2-month old Baby Portrait

Today I've been doing a rewarding baby portrait of Lola, a beautiful 2 month old baby girl.
I don't know, but every time I do babies kids or bumps portraits, I feel so happy and satisfied of my job, so privileged of being able to give people something so precious.
Lola makes me staying with her all day: I didn't count the time I was spending while shooting because of her beauty and calming effect she had over me, that little and perfect tiny creature.
Even if you have to follow their patterns - sleeping, feeding, changing, sleeping and feeding and changing again - photographying a baby is so easy-going because whatever they do is eye-catching, whatever the expression they have is almost certainly a loving memory for the parents, the rest of the family and friends alike.
But what makes a great photograph from an average one is the creativity and the way you can play together with the baby's needs: the more you can "pre-view" new, cute, smile-making and loving images, the better job you do.
Enjoy some of the tiny moments of today's shotting with Lola...

                                  

    

Elvaston Beauties: the perfect portraits set!

   

It recently happened to shoot for a 3 and a half boy, Shaun, at Elvaston Park. I've been quite lucky I must say, despite the recent weather conditions of mix rain, dark clouds, strong winds and very few sunny spells; but for that shoot, I was lucky enough to receive a "coup de grace".

After the shooting, I  greeted my new little friend and his parents when realised that it was ages since I enjoyed the beauty and magic of the park, so I decided to take the chance to have a walk on my own and relax and enjoy the peace and the tranquility of this incredible park and castle. This is one of the many advantages of my work: I can be in many different beautiful places because people require me to be, and Elvaston Castle and Country Park is actually not only a great place to chill down with the family, friends or your loved one, but a fantastic place for magical portraits too!

Immerge yourself in the magic of the never-ending highest trees, or the birds-home by the lake, or somewhere by the castle surroundings and the stables. I could not resist to take some photos here, too tempting! Even by the Tower, among the tombs, the atmosphere surrounded by perfecly shaped and maintained garden is source of peace and gives perfect sense of artistic perspective.

Have a look at the images that follows. Can you see yourself there? I bet they suggest the same sense of inspiration for your next portrait..... In case, pick up your phone and call me:) Francesca xxx
