London Children’s Photographer session in Clapham. I love these sibling portraits. These two had such a giggle during our session and I think this definitely comes across in their pictures. I adore the first picture of them together and the following one of Freddie smiling into my camera.
These sessions are always lots of fun and even more so when the family dog is involved! This is one of the sweetest and gentlest dogs I have had the pleasure of photographing. It is not an uncommon request to include the family pet in the portraits and I am always more than happy to do so. This beautiful dog is so patient with the children.
She marches casually into the studio and takes her place, a dream to photograph and I love how her markings look in black & white.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. It’s a short one today as I have limited time between sessions but I will be adding some more soon.
Further details about my sessions are available in my brochure. To receive a copy please fill out your details on the ‘make a booking enquiry’ page. I’m currently taking bookings for 2017, January & February dates are going quickly so please get in touch as soon as possible to schedule your pregnancy, newborn, baby & family sessions.

I’m so excited to share these pictures from my Baby photography Clapham session. This was a very special first birthday photography session. It’s an important milestone and definitely one worth celebrating.
I have photographed this family since their first pregnancy. It was such an exciting time to welcome their first baby into the world with their beautiful pregnancy and newborn pictures. Over the past four years I have been so privileged to capture their children’s milestones. From first to second pregnancy, newborn, baby & first year portraits.
As a photographer their is no greater joy than getting to know my clients. I love to try to capture their little ones personalities and to create extra special shots. I believe professional portraits should stand the test of time. Pictures you will be proud to display and treasure for years to come.
This little one loves to climb so we added her special chair to this shot. Just look at her beautiful beaming face in this portrait. I captured her gorgeous smile just as she proudly turned around.
For the next shots I had prepared a special Number 1 crown, tutu and beads. These were so much fun to create, she loved the beads! A very sweet and fun first birthday photoshoot.
The little frilly romper and headband in the first shot were also from my selection of props. I have some gorgeous outfits for one year olds and love to create classic pictures to celebrate the first year.
I was also lucky enough to capture her first steps during the session. This has only happened a handful of times to me and I felt so lucky to be there. I included the step series in their beautiful handmade album which contained their final selection of images.
I’ve been adding some of my recent Baby Photography session pictures to my Pinterest, it’s a great place to get ideas. You can follow me here

Christmas Gift Ideas
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in our home. I love this time of year. Yesterday we put up our daughters Christmas angel and this morning there was much excitement as she opened door number 1!
This year I’m trying to be thoughtful with my Christmas shopping. I’m buying local as much as possible and choosing independent designers and artists. It is much more personal to choose gifts in this was and I like to think I’m helping some one along the way.
There are quite a few on my list but I must give a little mention to the fantastic & unique illustrations by Heavens to Betsy
These pictures have really captured my imagination. Nancy Ellis, creator, founder and artist has a truly original style. She has also cleverly created a series of Christmas cards featuring local landmarks for South East London such as Greenwich Park, The Rivoli Ballrooms, Brokley Christmas markets and the Brockley Jack Theatre. It’s so nice to send a Christmas card that reflects the area you live in. Especially ones that are so beautifully made and presented. Cards can be purchased from her website or by contacting Nancy through her facebook page.
As if all of this wasn’t enough you can also create a bespoke illustration as a gift for your loved ones. send Nancy your favourite photograph of your family and she will lovingly create a one off illustration of that picture. Such a wonderful gift for any member of the family. (please visit the website for details: www.heavenstobetsy.co.uk)
I’ll be adding more local and charity websites on the lead up to Christmas. I think it’s always nice to have fresh ideas.

What a beautiful winters day! Bright sunshine, crisp cold air and a dusting of frost on the garden! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for snow this Christmas. As much as I know it does cause a huge disruption, it would be so magical for the children.
I’m heading out to do a private viewing with one of my lovely Clients this morning. I always look forward to these meetings. It’s the perfect opportunity to review the images from the session and find out which ones are their favourites. I like to offer as much help as possible. I know new parents have such limited free time and it can make the world of difference to have a little help. Even just allocating a time to sit down to choose the correct pictures is a a big help.
Before I head out I thought I’d share one more portrait from my family photography session in Westminster. It was lovely to return and see this handsome little boy at the weekend. Captured here at nearly 5 years old, he is now just about to turn 6! Our session was like a dream yesterday. He and his sister were very excited to have me at their home again to photograph them. He was even helping to direct the photoshoot and lined up all of his toys in height order for their portraits. Absolutely adorable and a true star to photograph.
I can’t wait to edit their pictures and share some more with you.
I’m also preparing some pictures of my new stylish gift vouchers.Ready for Christmas delivery! I hope to have these ready to share on my blog tomorrow evening.
Baby Photography Westminster

I can’t wait to see these two again today for their family photography session at their home in Westminster. I’ve been very lucky to document them since this little girl was born and each year add to their family gallery.
It’s always wonderful to return to their family home and see how much they have grown. Todays session will be lots of fun, we will focus on some new sibling shots, mother & child, father & child and family shots. I will also do some nice detailed portraits of the children individually.
Childhood passes all too quickly and it is lovely to create a special family gallery every year. Before I leave for our afternoon session I’m just having a quick sneak peak at some of my favourites from our last photoshoot. Aren’t they beautiful. It’s so sweet to capture these brother & sister moments. I love how they wouldn’t let their teddy’s go the entire time. Growing up together, being friends and always being a part of each others life. special memories for them and their parents.
I treasure all of my family photographs and albums. My daughter is now 6 years old and my baby boy turned two just over a week a go. Time is flying and it is so very precious. I’m booking them in for their Christmas portrait session this week. It’s something we like to do every year and gift our family pictures for Christmas. It’s one of the best gifts you can give to Grandparents and always feels very special to do.
Enjoy your Sunday with your loved ones x

I’m heading off to Battersea this morning for a Pregnancy Photography session and I’m pulling some inspiration from this beautiful bump shoot.
Each session is so unique and I love meeting my Clients to capture their bump to baby journey for them. It is wonderful to celebrate pregnancy in this way. I always hope that my sessions not only provide a lasting memory of this time but are also an enjoyable experience for my Clients
A pregnancy session typically lasts two hours and in this time we will include a variety of shots. Using my professional studio we will use different fabrics for pregnancy portraits, couple shots and just the bump shots. I’m also very open to including any ideas, even pets on occasion! It’s not an uncommon request.
As I write this I’m laughing to myself, I have one hand on my laptop typing and one reading a book to my little two year old. Motherhood can be a juggle sometimes but it is wonderful. I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I like to give my little ones my full attention but it isn’t always possible so you learn how to juggle and make the most of the minutes that you have. The days are long. We start early in our house but never have there been so many laughs! (and tears!)
I am very lucky, I have a supportive team around me helping make all of this possible. I’m hugely grateful and especially to my husband, my number one support.
I’ll be sharing more shots from recent sessions soon. As many of my recent sessions are being dispatched to family and friends as Christmas gifts I don’t want to spoil the surprise with any sneak peaks!
I also have some beautiful new photography gift voucher sets ready for Christmas. I’ll be adding pictures of these when I have the time but please do get in touch for details. Either via my booking page or gift voucher page.
Pregnancy Photography Session Battersea

Private newborn photography session in your home, London UK – I’ve had some wonderful newborn sessions this week. It’s such a treat to welcome little ones into the world just before Christmas. My son was born in November and I loved snuggling with my newborn baby without a wish in the world to venture into the cold outside.
I’m sharing a sleepy newborn happily dreaming in a daddy arm cradle this evening. It’s one of my favourite pictures to do during a newborn photography session. I work with newborns every day and have years of experience settling & safely positioning them. I am also very sensitive to how new parents are feeling. The first weeks following the birth of your child are tiring and overwhelming at times. It’s important to me that everyone is relaxed and comfortable during the session. There is also the added benefit that your professional photoshoot will take place in your home. This is a very important part of making sure everyone enjoys their newborn session.
I have had parents go back to bed or fall asleep on the sofa whilst I’m photographing their baby. I’m very happy when this happens. It’s perfectly normal for a session to last three hours or sometimes more. It can take time to settle newborns and to achieve shots like this as they need to be sleeping.
I have a natural style of photography and will carefully work with your baby to ensure they settle gently into each pose. My professional & portable studio is perfect for creating these shots in your home.
Tomorrow I’m looking forward to travelling to South West London for a newborn twin photography session. Twins are amazing to photograph. I cant wait to meet them and their family.
There has been lots of work taking place behind the scenes this weekend as pre-Christmas is one of my busiest times of year. I’m looking forward to sharing some of these and other recent sessions on my blog soon. I have a huge stack of orders ready to dispatch on Monday morning. Once everyone has received their orders I may be able to share one or two sneak peaks!

I’ve been busy burning the midnight oil this week, retouching my most recent pregnancy and newborn photography sessions. Working through these beautiful bump pictures is making me feel nostalgic. I keep being transported back to that feeling of becoming a mother for the first time.
I loved being pregnant with my two children and I quite often miss my bump. The first few weeks after giving birth to my daughter was a very strange feeling. I missed feeling her move inside me and having spoken to my Clients I know many mothers share this feeling.
I think Ursula Rose sums up some of the things I miss about being pregnant perfectly in her blog post here. It’s a very natural feeling. Being pregnant is one of the most defining times in a womans life. My Mum visited me this week and it was lovely to chat to her about how becoming a mother changes you. Your priorities change. You have to learn to care for and protect a little human 24 hours a day every day. It can be overwhelming at times. Whenever I’m having a challenging day I like to try and see the world through their eyes. It helps to transport yourself back to being a child and immerse yourself in their world. I’ve learnt so much through them. I’d love to freeze their childhood and keep it forever.
I think capturing the beauty of pregnancy in a portrait is a great way to celebrate this incredible time. Sometimes the simplest shot does that. Like this gorgeous picture I took of “just the bump”. The lace I’ve used for this picture looks so romantic. It has a classic & elegant feel and what a beautiful bump!

Mother-to-be and brand new baby portraits taken at a Pregnancy & Newborn Photography Kensington session.
I love this pregnancy portrait of Mum. A beautiful smile captured just at the right moment. It was a pleasure to celebrate her pregnancy with these personal portraits. Taken at around 36 weeks the family home in Kensington. I think she looks stunning. I’ve included one here in my portfolio.
I chose a sleepy newborn picture of her gorgeous baby boy. I think these two portraits sit beautifully together. A perfect bump to baby story. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
This week I visited the family again for his 5 month baby photography session. It was wonderful to see how he has grown.
I’m always delighted to document the first year. With portraits all taken in the same black & white style. To really show the changes and developments. The baby stage is almost as fleeting as the newborn stage. Not long from now he will be toddling. As a parent I know how important it is to cherish every moment. Through all the tiredness and challenges that come with parenting. It is truly magical.
When I visit Kensington for my pregnancy, newborn and baby photography sessions I’m always struck by the beauty of the buildings. Especially at Christmas time. The beautiful white Georgian town houses and streets all lit up. The grand entrance to Harrods that is breathtaking on approach. I personally prefer gazing at the beautiful window displays to shopping. I like to get lost in the magic.
There is always plenty to do in London in the winter. It’s a great city for families. There are endless events and days out to be had. I’ve found that the Kensington Mums blog is a great place to check out local listings. If you haven’t booked tickets yet the Christmas fair is definitely worth a visit www.kensingtonmums.co.uk

A big thank you to my lovely Client for permission to share pictures from her Pregnancy Photography Dulwich session.
I can’t get over how relaxed & radiant she looks expecting her fourth baby boy. It was an honour to meet such an inspirational Mum.
The session was timed perfectly to start whilst her youngest napped and her eldest two were at school. This gave us the time we needed to enjoy a private maternity session. Capturing beautiful intimate moments that are just for her. As a soon to be mother of four this was a very special occasion. I love this one, it’s such a striking image.
Having not had professional maternity portraits for her previous pregnancies, my Client told me that she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to capture this one. It was also important to include her three boys. A pregnancy photoshoot is a great way to get little ones excited about their new baby brother or sister. It’s an important time before the new baby arrives that is just for them. It is also a beautiful bonding time with their Mum. I hope that they will look back at this pictures with fond memories of a great day.
When her youngest woke from his nap we took a few fun shots just with him. Isn’t he adorable! He woke up full of smiles and we were able to capture some beautiful moments. When her eldest two returned from school their energy filled the house. They were amazing and a joy to photograph. I think this middle picture captures their personalities perfectly.
When I returned a few weeks later to photograph their gorgeous newborn baby brother they were just as excited. They couldn’t wait to have their pictures taken with their new baby brother. You can see a selection of their newborn portraits here on my blog.
