Baby Taylor – Maternity, Birth and New Born

If you were to ask me what my FAVOURITE thing to photograph is, I’d probably tell you all about how I love to photograph what love looks like.  To me it’s not at all about things, very little to do with achievement, and even less about being stylie, pompous or cool.  I just love connection between people.  Because at the end of the day, at the end of our lives, it’s actually what matters.  So it is with GREAT joy I can show you this series of Nicola and Ray, from their maternity, birth and new born images.

Being invited into a birthing room is somewhat sacred.  These are some of the most amazing of life’s moments, true, raw and completely unscripted.  Without a doubt the most rewarding thing I have found to photograph.

Ray was such a rock for Nicola, being there every minute.  Even when you’re not sure what to do, just being present is huge.

Less than a week later I headed out to Nicola and Ray’s house to get some lovely natural at home images.  This is one SERIOUSLY cute baby!
