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.

More from little E’s newborn session (isn’t she the sweetest little two-week-old peanut!) What a lucky baby she is. Mummy adores her, Daddy dotes on her. I felt absolutely privileged to take the first portraits of this beautiful young family, and to witness the love they share!

Looking back at a busy and exciting year, I feel very fortunate to have been able to share time with my clients, getting to know them and taking portraits of their beautiful families and children in some truly breathtaking locations.

In no particular order, here are just a few of my favourite images of 2009. Thank you to everyone for making this a great year to remember!

These two beautiful little girls were a a delightful mix of mischief and sweetness. They were a total pleasure to shoot (just look at the expressions on those little faces!) but they gave me a full and total workout – who needs personal trainers, eh

A special thank you to Mum and Dad for suggesting these stunning countryside locations near Maidenhead for our session, they were a perfect backdrop for these autumnal portraits and it’s obvious that the girls had a great time exploring!

A Fun Autumn Family Session!Basingstoke, Reading, Newbury Family Photographer

Early October, the leaves are turning red and starting to fall. The air is fresh, clean but not cold. Can you tell I just *love* shooting outdoors in the Autumn! This beautiful family couldn’t have chosen a better time for their portraits. Little C really enjoyed his walk out in the pretty parkland – we kicked some leaves, threw some rocks in the water, sampled the local blackberries, all the while taking some stunning photos. Thank you to the P family – I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!

Meet the B family. F, the mum, is one of my oldest and best friends from back home. Z, her hubby, is her teenage sweetheart and all round great guy. On this visit home, I had the pleasure of meeting their beautiful little girl for the first time. She just turned one and is such a happy and sunny little person – funnily enough, just like her mummy! Getting to know such a dear friend’s precious daughter and seeing their little family so blissfully happy was a fantastic feeling.

Here are some shots from a session we did on the occasion of little L’s birthday.

Two weeks in SicilyHampshire, Berkshire, London Family Photographer

The summer is a fantastic time to be in Italy – I should know, since I am a native My family and I went for a two week break in my home land of Sicily. We hadn’t visited for two years, and of course my youngest had never been, so I was really looking forward to seeing how my children would react to the sea and warm sunshine. And of course I was ready to capture it all on camera!

We had a lovely time and came back with many memories that will keep us warm on those cold wintery days ahead.

Here are some of my very favourites from our stay. The beach shots were taken on Magaggiari beach in Terrasini, the indoors shots are in my mother’s beautiful home, and the other location is San Giovanni degli Eremiti, a 12th century Arab-Norman church in Palermo. This latter place I would strongly recommend to any visitors to Palermo. It is one of the most stunning historical monuments I have ever had the fortune to visit!

Another weekend, another beautiful mama ! This Saturday, I met with the W-L family, who are expecting a new baby sister in June. Big brother J has decided on bumpy’s provisional nickname – Buttercup – which is incredibly cute!

Such a sweet young family, it was a real pleasure to work with you. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

And how could I resist shooting some of these two very handsome (and very well behaved!) boys!
