Baby shoot went really well

I must admit I was really nervous, it's hard going into a new environment when you're not sure how good the light will be, what the people will be like etc, etc. But the couple were lovely and the flat was ideal, big white painted room with a large bay window facing north-west onto a park. The baby was a wee boy of three months, and we timed my arrival to match his lively time, although he'd woken early that morning, but I still got some great shots before he got fractious. But the best thing was that his Mum fed him at the end of the shoot and he then fell asleep on her breast and I took a few more quick shots, one of which is just stunning, he's wee fast asleep face and all I caught of his mother is her mouth smiling down at him in the top right hand corner of the frame.

It is such a smile of love. The shot looks amazing in black and white. I think it will be a lovely picture to have when he's older. I find it scary thinking you're helping to create people's family memories. I really like photographing people, but I hate the pre-match nerves, I could never do weddings!

BTW the "fee" for the shoot is going to my friend's McMillan Nurses charity fund raiser.
