Recently a couple whose wedding we covered last year, Hadassa and Jeremy, welcomed their first child into the world, an adorable little girl named Odelya. We were privileged to be asked to take some photographs of this beautiful young family and here are the results!
We went to the family home which provided a comfortable setting and the photos really shows just how casual and comfortable everyone was. Odelya was a brilliant little model (although with parents like Hadassa and Jeremy, how could she not be), and managed the entire shoot without crying. Even Patience the cat got in on the action, although, I get the feeling she felt this whole process was a bit below her, and she soon retreated to other areas of the house.
Patience modelling Odelya’s bow – i am not sure she thinks it suits her…
Odelya, by this stage, had decided she disapproved of Dad’s shirt and…ammm…ensured its removal.
Hadassa looks so gorgeous with her little bub!.
I dare you to find a cuter family. Hadassa and Jeremy clearly only have eyes for little Odelya.
We love shooting families in a natural setting of their choosing since they look most in their element there, with older families you can take them to the park, beach etc but with newborns that’s not usually an option, so shooting in the home seems like the natural choice -we even brought our own lights to deal with the difficult lighting conditions, and not blind everyone in the process. We stayed for over an hour with this family and it was time well spent, resulting in natural, beautiful photographs that can be treasured for many years to come.
Thank you so much Hadassa, Jermey, Odelya and Patience for letting us capture this precious time.
