The H Family – Fareham Baby and Family Photo Session Fareham, Winchester, Southampton Baby and Family Photographer

An extraordinarily mild winter this ( or better, last!) year has meant that I was able to take outdoors baby and family photo sessions right up until the beginning of December. This beautiful family were my last outdoors clients in 2011, and the year certainly went out with a bang – we captured an amazing set of images of little Oliver and his Mummy and Daddy, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, here is a little taster of what’s to come!

Now that we are *definitely* in the throes of winter, it is wonderful to look back at one of my most colourful autumn photo sessions of the year. 10-month-old Lyla and her Mummy and Daddy were just incredible – we had *the* best time together, the morning just went so quickly. I just adore these natural portraits of them just being themselves in the autumn sunshine! Thanks guys – it was a real pleasure to meet you.

Then, back home for a mini shoot of Lyla in her gorgeous Christening dress, and just chillaxing with her toys

The G Family Preview- Richmond, London Family Photo Session London, Winchester, Southampton Baby and Family Photographer

I met the G family on a sunny, unseasonably warm autumn day in Kew Gardens. I am convinced that they brought the sunshine all the way from Texas! Our photo shoot took us all around some of the beautifully preserved historic buildings all around the gardens. More of that to come soon – but a simple emotion shot is my pick for this little preview. G Family, I just loved your warmth, joy and affection. Enjoy!

I met little Oisín and his Mummy and Daddy a few weeks ago for an outdoors photo session, with the purpose to capture some natural portraits and expressions for this lovely young family. With a beautiful location all to ourselves, we took our time playing and exploring, and came away with a perfect set of images!

Back to share a few more favourites from my photo session with my ‘old friend’ Izzy and her lovely family, on the day after her 1st birthday. I photographed Izzy as a two week old newborn, and it was such a pleasure to see how much she has grown in a year!

Sicily, Summer 2011 – Our Holidays Winchester, Southampton, London Family and Children’s Photographer

If you follow this blog, you may have noticed a certain lack of entries as of late. I am still most definitely around and working very hard for my lovely clients, whose beautiful portraits will grace this blog once again in the next few days! But before resuming normal service, I wanted to share some images from our trip to Sicily last month. My eyes and heart are still full of the sunshine, sea and warmth of my old home. Isn’t it funny how, as you get older, you get to appreciate more and more the things you took for granted (almost snubbed!) as a child? Anyhow, I feel incredibly fortunate to come from such a spectacular part of the world, and love that my children enjoy visiting the places that are so familiar to me and that hold so many beautiful memories.

You’ve met little T a few weeks back, finally I am back to post some more from his one year/family session! As I mentioned in my earlier post, this is the second time I visit this family for their portraits, and both times they had me completely won over. Why? Because I love their spirit, their simplicity and cheer, and the fact that neither the children, nor mum and dad, ever take themselves too seriously Z and P, thanks again for a wonderful morning shooting your gorgeous babies, and for introducing me to yet another picturesque part of Hampshire!

Birthday boy!

Lil lady has got sass!

Handsome big brother! (see, they do love each other! )

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!

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!
