oh the chuckles.......

FUN!!! Oh….My….Goodness……

Powering up during our session is essential - either with laughter, that’s always amazing!! OR a healthy snack!! :-)

SO Max arrived + well any intention to capture quiet newborn pictures went right out the window - we LAUGHED so hard and so much through this session, the calm was there but the laughter took over + isn’t that such a great feeling + what it’s all about!! Going with the flow, adjusting and being responsive to the moment. The joy + inquisitiveness of your new older sister, the happiness of parents, the wide eyed “just arrived” feeling.

Clementine

When Monday feels all snuggles and snoozes

Remember Naomi’s baby bump cuteness???

Ahh yes…..this gorgeousness!!

Wellllll……….Clementine has arrived and is a super gorgeous bebe with full dark hair and ooodles of cuteness!!

Tuesday Cuteness!!!

Clementine is two weeks young!!!

It was SUCH a pleasure to spend a few hours with Naomi, Luke + Clementine on Sunday - she is just the cutest!

Baby Raff........3 weeks young + totally melting my heart.....

Sophie & James are one of my most adorable couples from 2015 so it was super exciting to find out they were expecting and to get to hang out with them and photograph their little bundle of cuteness at 3 weeks young this past weekend!! Raff is such a fun character and soo calm too, he was more than happy to get comfy in my array of baskets + blankets!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Total thumbs up from this little cutie, have a fabulous day x

(a little sunshine inspiration picture from our session on Sunday morning - utterly adorable and so cheeky!!) 

Cedric & Charlottes daughter has arrived :-) <3

So thrilled to share a few pics from our new born session with Cedric & Charlotte, who was 10 days in the photo above and is just beautiful!!!

Cute as a button in her Koala bear hat!!!

With each new born session we schedule my visit around what works best for you in the comfort of your own home and familiar surroundings. I have a selection of props and blankets ( this amazing hat had been purchased ahead of time but mum + dad + worked brilliantly!) which I bring with me and we create a mixture of lovely natural pictures and then some 'directed' ones, it really depends on what you'd like or if you're happy to leave me to art direct :-) 

It's EXHAUSTING being a model......

As a general rule for 'new born'' photography any time from birth up to 14 days is enough time to capture the 'newness' of each new little arrival. Things happen and sometimes this isn't possible so the date is slightly over, it's totally ok, we will still create gorgeous pictures, babies change so quickly after 14 days we say that a general rule but sometimes it's not possible + that's ok, it won't be the end of the world. xx

New born ultra cuteness

A rainy Sunday in West London and a home full of love and delight at a very special new arrival...

What a delight to photograph Charlie and his mummy and daddy! We had a wonderful time trying out different outfits and backgrounds and there were lots of amazing cuddles and kisses for this precious little boy who was 10 days young on our session <3 

Friday LOVE Vibes :-)

Finishing the first week of 2017 with a love fest!

In the run up to Christmas and the holidays I had a brilliant Saturday combining two things I absolutely LOVE!! Firstly mega early on this particular Saturday I taught several yoga classes in Hampshire then jumped in my car and zoomed up to the Studio + atmospheric fog of Crystal Palace and rocked a 'Bump' session with Charlotte & Cedric.

oh baby.....

I was soo excited to work with Charlotte & Cedric and became like a child in a sweet shop as the fog got thicker the closer I got to the park.... I know, either sounds very British or completely MAD lol - BUT what light! The fog beautifully softens and defuses everything so you have soft shadows (if there any at all) and a gorgeous atmospheric photo session. 

The colours, tones + textures were intensified and we had such fun meandering around the park and nearby streets (amazing textures + backgrounds) + finished up in the studio for tea and a warm up!! (+ a lot of movement from their daughter lol)

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of their daughter, I can't wait to meet her + create wonderful new born images very soon!!

Happy Friday everyone! Have an awesome weekend xx

Cheeky Family Fun!!!

Samuel has stollen my heart <3 he is my best friends little boy, who has the best chuckle I have ever heard - it's a mix between woody wood pecker and road runner, it's super sonically infectious + we became great friends when I stayed recently and so it was my complete delight and pleasure to photograph him with mum & dad and by himself lol I think his smiles say it all!! + just to prod the memory this (below) was just last October :-) xx
