Baby Cora – Newborn & Family Portraits, Horsham, West Sussex

This newborn photo shoot took place at Lisa + Derry’s home in Horsham, where Baby Cora was born. Cora’s arrival was the result of a calming home birth followed by the eager arrival of the energetic Evelyn, Cora’s older (toddler) sister.

Evelyn, like most older siblings took sporadic interest in her new baby sister and when she was giving her a cuddle, she was incredibly gentle. Evelyn, very sweetly, likes to rub Cora’s ears because they are so soft. I realise now that Evelyn does most things at warp speed and as such had to adjust my camera settings to allow for this. (Somehow) I managed to catch the moment – all 0.4 seconds – of Evelyn touching Cora’s ear, whilst looking directly into the camera with her big beautiful eyes.

Cora is a very alert baby and she watched me whilst I was taking her photo. I can tell she is going to be very clever.

Lisa + Derry were the archetype of parents with a newborn – very tired, but blissfully happy.

I hope you enjoy these candid shots – it was lovely to see you all xx
