A Beautiful Baby makes for Beautiful Baby Portraits, but babies between the ages of 7 and 10 months are at the stage where they now decide whether they will or will not smile… And some babies choose to ignore me.  But before this little guy ignored me completely I stole some beautiful baby portraits – isn’t he gorgeous?! 🙂 And I simply **love** this intimate family portrait where no one is even looking at the camera! The love and laughter is so apparent and I had so muh fun with this couple  – it was like catching up with old friends.  Thank you for opening your home to me and welcoming me in with such warmth – I feel like I’ve known you forever (I love it when I get that feeling – I can call this family my friends rather than my clients!)  If I’m ever in Pietermaritzburg in the near future I’ll be sure to pop in for a cup of tea… 🙂
