Cherub Alton, Andover, Basingstoke Baby Photographer

Just one little teaser from last weekend’s session. With that adorable little face, those chubby cheeks and blond curls, every time I took a shot of little R I just couldn’t help thinking that he looks just like a sweet little cherub! (I promise I won’t photoshop any wings on him though! Ha!) The shoot took place at his grandparents’ beautiful farmhouse near Alton, what a fabulous place for portraits that was. We got so much variety! More to come in the next few weeks

Meet 10-month-old baby T, cute as a button, and his sweet big sisters L and K. On the occasion of T’s first ever professional portraits, we went for a walk around Hartley Wintney, strawberry picking with his big sisters at first (while he took a cool morning nap), and then around the town’s beautiful common. What little troopers all three of them were – even on such a hot day, they soldiered on like real pros! I am so proud of them and the beautiful portraits we got on the day. Here are a few of my favourites!

Special thanks go to Daddy for scaring away the angry goose from this lovely little spot.

The last time I met little T’s family, last September, it was on the occasion of his big sister’s one-year-old portraits (remember?). This gorgeous little man was only a couple of months old at the time, and slept soundly throughout the session – so I never got a chance to photograph him. But fortunately, I had the pleasure of being invited back by the lovely P family last weekend, as T has just turned one and it’s now his turn to have his portraits taken!

Just like last time, we visited some really fantastic locations right on the family’s doorstep near Andover, and came away with a great set of portraits for T and of course, plenty of his big brother and sister too. Although, you’ll have to stay tuned for those Here’s a little taster of what’s to come!

He really was! And it is such a pleasure to come back and show more from this wonderful session with baby R, who absolutely rocked it, chilled out li’l dude-style! (yes ok, enough with the surfer talk!)

Cuddles with Daddy…

And Mummy…

And his just as gorgeous big brothers!

Melt my heart, why don’t you

Last weekend, on one of the hottest days of the year, I met up with the M family to take some informal lifestyle portraits of their new baby boy, R. My goodness, at just 17 weeks old, this little guy is so handsome and sweet I just wanted to take him home with me. We captured lots of big smiles and snuggles with mama, daddy and big brothers, but this serious, inquisitive look really caught my eye – so I chose it for the session sneak preview! Thank you so much, M family, for your warm welcome and for sharing your family life with me for a few hours! I can’t wait to show you the rest next week!

Today, I’d like to tell you about one of my favourite items in my product line-up – the Premium Digital Collection. This collection contains all the high resolution image files from your session, and it’s perfect for clients who wish to archive electronically their portraits, as well as being able to use them in a variety of ways – like scrapbooking, printing copies for friends and relatives (especially popular at Christmas!) and sharing online. The Premium Digital Collection has quickly become my most popular item, and this makes me happy – I want you to keep and enjoy every single one of the portraits I have created for you

On the CD, you will receive high resolution, colour and black-and-white versions of each of your portraits, as well as web resized and optimised image files, ready for use online on blogs and social networking sites.

But each Premium Digital Collection is so much more than a CD. It is a keepsake in its own right. The Premium Digital collection includes a professional, 7×5 bordered colour print of each of your session’s final images, elegantly presented in a double-spined, individually designed photographic keepsake box for true coffee table or bookshelf presentation.

Another good reason to purchase a Premium Digital Collection is that it entitles you to a 15% discount over any other wall display items and albums you may decide to order. This makes it even easier for you to treat yourself to a beautiful wall arrangement in a variety of elegant contemporary styles (see my Display Products section for more details) – so you can enjoy your portraits in your home every day!

You can call me on 07941 355027 (or drop me an email using the contact form above) for more information, or to arrange your bespoke photo session.

One image of gorgeous Miss I was certainly not enough, so I am back to share some more of this beautiful newborn baby girl I shot a few weeks ago. Peach perfect skin and the squishiest loveliest baby lips, this little lady is very, very loved and adored by her Mummy and Daddy. Don’t they look adorable together?

Three sisters and a friend Andover, Winchester, Reading Child and Baby Photographer

I’ve known each of these three beautiful girls since they were born; indeed, the eldest and my eldest are only 3 days apart in age! And yet, with our hectic lives, I rarely get a chance to photograph them. Madness, right? So finally last weekend, while our families were enjoying a walk around the neighbourhood, picking flowers and visiting the local playground, I seized the chance to snap a few. These images make my heart happy, so I wanted to share with you all

Newborn Baby Photography is Big News! Basingstoke, Reading, Winchester Newborn Baby Photographer

Across the pond, our American cousins are going ga-ga over newborn photography. While still relatively new over here in the UK, capturing a baby in his or her first days is becoming increasingly popular in the US. It is a wonderful way for parents of preserving the memories of those precious little details in a unique and artistic way – the perfect little hands and feet, sleepy eyes, squishy lips, swirling crowns of hair!

The Today Show recently featured a segment on newborn photography – it is a great watch for those of you currently considering a newborn session, who are unsure of what to expect. While I would say that my personal style in capturing this age is more natural and less reliant on props than the (very talented!) photographers featured in this video, many of the aspects and considerations very much apply to what I do.

Are you considering newborn baby and/or maternity portraits? I would be delighted to tell you more about what I can offer your family! Just give me a call on 07941 355027 or drop me an email using the contact form on this site.

At just 15 days old, sweet baby I was such a little angel for me at her newborn photo shoot. Blissfully asleep for the most part of my visit, she curled up in some really adorable poses. Oh and… just look at those adorable lips. Really irresistible! A little preview for Mummy and Daddy – thank you for your warm welcome and I look forward to seeing you again in just a few days’ time!
