Georgia
I was so happy when Georgia’s mum Em Jaye asked me to use bold colours during Georgia’s Adelaide newborn photography session. I hardly get asked to use bold colours but I just love them! I’m pretty sure Georgia was happy with them because she gave me a few cute smiles during the session. Em Jaye and her partner are both musicians so they brought a guitar into the studio for me to use and also a Piti (wooden baby carrier from the APY lands) because Georgia has Aboriginal heritage. After the session I asked Em Jaye, some questions about Georgia’s birth and her newborn photo session…
How did you find out you were pregnant? Do you have a story to tell?
I had planned to go out for cocktails with friends to celebrate the feast festival and pride march. I wasn’t feeling well the night before. I ended up drinking mock-tails at the festival so my friends wouldn’t get suspicious.
How did you announce your pregnancy?
We sent all of our friends and family a photo of three Christmas stockings hanging on our mantle.
Did you have any weird cravings or experiences during your pregnancy?
I couldn’t get enough milkshakes
How did you find out the baby’s gender, before the birth or was it a surprise?
Our girl was camera shy. We had 6 ultrasound scans but didn’t know until the doctors placed her in our arms. She was a fantastic surprise.
How did you pick out your baby’s name? Is there a special meaning behind the name?
The song Georgia on my mind is one of our favourites. It is also a nod to her twin uncles with the middle names George and Louis.
What hospital/birthing centre did you use? What was was your experience like?
The Lyell McEwin hospital.
What is the one thing you will never forget about the birth of your baby?
Her grumpy little frown when she finally entered the world and the proud look on my husbands face when he first held his daughter.
Do you have any keepsakes or heirlooms for your bub?
We will be having a whiskey made and barrelled this year to open on her 18th birthday.
What was the most memorable part of your newborn session?
How peacefully Georgia slept and how comfortable we all felt in Megan’s studio.
What are some of your favourite photos from the session?
Our first family portraits.
Why did you decide to have newborn photos taken?
We wanted to freeze this moment in time. Our first baby, our first days as parents, her first days on this earth.
Why did you choose Megan Macdonald Photography to capture your memories?
Megan’s work speaks for itself.
She is so professional and easily my favourite newborn photographer in Adelaide. We are very lucky she chose to work with us and make our baby look so beautiful.
Did you enjoy your experience and would you recommend Megan Macdonald Photography in the future?
It was a very positive experience. I recommend Megan to everyone and will continue to do so. We hope to visit Megan’s studio every time our family grows
