The one thing that is better than photographing brand new babies is photographing a bestie’s brand new baby!

Penny and I have been mates for over 10 years and together, we have lived through the partying days, the marriage days and in the last 3 years I have got to see her flourish in to the amazing mother she was always going to be, through the ups and downs of pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. I see these two as my little nieces so spending time photographing them is treat for me too!

Tay thought that Penny was pregnant with a girl the whole way through Ruby’s pregnancy. When she was born, she said to Penny “Mum, thank you so much for giving me a baby sister, because that is what I really wanted” to which Pen replied “No worries Taya, you know I had a girl especially for you!”

Taya is a very proud and caring big sister and loves Ruby with all her heart, as you will see in these very special images.

I thought it only fitting to surround Ruby Olive in Olive leaves and Penny dressed her in a gorgeous bow by Mae and Rae. Penny has painted Ruby’s nursery in the most gorgeous pale blue and decorated with pretty pinks.
