Southwold Summer Photoshoots

In August I will be heading to Southwold in Suffolk for our annual summer holiday…..

Last year I had the pleasure of photographing some lovely families while I was there and would love to do the same again this year!

I’ve spent my summer holidays in Southwold for the last 30 years and it’s one of my favourite places to photograph…the colourful beach huts, rustic harbour and pastel painted cottages make the perfect backdrop for a fun family photo shoot. We can go for a walk along the beach, skim stones, eat ice creams, play in the sandy dunes or head down to the harbour!…..

I’ll be there the first 2 weeks in August (2nd-14th) if you’re holidaying at the same time and would like to have some natural family photographs taken please get in touch for more details.

Chelsea Maternity Shoot with Jojo Maman Bébé

The sun was shining, the blossom was in full bloom….a perfect day for an outdoor maternity shoot in Chelsea! I’ve had the idea of doing a shoot in Chelsea for a while now and when a collaboration for a street style shoot with JoJo Maman Bébé came up it was the perfect location! Emily was the model for the day, we worked together previously in Beauty & Fashion PR and she now writes for her blog blogmebeautiful. It was great to meet up and work together again, I scouted locations while Emily selected some gorgeous outfits from the JoJo Maman Bébé Spring/Summer 2015 collection, we had a fun afternoon catching up and creating some gorgeous natural maternity images….

A Pretty Maternity Shoot in Richmond Park

I love finding new places to shoot so when Neringa suggested the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park as the location for her maternity shoot I was excited to go and explore! It’s so beautiful there, as soon as we walked through the gates we were surrounded by gorgeous flowers in purples and pinks…..the perfect backdrop for a maternity shoot! We spent a lovely sunny morning walking through the flower lined paths and taking some lovely natural shots along the way.

Looking forward to seeing Neringa and Ronald again soon for their next shoot with the new arrival!

Jacob George, 11 days new

Meet my new little friend Jacob George!

I’ve been so excited about doing this shoot ever since my friend’s Jo and Mark announced they were pregnant and I knew I would get to photograph their new arrival! You may recognise Jo from her recent maternity shoot which you can see here and Mark designed my website for me! It was so lovely seeing them settling into parenthood and finding their way through it together, they make such a great team! Jacob is a real cutie and was very chilled out for his photo shoot, he was loving all the kisses and cuddles with his mum and dad….and a few with Aunty Laura too!!

A Mother & Daughter shoot in Sussex

I spent a lovely morning with Kate and her little one Tilly at their home in Lindfield, Sussex for a Mother & Daughter shoot. We played some of Tilly’s favourite games; she made us delicious pretend cakes at her tea party, played ring a ring a roses and she drew a lovely picture of me on her blackboard!…oh, and she renamed me ‘Nora’!!!!

Fine Art Prints

It was my friend’s baby shower at the weekend and as a gift I printed some of the images from her recent maternity shoot, they came beautifully packaged and I was really impressed with the quality, I was so pleased with them that I’ve decided to offer them as part of my product range. The Fine Art Prints are 7×5 inches and come in a set of 6, printed to the very best quality on beautiful fine art paper chosen to last a lifetime, carefully hand wrapped and presented in a made-to-measure kraft presentation box. If you have a shoot booked or have previously had a shoot with me and would like some gorgeous fine art prints these are available to you so please get in touch!

Maternity Shoot in London Chelsea

This week I photographed a collaboration maternity shoot in London Chelsea with JoJo Maman Bébé and lovely Emily from www.blog-me-beautiful.com. The images are under wraps for now but I can share with you a few shots of Emily in her ‘model’s own’ outfit taken at the end of the shoot. We found a quiet little mews just off the King’s Road, it was lined with gorgeous white town houses and a white brick wall which made the perfect backdrop. Emily looks so amazing pregnant, love her maternity style!….. it’s not surprising that passers-by kept stopping to say how gorgeous she looked!
