I say it all the time, but one of the best aspects of my job is getting to know families, and capturing their milestones, year after year. I photographed Asta’s mum when she was pregnant with her big brother, and then I captured his newborn session. From the outset, I felt an affinity with this family. Mum and Dad are so relaxed, so intelligent, such great conversationalists, and their values just impress me with every contact I have with them. I heard about Asta’s arrival via sms while I was in a furniture shop with my son, and my excitement brought the staff running, and we all had a moment of ‘wow, a special new life has arrived’. That I can feel that excitement over the arrival of my clients’ children is just so priceless to me. Here’s a sneak peek of the beautiful Asta. (How gorgeous is her name?)
