It became abundantly clear to me a few weeks ago, that there truly is no better way to spend a Sunday, than with old friends and their newborn infant. Listening to “Radiohead & Coldplay For Babies” in the background, drinking tea … and wondering when on earth we became grown up’s and not teenagers? Darling Anouk Sage was born to Neal and Nicole around three weeks before they had me over to take her first professional pictures. I cannot even put into words what love and tranquility this little girl has been born into, and how many battles she and her parent’s have already overcome through their faith in her life and purpose. She honestly won the parent jackpot … the absolute calm and adoration Neal and Nicole (as well as numerous her aunties, uncles and grandparents) radiate in her presence was humbling to bear witness to. I’m smitten with these pictures and in love with them as a family … I hope that everyone (and most importantly you guys, Neal and Nicky) who browse these images will be touched a little by the magic and grace captured here in their lives. All my love, Claire xxx
P.S. I need to say a very special Chantelee (Anouk’s aunty) who spent the whole day with us, changing, feeding, soothing her … and just generally being an awesome mother assistant and photography assistant! xxx
So beautiful* Well done guys <3
Beautiful work Claire!!!!
Such lovely pictures of a beautiful family – “fairy-tale” comes to mind. And Anouk looks so much like her mommy!
Too lovely!
