Levi’s Newborn Session

From a maternity session to a newborn session!

I have said it before but I love photographing maternity sessions and then waiting to hear the awesome news that a new little person has entered the world!

I have had a mixture of both girls and boys in the studio lately, its been great as I have been able to use all different colours and props!

When I got the message that these guys had welcomed little Levi in to the world, I was excited for their session!

We stayed away from the baby blues and went with a grey theme for Levis session! I forgot how much I love the dark moody colours ! My little grey basket is also a favourite of mine!

Levi was so alert and awake for the start of his session, I love when babies are awake and happy and let us get some beautiful images of them looking straight at the camera!

Such a great big sister already! I love this photo of Katie and Levi! Every mum should have a photo like this! Thanks for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family

Sibling photos

Sam, Sophie and Sienna. three beautiful children who were in the studio last week for some sibling photos!

Sibling photos would have to be one of my favourite types of photos.

These guys were so great and both of Sam and Sophie wanted cuddles with their new baby sister!

I’m slightly in love with Sophie’s flower crown too! Sophie’s rainbow nails are what make this image even more perfect I think!

Big brother Sam will all watch over his younger sisters I think!

love me some Black and white!

Thanks so much for choosing me to take your photos Bec! It was great having the kids in the studio

I love getting to see mums-to-be while they are pregnant and then again once their newborn has arrived! These guys were no exception!

I knew they were waiting on a little girl, but wow, Lilly is just adorable. And big brother William was just great with her! We had a great time in the studio earlier this week.

Snug as a bug!

Lilly seriously had cheeks that you just want to eat! I love this photo, its so simple and captures her beautifully!

Lilly and big brother William rocking the sibling image!

Thanks for getting Lilly’s newborn photos done with me guys!

Cant wait for you to see them all!

brothers and friends

Earlier this week I had Molly and her beautiful family in the studio for their newborn session.

I was excited to have them back in front of the camera as I loved every minute of their maternity session! (see photo below!)

Little Harlo was so alert and super keen to find out what we were up to during his session- which means I was able to get some awesome awake images of him!

It didn’t take long though and he was off to sleep and we got to capture some sleeping images.

I have had this little fox set up for a while now and haven’t used it any where as much as I should have! I am so glad we used it as I just love these photos!Thanks so much for choosing me to photograph this special time in your life guys ! I can wait to show you all your photos!!

Little Zoe’s Birth

Renee Diaz Photography

Maternity ~ Birth ~ Newborn ~ Beyond

Those who have followed my page for a while will know that photographing a birth was something I have always wanted to do. Unfortunately living in Victoria with out family meant that the practicalities of dropping everything when a expectant mum was in labour was not possible. I am very lucky this year to be back in the Adelaide Hills and have wonderful friends and family who wont mind (wont mind and have no choice – same thing!) 3 am calls to baby sit my two kids!

There are so many reasons why I wanted to and still want to photograph births. Its something completely different to photographing a maternity or newborn session. I have no control of what sort of lighting there would be- if any- (this is why I own and know how to use my camera which is made for low light situations as I chose not to use a flash and disturb a labouring mum) I don’t get to pose anyone, and its not in my warm studio at 9.30 on a Monday ! So different and so awesome.

Late August I meet up with Amanda. We had a chat about what sort of birth she was hoping for, how her first birth went, how she was not to yell at me during labour and make me cry, how I might need a cup of tea made for me by her (labour or not!) if bubs was coming in the early hours!! Jokes aside it was a quick little meeting so when everything was happening I wasn’t meeting her for the first time at the hospital!

During the next couple of weeks I got weekly updates of how everything was going- it was exciting!!

Finally on the Friday 11th Sept I got the message saying Amanda’s waters had broke and it was all about to start! After a lot of messages -and hours!- back and forth I headed in to the hospital Saturday night at about 9pm.

The next couple of hours were AMAZING! I feel so privileged to be able to do what I do. To be a fly on the wall. To be a part of peoples intimate moments , creating lasting memories for them. I got to have a few cuddles with little Zoe while she was only minutes old, and I’m not bragging -but I did guess her exact weight- it could be a hidden skill I have 🙂

I headed home at about 2 am. Not sure I slept as I was wide awake in awe. Amanda was amazing. Michael kept us all amused with his dad jokes. Sadly I laughed at few :p

The next morning I headed back in for a mini session- We wanted to get a few of big sister Sophia meeting her new baby sister. Such a perfect little family!

Only a handful of the photos I took are in the little video below.

Thanks so much for choosing me to be your birth photographer Amanda , its something I will never forget !
