Gorgeous Little ISLA

Introducing Miss Isla, newest addition to the McNeil family and daughter to my good friends Kay and Trent.  I had the pleasure of taking maternity photos of Kay just before she gave birth to this little beauty and we had so much fun and I was so happy with what we got.  We spent the morning getting a few shots of little Isla and again, I was so happy with what we achieved.  She was an absolute gem to photograph and a brilliant model.

This is easily my favourite shot of the day and is probably my favourite newborn shot ever. 

I had an idea in my head but no idea really how to make it work so I just played around till I got something I was happy with.  This was the very first frame of the day too and I couldn't be happier with how it looked.  You wouldn't believe that headband was way too big for her.  I am so thrilled with this shot, I didn't care if I got nothing else.  But thankfully we got lots more and Isla was so good to play along with us.

Normally newborn sleep through the majority of the session but little Isla was too interested in what was happening around her but it was lovely to see those big beautiful eyes open :)

Modelling one of my headbands and loving it!!!

We worked really hard for this shot, Kay and I and it's hard to believe that she wasn't in the best mood by now.  It may have had something to do with her feeling a little exposed and cold but we threw the heater on and she was fine and good to go again.

This was also one of my favourite shots but I'm partial to the green and golds but thought she looked just as gorgeous in it as Kay did for the maternity shoot :)

I looooooved this one too and again one of my own headband creations :)

My adorable Grandma has been knitting away for me too lately creating special little beanies for me to use.  This is one she did but I loved it more in B&W than colour (its mainly beige and the dark stripes are hot pink).

Wide awake now but still as cute as ever.  Isla certainly is one extremely gorgeous little girl but with a gorgeous mother like Kay, I'd expect nothing less xx
