Cherub Alton, Andover, Basingstoke Baby Photographer

admin0 — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:16:46 +0000

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.

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!

More from the session with the two sweet little sisters I photographed a couple of weeks ago in Oakley. What a fun session! It was a balmy late April afternoon, and we ran, twirled and giggled lots all throughout. But what I love the most, is that we were able to capture some really tender moments like this one:

They even showed me some of their favourite poses

It was nice to see them happy and relaxed!

A Special Bond Fleet, Reading, Winchester Child Photographer

With only 17 months between them, it is easy to see how A and E are not just sisters – they share a beautiful friendship that will accompany them throughout their lives. This very special relationship made it all the more delightful to take their portraits last weekend – their interactions were so much fun to watch and capture! So much character and sass, both of them – reminds me of a little girl I know well

Happy 4th birthday, little E! And here’s a sneak peek for mum and dad – I look forward to showing you the rest

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

admin0 — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:22:13 +0000

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

Early signs of spring spotted!Fleet, Hartley Wintney, Hook Child and Family Photographer

Madame Spring has kept us waiting a bit longer than usual this year, but it won’t be long now – the daffodils are out, budding leaves can be seen on the bare trees, temperatures are rising. So I am being optimistic, trying to ignore what should be the last of the bad weather, and instead focusing on the beautiful scenery that will (hopefully!) be here in just a few more days. After all, the BBC promises it is going to be a spring to remember, and the Beeb never lies, right?

This is a great time to book your springtime child or family session at your favourite locations all around Hampshire and Berkshire! And remember – if it’s gorgeous bluebells portraits you’re after, the season for them is just around the corner (early to mid May), and it’s only short – only two weeks long. So get in touch ASAP to reserve your spot!

And just because a picture is worth a thousand words… here is an early spring show spotted last weekend at Eastrop Park in Basingstoke:

S and G are expecting a bouncy baby boy in early February, and they are thrilled to bits! Before little L makes his grand entrance, they wanted to celebrate this very special moment in their lives with the ‘boys’, their two gorgeous huskies, with a lifestyle portrait shoot in this beautiful countryside location close to their home.

Enjoy these, guys – I can’t wait to meet J at his newborn shoot!

And just one at home… hello bump

Happy 2010 one and all!

As I haven’t updated my blog in a while, I thought I’d bring you some post-holiday cheer with some new portraits of two very special little people

Look forward to more updates and announcements in the next few days!
