Little Caleb Dobier graced the world with his presence slightly earlier than expected, but healthy and absolutely adorable! At 5 days old, he only just hit the 5lb mark, and I got the pleasure of photographing him! He is so tiny... it is astounding that someone so little is a fully-functioning, learning, growing, adorable whole person! His parents Kim and Tim are doing an amazing job at loving him completely and utterly!
I have to say this is probably the most simple newborn shoot I have ever done. Caleb didn't cry once... not once! He slept so peacefully, breathing tiny little breaths that you could see filling his whole wee ribcage. Sometimes he would open his beautiful big eyes and just watch the world go by around him, taking in everything, and following the gaze of his parents. Then he would softly and calmly close his eyes, and fall back into the most gorgeous little slumber, that makes you just feel like everything is so perfect.

Squishiness!
Beauitiful Kim with her precious son...
And Tim holding his tiny wee boy... just after getting pooed on TWICE! You know how in the last newborn blog I said they always tend to poo as soon as the nappy comes off... well, yup... again! Tim had put a shirt on for the photos, then got pooed on... so while Kim nursed Caleb, Tim changed his shirt... then Kim handed him back and immediately Tim got pooed on again! Ah, mothers always know best... :)
A gorgeous little family.
I think he loves his Mum...
"Ohhh, do I get to go on holiday?!"
If you look closely here, you get a glimpse of behind the scenes of a newborn shoot - me and my camera reflected in his eyes, and Tim doing the 'look here Caleb!" dance...
Newborns are just the most precious thing in the world. Caleb, you have become the whole world to your parents... you are so loved and so amazing. Kim and Tim, enjoy this awesome time with your gorgeous wee boy xoxo
