I’ve always felt that being asked to photograph someone is an honor and something I take great pride in.  Being asked and trusted to photograph a newborn baby is especially special and something that makes me feel privileged to do no matter how often I’m asked.  So when I was asked to photograph a newborn baby of a special friend I felt especially lucky. 

I’ve known Brooke for years, probably close to a decade, way before she moved to Seattle from California.  Her friendship has always meant so much to me and it’s been especially good to watch her meet the love of her life, Andrew - a fellow Brit I might add so at least we talk the same language! 

Less than two weeks ago they gave birth to a beautiful newborn baby girl called Shelby May. Lucky me got to hang out with Shelby when she was just a week old and that has to be one of the best ways to spend a Sunday morning.  She was a complete babe, never cried for the two hours that we spent working with her, never complained about the outfit changes and all she asked for was a little food halfway through.  I know Brooke really wanted to see some of the proofs so here’s a quick photo-show preview of a few of them for Mum before they come into our photography studio here in Seattle to see the rest of them.
