This was my fourth year photographing Harrison & Imogen – it’s been so lovely seeing them grow each year. This year we had huge amounts of fun, as I think you can see from the images! I found it so hard to pick my favourites. The benefit of doing a studio shoot in your own home, is that it’s easy to make lots of costume changes – whether it’s your favourite dress, football strip or superhero costume!

I’m fortunate to have the skills and equipment to capture as many beautiful portraits of my boys as I like. I recently purchased some new coloured backdrops so decided to get one of them out for a test run with them. This was the result. Both were shot using natural window light.

If you’re interested in a shoot with me, you can choose from an outdoor location shoot. An indoor shoot using your home as the backdrop, or an indoor studio-style shoot. For studio shoots, I have a black, white, grey, blue and pink backdrops to choose from. I have studio lights, but will also scout out your home for some perfect natural light.

Back in March I was delighted to have the opportunity to photograph newborn Imogen when she was just 8 days old! Newborn shoots are a very relaxed affair, I leave plenty of time for feeds, changes, etc, so that mum & dad stay relaxed and baby can get all sleepy.

If you are interested in a newborn shoot, then please contact me when you are pregnant, as it’s ideal for the shoot to take place in baby’s first 10 days. Although we can’t predict exactly when they’ll arrive, I can make sure to block off time for you around your due date.

As you can see here, I prefer a simple approach focusing on tiny fingers, toes and the newborn all curled up and sleepy, but I also have plenty of hats and props if that’s what you like!

It’s been a busy summer, looking after my two boys. Although having a newborn around hasn’t left me much time for photography, I at least have another model to pose for me at home.

I’m now thinking of returning to work after my ‘maternity leave’ and have a small number of slots available to book for November for anyone wanting photos in time for Christmas. If you’re interested, please contact me.

Brodie Ellis Moore, was born at home (as planned) on Tuesday 10th July 2012, weighing 9lbs 15oz. I now have another model to join big brother Bailey! We are all doing well and settling in to life as a family of four.

I plan to take maternity leave over the summer, and restart shoots in the autumn, but feel free to get in contact during that time if there’s anything I can help with.

I have been very lucky to photograph the beautiful Matilda a few times since she was a baby, and was delighted to also be photographer at her mum and dad’s wedding 18 months ago (where Matilda made a very gorgeous little bridesmaid).

As the weather has been getting nicer, we decided on an outdoor shoot this time in a local park.

Matilda was quite happy playing with flowers and the bubbles I’d brought along, while I snapped away and we got some beautiful photographs.

I think my very first post on my original (now lost) blog was of Bailey; my son, muse and inspiration. I am very lucky that he loves to have his photo taken (or maybe that was inevitable with a photographer as a mother). He has just turned three this week and it has made me realise how fast those first weeks, months and years pass by. We sat down today to look through photos together and I can’t believe how different he is from even six months ago, and certainly compared to the little bundle of joy (and noise) that came into our lives three years ago and changed us forever.

I’m so glad I have the opportunity to capture our memories, as so many of those moments are fleeting. I love to take his photo and we sometimes will take studio images, like the one above, but most of the time I’m just trying to freeze time and capture him playing or learning something new. This is something I love to do for my customers too – it’s so nice to sit with parents at a review session and see their reactions to the images – always smiles, often laughter and occasionally a few tears.

Earlier this year, I was delighted to work with The Pretty Pantry photographing their cupcakes and cake pops. It’s very different from my usual business of photographing children – not least because the subjects sit still and do whatever you ask them for hours on end if required! I think there were nearly 150 cakes in about 30 different set-ups shot over a couple of days using a combination of natural light and studio light.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially when Sarah from The Pretty Pantry gave me a few pops to sample at the end of the shoot. And yes… they are as delicious as they look!
