Last month I had the pleasure to meet Chelsea and her two beautiful children in their stunning Kings Langley home. I had a lovely time playing with the children, cheeky A aged 2 and her handsome brother T aged 4. They enjoyed showing me their toys, dressing up and we even had a game of hide and seek around mummy and daddy’s giant bed.

Here are my favourite from the session:

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.

I love coming back to families and capturing the children’s features and personality as grow from one photo shoot to the next. I photographed this lovely family last year when little brother W was only a couple of weeks old and big sister E was just 2. She was already a pro with the camera then and this year she didn’t disappoint! She was full of cheeky smiles and even her brother turned on the charm for me, what a treat!

Here are a few photos from a lovely session last week with super cute B who’s just 14 months old. I arrived as she was finishing her nap so she was a bit confused when she first saw me but quickly warmed up and in no time gave me some wonderful smiles.

Her mummy arranged the session to get some photographs as a present to her husband, and I hope he will be as pleased with them as I am!

Mandie received a gift voucher for a photo session last Christmas and I was really looking forward to this shoot – it is a little bit different from what I usually do as Mandie’s son and daughter are young adults. The session was a breeze: no tricks or bribes required to get my models to pose for me this time ;)

Mandie specifically asked for black and white shots and I think it works really well on these portraits. Here are some of my favourite shots from the session.

With their 1 year old twins and 3 year old boy Liz and Richard really have their hands full! They are such a lovely family and I had the pleasure of photographing them a couple of weeks ago in their St Albans home and we made the most of their amazing garden.

I didn’t have to go very far for this morning’s session as Rachel lives just around the corner from me here in St Albans. I had the the pleasure of photographing her lovely 10 months old daughter S – she was feeling quite shy but I love the photos below, giving her mummy cuddles and showing off her beautiful eyes.

When Helen opened her front door we both knew we had met before, and it’s not really surprising as there is rarely more than 1 or 2 degrees of separation between St Albans mums and our boys are the same age. After a minute we both remembered where we met: fighting over the same scooter while volunteering at last year’s NCT sale, oops!

We had a really lovely session first at home and then we walked over to the nearby nunnery (with the family cat in tow!) 2.5 year old G was in a playful mood and led us through a little adventure in the woods. The portrait session is a present for Father’s Day next week so if you know G’s dad don’t spoil the surprise!

Here are a few photos from last week’s session with cute baby L and his lovely mummy Sonia. He was such a big boy at just 5 weeks old holding his head up, I just loved his dark hair, dark eyes and pouting lips!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Effie and Stuart, a lovely couple from Broxbourne. Last year they received a photography package voucher as a Christmas present from their family to capture moments with their gorgeous baby daughter T.

Despite the drizzle we managed to shoot some photos outdoors as well as indoors. Here are my favourites, including baby T looking like a ballerina posing mid-air before being (safely!) caught by her daddy.
