Bodhi Beginnings Session 1
March 31, 2010 // Beginnings Scheme / Newborns / natural light photography
My second session of the day was with Bodhi, a gorgeous newborn baby boy just 6 days old. Bodhi took a little while to settle down and get into a deep sleep but once we got him there we got a fantastic selection of newborn images. he did really well and did mummy and daddy proud.

Isabella Beginnings Session 1
March 31, 2010 // Beginnings Scheme / Newborns / natural light photography
This morning I met the lovely Isabella, who is nearly 7 weeks old. She traveled all the way from South Hampstead to have some newborn style pictures taken. However, as she is well past the squidgy newborn stage and a very active baby, the curled up newborn shots didn't quite work! Still, we still got some lovely images appropriate to her age group - I love the photo over daddy's shoulder. Here are a few favorites from the session.

Mabel newborn session
March 29, 2010 // Newborns / Sneak Previews / Studio / natural light photography
Today I photographed Mabel, a gorgeous little poppet, just 6 days old. Mable is the little sister of Delilah, one of my favorite models who had already completed her Beginnings scheme. As you all know newborn photography is most definitely my favorite subject, so I had a great time photographing the new addition. Mabel was very chilled out through the whole experience, and we have some gorgeous photos for mummy and daddy to choose from.

Leonie maternity session
March 27, 2010 // Pregnancy / Sneak Previews
This afternoon I had a really fun pregnancy session. Leonie came in with her mum and sister to get her bump photographed, but as both Leonie & Abigail are pregnant at the same time (how cool is that?) they also had some pictures together, and of course some with mum. Leonie was an amazing model, and the camera absolutely loved her. I love the picture of the girls together - don't they all look great ? Really looking forward to the newborn session!

Ethan Beginnings session 1
March 27, 2010 // Beginnings Scheme / Sneak Previews / Studio / natural light photography
After a busy week of doing some commercial work, album design, E sessions and lots of other things I was back in the studio today - and have another busy week next week!

This morning I had a session with the lovely Ethan with mummy and daddy. He did really well although he did make us work a little - Ethan did a great trick of smiling, then frowning as soon as the camera was on him! It's definitely not unusual, so mummy set about getting those smiles whilst I waited to catch those lovely moments. Here are a couple of favorites from the session -
