We first met Craig and Caroline, Emelia's lovely mum and dad, when Craig was best man to Gareth and Melissa who's wedding we photographed at Oulton Hall in February. Emelia hadn't yet made an appearance but her arrival was expected within the following month and Craig and Caroline expressed an interest in having some new baby photographs taken as soon as possible after their baby was born. We were very excited when we got the call from Craig to tell us that he was a proud dad and soon afterwards, we welcomed the family for Emelia's first professional baby photo shoot. The ideal time for this is from birth to ten days old and we did just miss the boat with this, as the photographs were taken when Emelia was twelve days old. You can really see the difference once babies get past ten days - they sleep less, fidget more and refuse to be moulded into any shape other than the ones they prefer! However, we set aside plenty of time, got the studio warmer than usual and with lots of patience, we managed to get some beautiful shots when Emelia was awake and also when she cat napped. Such a gorgeous baby and a lovely family. We hope to have the pleasure of meeting Emelia for a second portrait session when she is sitting.
