This morning I had the pleasure of meeting Rebecca, Nic and their wonderful children Charlotte and William. The photo session was a gift from Rebecca’s brother all the way from Australia.

Photographing the family in their beautiful St Albans home was a real treat, I particularly enjoyed Charlotte’s company as she showed me round the house, took care of her baby brother and her dollies, read stories with Daddy and finished the session in her tutu and fairy wings, as girls do… William was happiest when catching his own reflection in the mirror, the joy of being a baby!

I would like to share some photos from a lovely family photo session with baby Imogen and her parents. Imogen is just 8 months, has the most beautiful eyes and eyelashes and was such a treat to photograph. The session was really calm and peaceful, which helped create the right atmosphere for some lifestyle family shots.

Here is another session from last month, two lovely children aged 10 months and 2.5 years. Their mum was mainly after some portraits of her little girl but understandably big brother A. also wanted a piece of the action!

This session was a surprise birthday present from Karen to her husband Tim. I was really pleased to get plenty of good shots of their lovely daughter H as Karen had warned me she was normally very camera shy. Baby brother J, on the other hand, loves to pose and spent his time observing me with his big blue eyes or playing “row, row, row your boat” with his sister – plenty of great photo opportunities!

This session was Christmas present from my friend Leanne to her sister Nadine and her partner Adam following the arrival of their baby boy.

Baby L was really good with the camera and we made the most of the huge window in his grandparent’s master bedroom. Here are a few photos I love, I hope you enjoy them too Auntie Leanne!

I’d like to share some photos from a session I had last week with two beautiful little girls: J aged 2.5 and her baby sister C who is just 6 months old.

The original plan was to take mainly portraits of baby C to mark her 6-month “birthday” but it quickly became obvious that J enjoyed posing for the camera just as much as her sister.

This was a great opportunity to capture some nice sibling interaction and I am thrilled with how the photos have come out, here are some of my favourites:

It’s the second time I have the pleasure of photographing lovely E, the first time she was just a few months old, she’s now a very happy one year old, still gorgeous and full of smiles.

Last week I went back to see Neil and Cheryl and their gorgeous little girl P who is now one year old. I first met her for a baby photo session back in February and she was already a great model, so much so that she has since been modeling for Mothercare.

During the session she had to make an important phone call to her grandma, what a cutie!

You may remember the pregnancy session I had with lovely Kim back in June. Here is part two, this time with baby Y, how cute is she! I loved her funky home-made skull and crossbones blanket…

And here is an extra one of Kim and Richard I took back in June

Some of you may remember the pregnancy and newborn photos I took of Fouzan and Vijaya’s family. I was delighted to go and see their adorable baby A. who is now 10 months old and who (according to his dad) just cannot get any cuter – it’s hard to imagine but I bet he will…

I was very privileged to capture some of A’s very first smiles back in January, and once again he gave me his best smiles, what a treat!

Here are my favourites from the session:
