Pregnancy, Newborn & baby photography: BBC Radio 4 ‘Pop to Pregnancy’

Another chance to listen to Elle & Andy on BBC Radio 4’s ‘picturing Britain’ – it will be aired again tomorrow 24th January at 1.45pm

In Picturing Britain, Adil Ray examines the country through the lens of it’s most distinctive photographers.

In this second programme Adil meets Andy Fallon, a music photographer whose gritty, authentic style enlivens Britain’s music magazines and newspapers. As he shoots the indie band Wild Beasts, Adil gets a glimpse into the artistry and gaffa tape behind the taking of iconic music photographs.

His wife Elle was also a music photographer, but she has left behind the mud of Glastonbury and crush of concerts, to take classic black and white portraits of bumps and babies. Adil hears how women, four weeks before their birth, no longer hide in tent-shaped clothes but celebrate the beauty of their changing bodies.

Pregnancy & newborn baby photography in Camberwell, South East London

These were taken at a pregnancy photography session I did for a lovely family in Camberwell, South East London followed by a newborn baby photography session a few days later as their daughter decided to arrive a few hours after the pregnancy photography session!

It was a wonderful experience to be with this family at such a special time, I couldn’t believe it when Emma told me her water broke 45 minutes after I left! Both session were very calm and relaxed carried out in their own home in Camberwell South East London.

Big sister Ella had lots of energy during both session and kept us very well entertained! You can feel the warmth and personalities of each of them in these portraits and it’s wonderful to capture so many tender moments.

This is just a small selection from the portrait sessions, I hope you enjoy having  a look and thank you to the family for letting me share!

Newborn Photography Session, Brockley London

Louise Hamlin – Brockley

“Elle is a true professional, she made us all feel incredibly relaxed and we are utterly thrilled with the results, the only problem is choosing which photos we want as they are all excellent! It is something I would whole heartedly recommend every family to do, being captured at this very special time in a family’s life as it passes so quickly, it is truly something you can treasure and admire for years and generations to come!”

Baby Portrait Photography in Canada Water, London

These are a few of the portraits taken during my baby portrait session in Canada Water, South East London with this lovely 8 month old baby boy.

He was such a bundle of fun throughout the shoot, I love capturing babies at different stages and this is a lovely age to photograph as he was able to sit up unaided and there was plenty of singing and toy squeaking going on to keep him entertained!

Pregnancy photography in Highbury & Islington

Happy New Year!

I  hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (first Christmas for many of the new little people I met last year!) and that 2012 will bring much more joy and happiness to you all!

I’ve had a wonderful start to the year meeting Liz in Highbury & Islington today for her pregnancy photo session at 36 weeks pregnant – she looked beautiful! Our session was very relaxed at Liz’s home and I was able to capture some beautiful shots based on some ideas Liz had – the results are stunning. We chatted about pregnancy and photography and Liz commented that there would unlikely be another time that she would feel comfortable being photographed in such an intimate way. The portraits are stunning and Liz looks so comfortable and confident with her bump – there’s is a certain glow during pregnancy and I love capturing this on camera.

I received a lovely testimonial from Liz:

“Completely delighted with how professional Elle was for my pregnancy shoot – was a very last minute decision (@36 weeks) and it was so nice not to have to leave my own home. She told me what to prepare in advance clothes wise which was really helpful. I also hate having my photo taken – for me this was all about my bump, however I’m so pleased with the results I could get used to it! Thank-you for making me look (and feel) great, not an easy task in the latter stages of pregnancy.”Elizabeth Hayes – Highbury & Islington, London

Thank you Liz for a lovely morning and good luck with your coming birth and I look forward to meeting your new arrival!
