Finally … a few images of beautiful Grace! These photographs are from the night she was born, and she is about an hour old in them. Mum and dad’s intention was for me to be there when she arrived to capture all of those very emotional moments when they first lay eyes on their daughter, but Grace had other ideas. Things went from a phone call saying “things are going slowly, stay at home for now”, to “come now! come now!” within two hours! Grace was born while I was parking my car at the hospital! We had lots of lovely cuddles, and it was very overwhelming to meet this treasured little girl after all these months.

Formally introducing Grace Emma …

Nanna Robyn’s very first cuddle with Grace. I love this photograph – my favourite from the night!

I love this image too … Nanna Yvonne and Grace checking each other out for the first time …

This is from the next day … Mum and Grace having cuddles …

I’ll have a bunch of photographs from day six to post over the weekend … and more to follow after a full family session this weekend … get used to seeing this beautiful face here!

This post is one week overdue, but the announcement needs to be made in any case. My great friend, Amanda, delivered her healthy, beautiful daughter Grace, at 6pm Sunday 10th of February. She weighed 6lbs 1/2 oz, and measured 50cm in length! She is tiny and just perfect!

There have, of course, been a lot of snuggly cuddles with Grace and on Saturday morning we had a quick, mini photo session with Grace to make sure we captured all of her newness. She was so well behaved, even though we got her out of her warm clothes for it! We also got a handful of family photos too, and I’ll post a peak at them as soon as I have them ready for the web.

Its so amazing and overwhelming to have Grace here after what seems like forever! She is already bringing so much joy to her family’s lives, and I can’t wait to watch her grow and change as the years go by … with camera in hand, of course!
