I'd been really looking forward to this newborn session, and it was an extra lovely surprise when Olivia arrived a little early. This meant she was my first newborn of 2017 - the perfect way to kick off January! It was a scenic drive over to Portlethen on a cold and frosty morning, but we thankfully we were lovely and toasty inside, ready to capture some images of this beautiful growing family. Olivia's big brother kept a watchful eye on the proceedings, making sure I was on my best behaviour!

A small selection of images are below. A typical lifestyle newborn session will create between 50 to 100 images, because there are just too many perfect little moments and details that I don't want to leave out! Here's what Olivia's mum, Jenna, thought about their newborn session

"Our newborn photoshoot with Vivienne was a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. She helped us get into poses that looked and felt very natural and got some absolutely stunning shots. She even managed to work around my very inquisitive toddler! A few of my favourite photos are ones where we were taking a 'break'. She worked around what Olivia wanted at that time, so it was also very much baby-led. We loved all the photos and moments she captured and it was very difficult to pick which ones we wanted!"
