in my studio.  My favourite thing to do with photography is to find out what makes a family unique and to work with the family to make sure that I capture it completely.  This muzo/nordic family really took the cake for me.  I think we scored on this shoot....It was so much fun.  And bless their hearts were they patient with me when they came for their viewing.  I was having a technological melt down day and they just smiled and cracked jokes through it all.  And their parents were just the sweetest too!

  22. Brings new meaning to my baby mantra ... make sure they can sleep through a band playing! Oskar will wake up when there is silence. Keep on drumming Brad. Lovely pics. (xxx from G. Aunt Caroline and cuz Janie + Tom who could both sleep to a band playing)
