Family portraits in Marshalswick

    I was so spoilt this morning as I got to photograph two truly beautiful children and their lovely mum Aibilin. Mum and kids all have the same hair colour, so photogenic! Aibilin was after  some photos of the three of them to put up in their new house but I could resist taking a few extra ones of the children on their own and 7 year old N. loved posing for me with her amazing wavy hair and beautiful smile.

    I had a hard time narrowing down my favourites so here is a whole bunch for you:

    Family photos in Berkhamsted

    I have had the privilege of photographing Wendy and Tim’s growing family for the past three years, from Wendy’s first pregnancy to the arrival of their second child. It is always a great pleasure to return and see how much the children have grown from one photo shoot to the next!

    Here is a small selection from our latest session a couple of weeks ago:

    Family portraits in Finchley

    Yuval contacted me last year to book a Bump to Baby package as a surprise present for his wife Maya. They already had two lovely boys and whole family was such a pleasure to photograph, I was really looking forward to their baby girl’s arrival. An outbreak of chicken pox got in the way for a while but last week I was finally able to meet them all again with the wonderful addition of baby A. The boys seemed to be have grown a lot in this short period, N had lost his first milk tooth and E’s curls had been replaced by a smart boy’s haircut. I feel very privileged to have met them and to have been able to capture the family as 4 became 5!

    Here are a few photos from the second session, I had real trouble picking my favourites as they were so many!

    Pregnancy photos in St Albans

    The bump to baby session are often booked by first time parents but it’s always really nice when there are older siblings involved too! Here are some photos from last week’s fun session with Ruth from Mishmash Music and her family as they are expecting their second child. What a treat to photograph Bump and his big brother’s big bright eyes! The skylight in the colourful family room provided some lovely light for a really natural look.

    Baby photos in Welwyn

    Neil got a gift voucher for two photo sessions as a Christmas present to his lovely wife Cheryl. We did the first session this morning, P. was all smiles and loved posing for the camera, until she got fed up, cried for about two seconds and fell fast asleep in her mummy’s arms, what a doll! I can’t wait to photograph her again around her first birthday…

    Sisters portraits in St Albans

    I met Karen last year at a shopping evening where she bought a voucher for a session in January. I was looking forward to meet her daughters and I was not disappointed! They were really sweet, very excited about the photo shoot, showed me around the house and were happy to pose together for some sisterly shots. Very often the challenge with children over five is to get a natural smile and not their rehearsed “photo smile” but we got there and their beauty really shone through!

    Baby portraits in Harpenden

    Last month I had the pleasure of photographing very cute baby J. He’s the third baby I photograph from the same NCT group and I always really appreciate the recommendations. We took plenty of lovely shots with mum and dad followed by some with grandparents. J and his grandad had a great connection!

    Here are my favourites from the session:

    Baby and toddler portraits in Wheathamstead

    I had the pleasure of photographing Claire and Tony’s boys this month. The plan had been to take a few photos outside but it was very cold and full of snow so we opted to stay inside, and got the boys in their nappies! They were quite excited to be allowed to play on their parents beds and we had a lovely time seeing K. giggle as he was poking his belly button. I love those simple moments, pure joy!

    Bump-to-Baby sessions in Kilburn

    I just love doing the bump to baby sessions, especially with first time parents as they go through such a life changing experience. Fouzan and Vijaya are a really lovely couple and having met them for the pregnancy shots in October I was really looking forward to finally meet baby A in January! He really made my heart melt with his big brown eyes and I was so pleased to be able to capture some of his very first smiles. Here are a few photos I love from both shoots.
