Torrential rain lashed down the day before our planned outdoor family photography spring session at Langley Park in Buckinghamshire, and we decided on a rare reschedule. However two days later we were rewarded for our patience with a beautiful sunny and blue skyed day. With a one year old just beginning to take her first steps it...
So you’d like a professional photographer to capture some portraits for lasting memories of this time in your family’s life? But you are having trouble deciding who to hire? Here are some of my tips of what look for when you choose a family photographer: 1) Portfolio – does the photographer have a portfolio showing a wide...
Last week I visited Baby O at home for a session of lifestyle baby photography in Notting Hill. At eight months baby O was very keen to explore and find out what my camera was for, and was a very happy little model. I think her favourite discovery was the fabulous baby in the mirror...
Celebrating Baby E’s first birthday with a bluebell family photography session was fun! I was delighted that this family shared my love of bluebells so we went to explore the local woods. A wooden den was a fun location for the children and when the sun started shining we had the unusual sight of bluebells in the sunshine...
This was a quick mini photo shoot with a friend as she passed through on her way home to the USA, so we didn’t have time for changes of outfit or location. What we did have time for was recording the fantastic new expressions a three month old is making, and though I haven’t...

Since I was visiting William at home his wooden toolkit was there and handy, so Daddy had an idea. Splat. Demonstration over, Daddy handed...
What is a cake smash? One year olds often don’t know much about cake. And they certainly haven’t been given a whole one to themselves before! So setting up for cake smash photos where they are presented with a whole cake to investigate is a popular way to celebrate a first birthday. Babies have a...
I love meeting babies again to see how they’ve grown, and so I was delighted to see baby Lisa for her 1 year photoshoot in Uxbridge after taking her newborn photos last summer. First we took some serious portraits – with Lisa in her traditional Japanese christening kimono robe and Mum then completed the picture...
It was great to see William again and see how much he has grown since his newborn photoshoot. At just over six months he is determined that he is a standing baby and practises at every opportunity! For our baby photography Ruislip Lido session we took advantage of the lovely weather. We had a fun...
