Luke makes her laugh.

Kate makes him a lot of yummy food.

Together, they love cuddling with Nino.

There isn’t a terrible lot happening when you have a 7 week old baby. There are feedings, cuddles, kisses, an awful lot of waiting for the baby to either to fall asleep or to wake up. And nappy changes.

Kate booked me for their family session with a 7 week old baby Nino just two weeks before he was due to have an open heart operation. Nino was born with congenital heart decease, and it was a stressful and scary time for his parents, but it was important for them to capture their life before the big operation. As I’m writing this, Nino is now safely home following his arterial switch and a couple of weeks stay at the hospital, and according to Kate is going from strength to strength. Read more about their journey (and get some yummy baking recipes in the process) on Kate’s blog here. Oh she writes so well.

Here’s a selection of my favourite images from their shoot. Enjoy!
