Meeting Ruby, a full two weeks old

Last week I went to photograph little Ruby, at the ripe old age of... 2 weeks! She is the youngest little person I've ever photographed, and I was looking forward to it, as well as being nervous about it at the same time.

She slept so peacefully when I arrived that I didn't have the heart to wake her, so me and mum had a cup of tea and a nice chat.

When she eventually woke up, I was amazed at how alert she was! She was staring at the camera with fascination for most of the time.

She did really well and coped with everything we asked of her. She thought, however, to leave her mark on my sheet, as a token of appreciation for being woken up, undressed and made to do unnecessary things on a Wednesday afternoon. Oh well, never mind, that's what washing machines are for!

Here are a few images from the shoot.
