Two beautiful babies for you today.

Firstly we have 10 day old Sebastian, who came in for his very first portrait shoot. His mum was telling me that he spent most of the day sleeping, but today he decided he wanted to be wide awake! However, after he had a long good feed, he fell into a deep sleep.

Next we have 6 month old Leah who was also in for her first portrait. She loved lying on her back whilst having her photograph taken!

Meet Emily everyone!

Emily very much enjoyed her time at the studio. She made lots of happy baby noises and giggled when the flash went off!

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, its been very busy here!

Firstly, if you are looking to have a family portrait photograph taken in the very near future, we are participating in a special offer which is done in conjunction with the Mail on Sunday and the Master Photographers Association. For full details, make sure you get the 4th April edition of the Mail on Sunday (Spring Lifestyle Supplement) and then give me a call! Offer applies to portrait sittings for up to five people undertaken at my studio.

Lastly, here are a few shots from some of the sittings I’ve recently done. First up is Harry(1). A lovely little boy who was very well behaved and came in as part of our Kodak promotion – where you have the chance of winning £1,000.00. Secondly we have Charlotte (4), who just LOVED having her photograph taken! Finally, we have the scrumptious Louis who was only a week old when he came in for his first portrait.

Some more shots taken in the last few days.

First up is the lovely ten month old Daniel. I love this portrait of him – just look at his lovely blue eyes. Secondly, a newborn portrait featuring the gorgeous Callum, who was only six days old when I took this shot. Finally, we have Thomas-Paul(2) who came in as part of our Kodak promotion. A lovely little boy who was keen to check out all the nooks and crannies in my studio!

Regular visitors to my blog will remember my November 21st post which featured Amy, who came in for a pregnancy portrait sitting. Yesterday, Amy and her partner Kieron were back in my studio with their beautiful new addition to their family – the absolutely gorgeous Ava-May.

She was very good during the shoot and only complained a couple of times! But after she had a nice feed, she was very happy to have her photograph taken. You could tell that mum and dad are completely overjoyed with her arrival into their family.

Our Kodak promotion is going very well and as a result, I now have very limited space left for February and I’m now booking into March onwards. If  you have a photogenic child aged between 0-12 and would like the chance of winning a cool £1,000.00, click here for details, or call me on 01279 843050.

Its amazing how quickly children grow. When I first photgraphed these two gorgeous children, Benjamin on the left was two and Eleanor on the right was about six months old. Two years later they were back in my studio. How time flies!

Really looking forward to tomorrow. I’ve got a client coming in for a pregnancy portrait shoot… with a contemporary twist!

Finally, I thought I would post up another shot from the newborn shoot I did recently. Hope you like it.

Had a great shoot today.

In my 24th October blog, I featured a pregnancy portrait photograph of Dwayne & Katie. Today they were back in my studio with their new addition to their family – the absolutely gorgeous Lily Mae, who arrived in the world about a week ago.

She was a little restless when we first started, but after she had a feed and a nappy change, she settled down and we were able to get some lovely shots. Here are a few from the sitting.
