Highlight: Seeing Emily Ovenden and her 5 day old new born babe!
Lowlight: The delights that a nappyless bottom brings to the proceedings
Fill in: Emily Ovenden has managed to get through her pregnancy without the rest of the world knowing, but when the baby was actually out she felt it was time to tell the world at large! So naturally a picture was required and I was more than up for having a go at my first new born shoot (apart from Kyle of course but he doesn't count..). The baby was fab and woke up at just the right time and didn't cry - a superstar in the making. He was a natural in front of the camera and had no inhibitions about his body (or his body functions come to that).
Tech Spec: Emily's flat had beautiful natural light form a north facing window. Saxon has inherited his mother's lovely pale complexion and raven locks so the soft light was perfect. I used a white duvet cover to reflect light back into the subjects, we scattered some rose petals and the rest was easy (well Emily got a stiff neck, aching arms and a handful of Saxon's finest but it was pretty easy for me anyway). A photoshopped rose petal frame was added afterwards.
