Another sneak peek, this time twin boys who slept through their whole session. They were just so tiny but very happy to curl up together and pose for the camera.

And of course, their little feet. I can’t let a session go by without getting my fix of tiny baby toes.

I’m a bit of an OCD person, plus I enjoy working with Photoshop. Put those two things together and you get me sat at my computer (mostly late at night when Eve is in bed) working on photographs. Usually it takes about 2 weeks from the day of a session to prettify all the photographs and present them in their gallery. But, there’s always a few photographs from every session that just jump out at me when I’m first looking through them, ones that make me smile and that I can’t wait to get started on. Soooo, I’m introducing a new sneak peak feature. Just a little taster of a session the day after so you don’t have to wait so long to see some of your photos. (By the way, if you’re viewing this in Facebook, just click here to go to the original post and see the images in full quality.)

My very first sneak peek is of cute little baby Oran from his session only yesterday:

Newborn.ie is now on facebook and there will be lots of lovely specials and sneak peeks for fans so come on over and join us.

See you soon!

Just a quick post to say that Newborn will be at Christmas at Clermont in Rathnew this weekend.

It all kicks off tomorrow evening at 5pm in Clermont House and will be running all weekend with free admission and lots of local artisans and craftspeople showing and selling their wares. It might be a good place to do a bit of Christmas shopping, I know I’m hoping to cross a few things off my list. If you’re there please stop and say hi.

One of my favourite details to photograph in a newborn session is their tiny little feet. It can be bit of a speed sport trying to capture them because they rarely stop moving…kicking and curling and stretching…probably delighted to be free to do it! Here are a few random favourites from some recent future footballers, ballerinas, marathon runners and long-jumpers.

I just fed my blanket addiction with these two beautiful woollen throws. They’re so soft! They’ll definitely be making an appearance in some sessions this week along with my new basket.

Welcome if you’re coming via the Irish Times magazine. If you’re interested in booking a session, January is filling up fast and it looks like February won’t be far behind so please get in touch.

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you and yours had a very peaceful and happy Christmas.

I must confess to an admiration for all those who can sew, knit, crochet…anything that involves stitching or fabrics. Sadly I’ve always been a bit of a disaster at crafts, but I’d be tempted to have a go at these. Baby bootie making seems to be a bit of a lost art but this funky pattern by fabric designer Heather Bailey brings them bang up to date and it’s free to download. So, if you’re twiddling your fingers waiting for baby to make his or her appearance, maybe this is just the thing to pass the time.

Just a quick note to say that if you sent a message to me using the contact form last night your message may not have gone through. There were gremlins at work and my emails went down for a few hours yesterday evening and any information sent during that time was lost. So, if you did send me a message would you please send it through again? Sorry for the inconvenience but it’s all back up and running smoothly now.

I bumped into a friend of mine over the weekend who was out with her brand new baby boy who was sporting a very snazzy woollen all-in-one. According to my friend they got it as a gift and he’s not been out of it since. I’m not surprised, he looked so snug and cosy. I had to go online and check it out…lo and behold it’s available from Next Online who do deliveries! Talk about an easy Christmas present.

Etsy is the perfect place to find something a little bit different. Most of the items onsale are handmade and you have direct access to the artists so you can request your own customisations in many cases. A few that caught my eye:
