The arrival of a new member of the family is always a good moment to capture some family portraits. While the baby slept we started off by capturing his older sister, who had had an untimely visit from the tooth fairy (or la petite souris) the night before the portrait session ! We did try some smiles with the mouth closed but in the end the best & most natural results were those with the gap ! Once the baby was awake we captured the family together and then finally got some shots of the baby on his own. He managed to charm the socks off me by cooing and gurgling  – after I’d put the camera away of course. However I sneaked the camera out again and he carried on cooing ! Wonderful!
