Our Second Baby Bubble Captured - Newborn Photoshoot
Welcome Daisy
And then there were 4… or 5 including the pup!
Welcome to the world Daisy Dorothy Star Roberts! After a long and challenging pregnancy, Daisy arrived into the world quickly and calmly much to my and Al’s surprise. After a really long labour with Goldie we were expecting it to play out the same but as they say “the second comes quicker” (they were right).
We invited Geelong-based photographer Michelle Mckay into our new home when Daisy was 10 days old. Michelle photographed us with Goldie at the same age just over 2 years earlier (see here) so it was lovely to catch up again with our growing family. Michelle is a dream to work with and it’s safe to say that we will treasure these beautiful memories for a lifetime.
We’re slowly adjusting to our family of four, newborn demands, and big toddler emotions, not quite sure where the time has gone… feels like a blur of nappies and coffee…
