We've finally hatched out our own baby girl Chloe :)

I say finally, but compared to caitlyn, this birth was so much faster! Into the midwives at 14:45, birth at 16:15, out of hospital at 23:15.... boom! :)

Thanks Scott :)

The last two pictures were taken using a reflector rather than studio lights or flash. It's not something i've properly experimented with, but you can pick up a large 42" reflector for about £10. If you bring the subject near a window, but away from the harsh light of direct sunlight, you can get some lovely available light pictures. I might see how effective it is with snakes at some point actually :)
