Baby Steps Babies! | Sydney Baby Photography

We try not to bombard this blog with endless shots of our two (adorable!!!!!) little girls, Bailey and Allegra. But seeing as it's Christmas, and seeing as they do make the cutest little Christmas angels ever (!), without further ado... Amanda's 2 year old daughter, Bailey, and Kate's 2 year old daughter, Allegra in all their Christmas glory!

Isla | Sydney Baby Photography

Just look at this happy, smiley bundle of cuteness. Meet baby Isla, 3 1/2 months old and absolutely adorable. And yes, she was pretty much born with that amazing head of hair (although when you see her Mummy's hair it's not hard to see where it comes from!)

Isla was such a perfect model for us today. A little older than most of our newborn shoots, we weren't expecting to be able to get too many sleepy shots, but she smiled and smiled her way all through her session, and then like magic fell asleep in about a minute(!) so we could finish with some "sleepies"... perfect!

Alyssa and Ryan | Syndey Family Photography

We know, we know, you hear us say it all the time - so cute, so gorgeous, but seriously these two really were so gorgeous!

Firstly, Ryan... ok, let's talk eye lashes again... look at them, unbelievable (what's with the boys and their beautiful eye lashes lately, lucky things!) And big sister, Alyssa... ok we could seriously keep her! Alyssa is so so sweet, just the most beautiful little girl!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous family - thanks for coming in guys!

Claudia and Owen | Sydney Baby Photography

Another extra special shoot today, with Kate's friend, Lucy, bringing in her two little bubs for some shots before Christmas. Kate and Lucy go way back to school days (they bonded over a love of The Babysitters Club!!! Ahhh memories!)

First up was little Claudia, check out that hair... sooo cute and crazy! Claudia was the perfect little model, such an easy going, happy little thing... we plomped her down and away we went! Next up was big brother, Owen, and we ask you... is it fair for a little boy to have cheekbones that divine???? Women everywhere would kill for that! Combine the cheekbones with that smile... and we're thinking the ladies better watch out when Owen grows up!!!

Harrison & Austin | Christmas mini shoot

It's always extra special when we do a personal shoot, and so doing this shoot was extra extra special, as these guys' Mama and Daddy are two of Kate's favourite people in the whole world! They also happen to love Christmas as much as Kate, so how could today not be a blast?!

Meet our little friends Harrison and Austin... funny, lively, balls of fun and completely adorable! The boys are so well mannered that we were probably done in all of 15 minutes... but we threw in a few extra shots for good measure!

Love you Kell and Sean... hope you love your shots!

PS. Stay tuned to the blog for the next member of the family, due in February! To say we're excited is a bit of an understatement!

Stephanie | Sydney Newborn Photography

Ok, let's talk eyelashes for a moment! We met little Stephanie today, and she has eyelashes to die for!

At 3 weeks, Stephanie is just that little bit older than the newborns we usually shoot, so we were thinking her shoot could be a bit of a challenge, but boy were we wrong! After a quick rock from Mummy, she was out like a light, and the perfect litte model.. leaving us plenty of time for us to ooh and aaah over her amazing eye lashes!

Paul | Sydney Newborn Photography

We spent the morning with lovely little Paul today, and his equally lovely Mama, Sarah. Sarah is completely captivated by her precious new little man, and it was just a joy to watch her with him. We can't believe she has only been doing this for a week, she's an absolute natural.

Family Fun | Sydney Family Photography

What an absolute pleasure today's shoot was! When Mary called to book in a session for her 6 beautiful grandchildren, we thought, "wow we're going to have our work cut out for us here!", but boy we were wrong! What a well mannered, patient and obliging group of kiddies. Meet Rose, Jessie, Charlie, Ruby, Angus and baby Declan - absolutely gorgeous all of them, and all so much fun!

We had Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Bros pumping (I think Rose and Jessie knew every single word!), Ruby had us in stitches with her very theatrical cries of "get out of my shot"!!!!!, and Angus was such a character in his favourite Wallabies shirt. Charlie was a little shy at first, but even he gave us some absolutely adorable smiles... and that hair? Unbelievable!!! Last but not least, Declan. Well that gorgeous happy face says it all... divine!

Six kids means an extra long sneak peek, but we have so many favourites from the shoot we had trouble even narrowing it down to these. Enjoy!

PS. Special shout out to Alison for organising everyone's "to die for" wardrobe and accessories. Kate is in awe!

Amity Child | Sydney Baby Photography

Big shout out today to one of our favourite stores, Amity Child! Amity Child is in Dural, Sydney, and is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Every single thing in this baby/kids store is divine, right down to the packaging! In fact the love affair began when Kate was given a baby gift from AC after her daughter was born, and was so taken with the beautiful bag that she had to go and check out the store!

Trust us, if you are in the market for a baby or kids gift - clothing, shoes, toys, bag, stationery, everything(!), then Amity Child is the place to go... and Dural is a lovely place for a scenic drive!

Baby Steps is teaming up with Amity Child for a fabbo in store competition - the chance to win one of our gorgeous Christmas shoots and packages... so hurry in and don't miss out!

Ashley | Sydney Newborn Photography

Attention newborns... you all need to be as well behaved as gorgeous little Ashley! We're not kidding babes, a new standard has been set! Mum, Linda, bought 7 day old Ashley in this morning with a nice full belly, and that was all it took... she was out like a light for our entire shoot! So petite and tiny and delicate, and SLEEPY! This shoot was an absolute breeze, and an absolute pleasure! Ashley, you are just heavenly!

PS. Don't you just love our little Christmas angel! We couldn't resist!

Joshua | Sydney Newborn Photography

Today's shoot was just beautiful. Ok OBVIOUSLY little Joshua is beautiful, but the best part of the shoot was not staring down at this tiny sleeping beauty, his perfect nose, his little fingers... it was watching the way his Mummy looked at him. I kept finding myself looking at Kristy as she looked at her sleeping 'bubba' (as big brother Lachlan calls him!). It was just pure adoration, and it was absolutely beautiful to see. Congratulations Glenn and Kristy.

Rielle | Sydney Newborn Photography

Meet beautiful little Rielle, all of 7 days old, and just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Rielle is such a sweet little thing, the perfect newborn model... she even gave us a little smile!

Hide & Seek Market | Sydeny Baby Photography

We had another great day at Hide and Seek market on Sunday. Luckily it is an indoor market as Mother Nature wasn't in our favour (!) but that didn't stop the shoppers coming out to find all sorts of goodies (not to mention us finding all sorts of goodies ourselves!). We caught up with some of the regular stall holders (thanks for my order Cute as a Button!!!), plus met some great new stall holders: Monique Rose Handcrafted Jewellery; Lovegood Designs; Karimu; Imaginart; Cloudberri Kids; Boxed Affair and Selkie Smith Design.

Stay tuned to the blogs later today for the announcement of our lucky competition winner!
