Little Bundle of Person-hood: Baby Lucas

So a few months ago I did a maternity photo shoot with Aurélie & Alex… and a few months later, I was delighted to be invited back to photograph their newborn, baby Lucas

At only eight days old, I was a little concerned that he might be a little on the wee side to be my model… but after a sluggish start (lots of eating and the you-know-what – that happens after eating) he warmed up to me and the camera shutter… and from then on, things went swimmingly.

A big shout out to Aurélie who is one of the most patient people on earth, and to Alex for changing Lucas every half and hour (he was a little peeing, pooping, burping and farting maching)… oh and for helping me hold the reflector every now and then too.

Here are some highlights of the day.

Okay so this is his ‘grumble bum’ face… guess he didn’t appreciate being woken from his nap!

This is where he started ‘spacing out’ again… it’s tough being a superstar baby model, but someone’s gotta do it.

Congratulations again to Aurélie & Alex on  turning  two, into a very happy three!

I’ve promised them that I’ll return in a few months to get a few photos of Lucas when he’s a little bigger. Looking forward to that shoot already!
