Spent this morning doing a pregnancy portrait sitting. Leah and her partner came up from London for the shoot.  As you can see from the above photo, Leah looks absolutely fabulous with her gorgeous bump.

Well, I’ve come to the end of a very busy week – and I’m exhausted!

Yesterday, I did a great pregnancy shoot. Amy is a past client of mine and she asked me to capture a very special moment in her life. I am really pleased with the shots we produced together. Here are a couple of the setups we did. I think she looks absolutely stunning. I’m keeping the other shots under wraps – as I want to use them for some up-coming awards. More about those in the weeks to come…

Special thanks to Amy’s partner Kieron, who gave Amy lots of support and helped me out during the shoot!

One of the great things about my job is that I’m here to record important milestones in peoples lives. This week has been no exception.

The first photograph above shows Katie and her partner Dwayne. I’ve known Katie and her family for many years now. Indeed, the first portrait I took of her was in my amateur photography days when Katie was only 4 years old. 15 years later, she’s all grown up and counting down the days when she’s going to become a mum. This photograph was taken to celebrate that.  Her baby is due very soon and their next sitting is booked for a few weeks time to photograph the new addition to their family.

The second photograph shows the beautiful Alexa. Alexa’s mum and dad – Mark and Clare have previously visited me when I photographed their first child Sebastien. It was great to see them again and here’s one of the photographs taken at the sitting.
