This morning I had the pleasure of catching up with little L and her mummy, daddy and cat called Steve. There were lots of outfit changes, self soothing, lunch, snacks, milk and a sleep. I hope you enjoy these while I’m going through the rest!

{bank holiday fun ~ personal}
May 8th, 2012This rainy Bank Holiday Sunday we met up with friends for a day of culture, giggles and dough balls. The day stated at 10 am with a trip to the Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum. I would thoroughly recommend this although take children at your own peril… the holographic Dita was a big hit with the two little ones and ‘I can see her bum bum’ echoed around the gallery. Thankfully there were only a handful of us in there. The photography/choreography in the (I’m not going to type the words as it’ll encourage unsavouries) saucy section is amazing.
After this we hopped, skipped and bounced along the Southbank before stopping off for lunch. The biggies then went to see The Man with the Disturbingly Smelly Foot at the Unicorn and the littlies… they roared, and giggled, cuddled and even kissed!!

{at it was all yellow ~ springtime in the rapeseed}
April 27th, 2012Much like the daffs I have a seasonal ‘let’s shove Violet in the beautiful and somehow very English rapeseed fields’. Portraits work so well against these moody skies and seem fairly resilient to the wind! At the moment they are a good height too – leave it until later next month and you’ll loose your child beneath the yellow canopy.
Of course these fields are crop fields and being in them (rather than on the many public footpaths that run along side them) is naughty as they are private property but we’re always careful not to damage the crops or venture too far in.
One of many from yesterdays quick post-ballet shoot while the sun was shining, taken with a lensbaby and I’ve added some textures for a change.
{family G ~ London family photography}
April 25th, 2012This was such a fun shoot on London’s gorgeous Southbank, my favourite part of London. The family wanted St Paul’s in some of the shots and the Tate Modern lends itself to posing so naturally we shot there too. If you choose to shoot in this part of town – be early because by the time we left the place was heaving!

April 15th, 2012Love love love these two, soon to be three. I had the great pleasure of photographing their wedding last year and woah this year we’re having a baby! I love it when I receive those emails – a pregnancy or baby born is always such special news.
We started at home with same very beautiful bare shots, but for obvious reasons I won’t share these on here. However, S you have an AMAZING body and look bloody beautiful pregnant! Then we got dressed (I wasn’t actually undressed) and headed out to Knowle Park to brave the windy Sunday morning for some more relaxed couple shots. I have since spent the afternoon trying to guess the girl’s name, I won’t divulge the massive yet vague clue that they gave me but I’m on the case. And if it’s a boy, I’ve no idea except that it won’t begin with S. Oh, and how hot is this Mama?
Good luck S&S… remember to breathe and to steal me a bottle of G&A, thanks

{my boy ~ personal post}
April 4th, 2012I’ll tell you a little secret.. when I was pregnant with baby number 2 I desperately wanted another girl. I’m not totally sure why, perhaps it was better the devil you know that the devil you don’t because girls are not easy beasts to raise. We found out the sex, I wanted to know. When I found out it was blue I had very mixed reactions… firstly I had no idea how I’d change his nappy and then I wondered how I’d cope with all the smells and how I’d bear losing him to the evil Daughter-in-Law. But now, a few years on, while I’m still slightly shocked when he waves his bits about I can’t imagine how or why I wanted two pink ones. He rocks, yes, I’m sure it’s his personality as much as his gender but his cuddly affectionate nature totally melts my heart. And, yesterday was the first time that he actually posed for me, albeit only for a few minutes. I love you CZW!

{baby M ~ Kent newborn photography}
April 3rd, 2012I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a lot of newborns (must add them all up!) and each one is, of course, very different. Looking back at my own babies I can see that their personalities where set from day 1. I won’t tell tales on here but those who knew both from birth would definitely agree!
Sometimes I wish, and perhaps I will, follow a few of my newborns like a BBC documentary to see how they end up, perhaps make some time capsule predictions based on their first few shoots. My prediction for Baby M is that she’s going to have both mummy, daddy and everyone else who loves her wrapped around her little pinky with those beautiful big eyes and pouty lips. Not much of a prediction I know, but I bet I’m right Baby M was so alert for 10 days old that I’m also guessing that she’ll talk early and smile way before the text book 6 week mark. As for her first word… hmm, moo!
Congratulations F&D on your beautiful baby girl x
{boing boing ~ Essex Easter weekend sessions}
March 30th, 2012School is out and my little rabbit is home complete with pink nose, pointy ears and a nice orange carrot which is in her hands.
I’m in Essex for some of the Easter weekend, specifically north Essex. If you fancy a mini shoot then get in touch!

{Baby H ~ Orpington Newborn Photography}
March 29th, 2012Funny morning – traveling to my shoot involved me stacking the buggy with all my bits and crossing the road. That is it. I looked like a mad homeless woman but I don’t care! This is baby H – one of the most handsome boys I’ve had the pleasure of handling, and a Viking at that! Loving H’s pesky hand – always up around his face, not always in his mouth or grabbing at his eye but always there.
Congratulations K&M and thank you for letting me crash your babymoon. x
