The gorgeous 7 day old Poppy’s {Newborn shoot} in Great Barr, Birmingham

Little Poppy was born about 10 days early and only weighed 5 lb 13 oz, but let me tell you, all of that is utter adorableness!

I knitted a new hat for her session (like I do for all my newborn sessions) and it was waaaayyyy to big! I had to clamp it at the back of her head just to stay on. I also couldn’t use the newborn cocoon wrap that I made, because this little lady was just so dinky.

Dinkyness however has it’s advantages. The smaller the baby, the more sleepy they are. This is also another reason for needing to do the newborn photographs within the first 10 days.

Poppy was a superstar. She took most of the poses in her stride and only complained occasionally about being moved about and disturbed from her sleep. Her Mum and Dad was amazing on the day, even though they did suffer from the customary ‘new parent, lack of sleep syndrome’ and assisted me in getting her settled and comfortable in the poses throughout the day.

To say I absolutely adored everything about this shoot is an understatement, and I sincerely hope you like the resulting images as much as I do!
