The Wonderfran and Bebe Leo.

If you’re a workshop participant, you’ve no doubt met Fran.  Well her birth name is Fran, I know her as the WonderFran.   We met via email some time back and then I was lucky enough to do a shoot for Fran and Poppy..just us three girls hanging out one gorgeous Gold Coast afternoon..you might recall I shared some pics back then.

Since that time, Fran has become not just  a dear friend but my right hand woman.  She keeps me sane by organizing workshop emails, 2nd shooting for me and frequently reminding me of what is not possible in any given 24 hour period.  All this while running her own photography business, Lumin-essence,  and making more beautiful children.  See?  WonderFran totally fits.

Recently I had the joy of photographing her fresh bundle of joy, Leo.  He not only has the cutest name on Earth,  he’s astoundingly gorgeous too.  I couldn’t not share him with you too.

    These are just delicious Sheye! And Fran, I wish I had met you, but I was in the first workshops, so sadly missed you – I had a look at your website and your work is so very beautiful and inspiring:) Congratulations on your gorgeous bundle of joy – and thank you Sheye for sharing these lovely images xxx (….trying to figure which Eye Candy actions were used….)

  6. Muffin says:

    that second portrait of the baby is one of the most beautiful baby portraits I have ever seen. :) wow. he looks extrememly trusting, safe and comfortable.

  7. sheye says:

    Thanks girls :)
    Vanessa, the first were pre Eye Candy and the 2nd were probably Hush only for the color and Vintage Wash Duotone with Hush (low opacity) on the b&w. They were shot on the 85mm 1.8 though which has beautiful skin tones SOOC so it helps :)

    Lovely to “meet” little Leo, as I know that Molly and I fell in love with both Fran and the gorgeous Poppy!
    Isn’t the internet a great place to meet special people and enrich our lives?!?!!!

  9. Emma says:

    my Leo’s eyes….
    you could just get lost in them.
    so so so deep.

    and miss poppy too… well shes just adorable… must say she looks a bit like miss Ivy in the first picture (where shes upside down)

  10. Cheri says:

    What adorable children, and beautiful photos to capture so brief and precious a time in their lives!

  11. Denise says:

    oh my, he is beautiful. Perfect features. You’re pretty wonderful yourself Ms. Sheye. Love, Denise.

  12. Wow! What a sweet, sweet baby boy. He’s absolutely beautiful. Congrats Fran! Gorgeous pics as always Sheye. Thanks for sharing they put a big smile on my face this morning.

    Much love from NJ,
    Sue

  13. Kati says:

    Love the skin tones/eye color on the baby. He looks very angelic.

  14. Melinda says:

    There is nothing so nice as a freshly hatched baby. Especially if you didn’t have to do the hatching. They are all drowsy sweetness and soft, fragrant skin. Mmmm. Almost, ALMOST, makes me want another.

  15. What beautiful pictures… And little Leo… He is so precious. Your pictures of him are making me realize how far from a little baby my youngest now is, and how much I would love to hold a teeny baby again.

    And the friendship you speak of sounds like it’s such a gift from above. Thanks for sharing.

  16. Kylie says:

    Ohh, it is so nice to hear what name WonderFran picked for her baby boy. I know her forum post asking for suggestions in the last Explore Workshop group created lots of comments, advice, and stories about names. It was probably the most popular post. What is it about us girls that we love to think about baby names alot? I still do and I have definetly shut up shop (so to speak!). Lovely photos Sheye. His eyes in the shots are gorgeous and his name perfect to go with Poppy. Love Kyles :D

    Hey Sheye, thought I would pop by and say “hi”.. and look who I find.. the lovely Miss Fran..
    Gorgeous work… gorgeous bubs!!

  26. Jessie says:

    I have a question. I am interested in photograpthy especially taking pictures of precious children. I take pictures of my niece’s all the time. I want my pictures to be as beautiful as your one’s. Do you use a special program or a special camera to make those pictures sooo beautiful. I have always dreamed of doing photoshoots just like you do. Can I send you a few pictures of my niece, so you can see how I take pictures:)

  27. he might just be one of the most adorable baby boys i have ever seen. these are every bit of perfect. fab work.

  28. bloom {ali} says:

    GORGEOUS, Sheye.. he really is one of the most adorable babies ever! (Besides mine of course) ;)

  29. danielle says:

    BEAUTIFUL shots! Still waiting for your class!

  30. Fran says:

    Well these are just perfection of course :) I have looked a few times and haven’t known what to type – you know how I feel about all of these images. But just so everyone knows – besides the real things (and all the other living things I love so dearly, including my husband) there is nothing more I treasure than these images. Nothing. at. all. Poppy’s dress in the first pic is Big by Fiona Scanlan – I loved it so much I have bought it in three sizes for her :D. Her red spotty dress is Oobi with a Pumpkin Patch jacket over the top and the gorgeous wellies I got on ebay but I think they were Cotton On Kids? Leo’s gorgeous knit overalls are Fred Bare.

  31. Chelsey says:

    Gah! Some of my favorite people right here!!! :) I adore Fran. You can tell her I said so. :) ;) heehee So jealous of all the time you get to spend with her. AND photographing baby Leo! (sob) Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for making me feel as though I am there to say hi.

  32. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I love them. So adorable. Perfect as can be!

  33. Jen Wright says:

    These are all awesome. I love the location in the first shot! And little Leo might have on the cutest little outfit that I have ever seen on a baby!!! Great job Sheye.

  34. Elise says:

    I saw that you are the guest judge for I Heart Faces this week and decided to check your blog out. Your photography is amazing and your honesty and humor is so refreshing.
