This was such a lovely newborn photoshoot in Wimbledon. A gorgeous baby boy who was just the perfect little model! So sleepy and peaceful throughout our photo session.

These are just some of my favourites from their final selection. I had lots of fun putting these together and designing their beautiful frames and albums. All of our albums are handmade to order and designed by me. I have worked with one of the best masterbook binders in London for over 10 years and the books are exquisite. Finished in soft leather in a range of colours with the name and date of birth embossed on the front. As well as making beautiful keep sake albums the smaller duplicate versions make wonderful gifts for family and friends. For further details please contact me for the full brochure & price list.

The frames are also handmade in London with a range of finishes to suit every interior. After your photography session with me I will arrange a date to come to your home to show you samples and finishes of products. From start to finish ensuring your portrait session is easy and convenient with beautiful results.

I really like the classic look of these portraits. He is just such a beautiful newborn, I can’t stop looking at them! These sessions always take me back to the first few weeks at home with my two. It such an incredibly special time and you want to hold onto those memories forever. It is a privilege to be asked to capture these beautiful moments for my Clients.

You can see a few extra from this session and more on my instagram page. Please have a look if you are on instagram and follow me for more session previews.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely weekend!

It was lovely to return for the 6 month baby session for this gorgeous little boy and his family. A follow on from my pregnancy & newborn photography session earlier last year. It is always a treat to return and document children as they grow. My first year portrait experience packages are perfect for this.

Following our pregnancy & newborn portrait session the family decided that they would like to add a 6 month and first year baby session with me. This is a great way to create a family gallery of beautiful classic portraits that celebrate the changes during the first year. From pregnancy to newborn to 6 month baby and finally a busy one year old! As this little one had two old siblings I have included plenty of family portraits and individual shots of the children with each photoshoot.

This is an increasingly popular portrait package and make a thoughtful gift for baby showers. Details and gift packages can be found here in my gift section: Gift Vouchers

I’ve chosen these two pictures for today’s post. I loved how his big sister gave him the biggest hug! She was so delighted to have her baby brother on her lap.  You can tell she is loving feeling like an important big sister.

I aways love to do mother & baby portraits with each session. This is one of my favourites, I just love the ‘chunky’ baby stage! He looks adorable in this stripy baby grow.

Travelling to my Client’s homes for their photoshoot is a big part of making the experience relaxed and personal. I am often in Chelsea, Kensington, Knightsbridge and other areas of West London. I love to visit this beautiful, historic part of our city. The tree lined streets of Chelsea and the wonderful Green Park! If I have time and the weather permits I always make a detour on my way home. For a coffee in the wonderful Park cafe.

I love this series of shots taken at a pregnancy photoshoot in South London. Perfect mother & son moments before the new arrival! Maternity photoshoots are a wonderful way to connect your toddler with their new baby sister or brother. It is also a beautiful bonding time for you both.

It is an exciting time for the whole family. I remember my pregnancy session with my daughter Bessie so well! She loved hugging my belly and posing for the pictures. However she certainly didn’t like the idea of me being photographed without her so we kept her in all the shots in the end. It was about making her feel important and not worried about the new arrival.

These pictures are just so sweet, it was wonderful to capture of this special time and share in the excitement. For me it was also a treat to return to see them all again as I had the pleasure of photographing her first pregnancy and the newborn photos of this little man!

We had lots of fun during the session. He was excited to show me his toys and I made sure there was plenty of time to play in-between pictures.

If you are thinking of having pregnancy portraits taken the ideal time is between 34-36 weeks. I would also recommend booking as soon as possible after your 20 week scan. Especially if you would like the bump to baby photography package. This will ensure I can reserve a date for your maternity photoshoot and fit you in for your newborn photography session.

I hope these pictures are treasured for years to come by all the family. I have a feeling they will be treasured most by this little boy and his mother.

Another from my lovely newborn photography session in Belsize Park, North London. I think there is nothing sweeter than photographing a newborn with a special cuddly toy. I have so many of my daughter with her favourite teddy when she was born. He was the same size of her and so fluffy! Now he is very warn and almost thread bare in places. He is loved though and still sleeps close by her side every night. This special elephant looks set for the same journey. All plush and new cuddled up next to his new owner. Who knows what adventures they will go on together.

Recently when visiting my parents home Bessie and I got my suitcase of childhood treasures out of the loft. In it was my old teddy. I have told Bessie many tales about him and she couldn’t wait for me to be reunited with my favourite ted. He was just as I remembered in his 70’s orange pyjamas with the elephant buttons made by my Mum. Bessie was so thrilled that every night she likes to tuck him into my bed ready for me. She said I must have missed him so much and he mustn’t ever be returned to the loft.

I have now passed him onto Sonny who has yet to select his special ted. He seems non fussed at the moment and usually tosses him out of his bed but perhaps he will grow on him or perhaps he will select his own. Either way it is nice to have him back and there is a part of me that is relieved he is not in a dark suitcase anymore.

I think I’ll have to post a picture of them together soon! We don’t let Bessie take her teddy out of the house – too dangerous out there! But I believe there is an ebay site for lost teddy’s which is popular. Selling a range of popular teddy’s and comforters so that you can quickly replace your little ones favourite soft toy. My sister in law very cleverly brought several of her son’s favourite elephant.

I hope you enjoy this sweet picture of baby Lily & her soft elephant as much as I have!

Introducing baby Lily!

This is one from a series of sweet sleeping pictures taken at her newborn photography session in Belsize Park. I particularly love the Spring flower garland against her dark hair. Isn’t she beautiful!

It was lovely to do the pregnancy & newborn photography for Lily’s parents. We had two wonderful session’s and even had all of the grandparents attending the newborn photoshoot. This is always such a treat. To capture three generations of one family together.

Bump to Baby photography session’s are a special way to capture this incredible time. I love creating images that compliment each other. Working in the same classic style of photography during both sessions. This pictures look stunning together in a gallery on your wall or in a family album.

My baby announcement cards are also a popular way to thank people for gifts and show off your new baby! Choosing one of your favourite pictures from your newborn photoshoot for the front of the card. The fine art cards are exquisite quality and also double as a gift as many Clients have commented that their family & friends have framed them as keepsakes.

Newborn Baby Photography Session Notting Hill, Camden London

This was a beautiful newborn photography session in Notting Hill. This lovely older brother was so proud and gentle with his new baby sister. It was wonderful to capture these tender sibling moments.

He was very patient whilst his mummy fed and changed his newborn sister. Then happily posed for the shots, gently cuddling his sister. As you can see from the pictures she was also an absolute dream to photograph.  Looking picture perfect in my little hand made flower bonnet.

It is always special to involve siblings in newborn sessions. They will love to look back on them in years to come. Through all the ups and downs you always have your brother or sister and that relationship will always be special.

I’m so grateful for my two sisters, they are there for me no matter what and I couldn’t be without them.

There are so many gorgeous shots from this photoshoot but these three are my stand out favourites.

Notting Hill and the surrounding area have long been one of my favourite spots in London. I often sneak away to the antiques and now many independent boutique shops in Notting Hill market. It reminds me of my first year in London. Exploring every corner and soaking it in. I visit lots of families in Camden, Primrose Hill, Hampstead, Ladbrooke Grove and the surrounding areas. I found this great website for Notting Hill Mummy’s – definitely worth checking out if you are local:www.nottinghillmummy.com

I also love the fantastically funny blog by notting hill mummy Not A Notting Hill Mum www.notanottinghillmum.co.uk

I love this mother and baby portrait taken at a newborn photography session in Old Street, London. We wrapped her little one in my hand made crochet shawl just at the last minute to settle him. It worked perfectly and the delicate crochet detail looks gorgeous draping down. I also have complete hair envy! Such a beautiful new mummy.

It is always refreshing to visit new parts of London and I loved travelling to their stunning home in Old Street. Tucked away but with incredible views over the city. I also found this great blog for urban mums living in London www.urbanmums.net 

I set up my studio in their home. Ensuring that the room was warm enough for these beautiful sleepy shots. I bring a special heated pad to warm my newborn posing beanbag before positioning the baby. This really helps to keep them comfortable and settled during the photoshoot.

I bring everything that is needed with me so that the new parents can sit back and relax. All of my nappy covers, hats and blankets are handmade. Using the softest most delicate fabrics which won’t irritate baby’s delicate skin. Any props used are hand-washed after each session with non-bio sensitive washing powder. Care and attention is paid to all these little details. Their safety and comfort is always my priority. With years of experience working with newborns you can rest assured that they are in safe hands. I bring my own hand sanitiser gel and reapply this regularly. I’m also more than happy to use any supplied at the home.

Working with newborns is such a joy. I like to allow them to fall naturally into poses with a little guidance and help from me to create the perfect shot.

I hope you enjoy this sneak peak!

Baby Face! This little one has the cutest little baby face! I love this pose for my newborn photography session’s. I love her beautiful eyelashes and gorgeous little pout! Just too beautiful for words. I’ve paired this shot with her tiny feet picture as side by side they work so well as a set.

This was such a lovely newborn photoshoot at my Clients home in South London. Even Granddad made a special journey for the occasion and I took some beautiful family  & Granddad shots during the session. Granddads have a special relationship with their grandchildren. It can often be a little daunting holding a newborn again after such a long time. I always make sure that they feel comfortable and are positioned safely or sat for their portraits.

It’s always lovely to receive recommendations from my Clients. Yesterday I received this lovely message from the mummy of this little one: “my friend is pregnant and will be getting in touch with you shortly as she loves our pictures so much. Thank you for such a beautiful job!”

If you would like to read more reviews and testimonials please see my google review page and also the testimonial page on my website.

Each time a do a newborn session I’m reminded by how quickly this stage passes. A new baby really is a special gift to the family and especially the grandparents. Reminding them of their early days with you as a baby. It really is a precious (although exhausting) time.

I feel even more so with my second child that this stage zoomed by. You are so busy as a mother of two that the days seem to go all that much faster. I try to take as many pictures as possible and hold onto those beautiful memories of those first cuddles.

I love the glamour of this pregnancy portrait. Black & white photography is beautiful and gives a classic edge to this shot.

It was such a pleasure to photograph Keri whilst she was expecting twins. Capturing this moment in time. A moment of calm and a time of reflection. Becoming a mother is one of the greatest adventures of our lives. It changes you in a way that you least expect it. Challenging your ideals and making you value life in a completely different way.

I think it is wonderful that so many women are now choosing to celebrate their pregnancy and record it in this way. Capturing the beauty of this incredible time and celebrating your changing body.

Keri did her own hair and make up beautifully for this photoshoot. I do also have a great hair and make up artist who I work with regularly. Arrangements can be made when you book your portrait session.

Keri is a well known designer and creator of the fantastic Kerikit bags 

These beautiful, handmade leather changing bags are so stylish! I’m a little bit in love with the Charlie Pony bag . Not surprisingly these bags have been winning awards left, right and centre and have been featured in many international publications. Not to mention spotted on many a celebrity mamma’s arm!

This is no small achievement as a mother of three with a set of twins under two included! I think the twins were actually under one when she launched her first range. Take a moment to check out her range from one of the links above. It’s a great gift idea for baby showers and new mummy’s!

One of my older baby and family photography sessions. This one took place at my Client’s home in Dulwich. Just look at her gorgeous baby face and those beautiful eyes! This session was lots of fun. My second with this lovely family as they wanted to repeat our first portrait session which took place after their first child was born. (See picture at the bottom with special guest rabbit!)

I do love photographing this age. Between 4 – 6months is the perfect time for an older baby session. It’s wonderful to capture the cheeky baby smiles and gorgeous little arms & fists. The first year is full of so many dramatic changes. As a parent you don’t want to forget any of them.

My ‘first year’ portrait packages are ideal for this. Three photography session’s spread over the first year. From newborn at two weeks to 4-6months to one year old. It’s the perfect way to create a visual journey of their first year. These also make beautiful gifts for baby showers and maternity leave. Available to purchase on my gift section here. Each voucher is packaged in a lovely gift box with a mini set of Green & Blacks organic chocolates (my favourites) and your personalised gift card. There is still plenty of time to order your’s for Mothers Day. The cut off for Mothers Day orders is Thursday 23rd March.

Dulwich is one of my favourite places in London. I moved to South East London when I first made the big adventure from the Isle of Wight to the big smoke after University. Moving between, Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Dulwich and Brockley I’ve always chosen this pocket of London. Mostly for it’s wonderful green spaces and sense of community.

There is so much on offer for new parents and it is so easy to travel into town when I need my gallery fix.

We regularly use Dulwich Park and visit the Dulwich Picture Gallery with our children. If you have younger children I can highly recommend checking out the fantastic East Dulwich Gymboree! A great place for toddlers to explore and enjoy music in a softplay environment.
