I was in love the moment I met baby Charlotte Erin – what an absolutely gorgeous little angel she was! Perfect in every way possible, Charlotte had me ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ while I spent the morning with her – she was simply divine!
Photographing in her home with her adoring parents, Shaun and Jessica, along with their two boisterous and loving labradors Oscar and Bruno, was a beautiful way to capture some very precious moments in this family’s life.
Enjoy a small handful of some of my favourite photos from this lifestyle newborn session.
Special thanks go to Shaun who patiently ‘encouraged’ Oscar and Bruno to sit and stay for this beautiful family portrait. There were many treats for these two playful labradors and lots and lots of laughs and out-takes to get this one image … but it was so worth it!
“After the arrival of our little girl Charlotte, I was looking for a photographer who would be able to capture some beautiful memories of her as a newborn, along with some candid family shots. Leanne came highly recommended by my sister in law Melissa, and it didn’t take long to see why.
Leanne created such a calm and relaxed environment, which immediately put all of us at ease and made a process I would usually dread, really enjoyable and memorable. It was obvious Leanne was very experienced working with newborns, and her gentle nature when interacting with Charlotte in turn produced some of our favourite shots.
Leanne’s patience didn’t just apply to photographing Charlotte, but also extended to our 2 boisterous labradors who are incapable of sitting still. We were hoping (but not realistically expecting) to have a family photo that included them, and because of Leanne’s experience and sheer determination we got the shot we were all hoping for!
From the initial consultation right up until the delivery of our photos, Leanne was ever the professional and such a pleasure to deal with. Everything came beautifully presented, and we could not have been happier with the final prints. I cannot recommend Leanne highly enough, and we will no doubt be using Leanne Stamatellos Photography as the family expands!
Thanks so much again Leanne!” – Jess
