About Me Hi and welcome to my Blog!  Here I will post sneak previews of recent photo sessions, including newborn photos, baby photos, and some older childrens' photos. Some personal bits, my random musings and also keep you posted on what is happening in my world. I would really love it if you took the time to leave a comment if you see something you like. Please take your time and explore, there are pages and pages of previous sessions, which include photos of some gorgeous babies, and older children. And hopefully, we will meet soon...Much love, Maria
Well I am back! I had a lovely holiday, although I did do a little bit of work too, and already feel like I haven't been away...have a very busy 10 days ahead of me with 3 weddings, several portrait sessions, proofing, orders etc. + about 150 emails to reply to! I very much appreciate your patience , and if you have emailed whilst I am away you will definitely get  a response in the next 3-4 days at the latest. I will blog some holiday stuff when I get the chance...

My first session upon my return was the gorgeous Maria, a lovely newborn, just 3 weeks old. However, as her due date was today she is still a newborn size, and ever so lovely. Content all the way through the session, it was a great shoot to come back to - I really enjoyed it. Mummy & daddy, I hope you like these - thanks for your patience!

Anna (Maria's mummy):

These are incredible, and so beautiful. You've really captured our precious little girl, her personality and little expressions, esp the pink hat shot. I just love it. Thank you so much for these, I can't wait to see the rest! We all had such a good time in the session and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you.

I am now away on holiday and shooting a wedding until the 30/7 and back in the studio on the 31/7. Please note that if you are looking to book a session these will be booked on a first come first served basis. So, please do send me an email if you would like to book in and I will get in touch on my return. Please note August is now fully booked apart from 3 or 4 afternoon slots. Weekend wise, I have just had someone re-schedule their appointment and the afternoon of the 15/8 has become available. The next Saturday available after this is the 12th of September.

Hoping you all have a great couple of weeks...and bye for now!

Earlier today I had the pleasure of meeting another new addition to the beginnings scheme - the lovely Henry. Henry is just under 4 weeks old but still quite dinky, so we were able to get some lovely newborn shots. Lily is beautiful, and (with a little bribing!) she co-operated really well. This was my last shoot before I go away , so here is a nice big sneak preview....

My second session today was with Nico, another lovely little boy with huge eyes, and wonderful long eyelashes - I wish I had those! Nico brought mummy and also nanny and granddad along. I must say nanny was fantastic at getting those expressions going, and Nico once again was a pleasure to work with. here is another extra large sneak preview!

This morning I had a session with Jashan, mummy and daddy. Jashan was a really good baby , and had lovely smooth skin and big expressive eyes. He did not mind me pointing the camera at him at all, but then he is used to it - daddy is is an aspiring photographer and rather good at it too! As it will be some time before you can view the proofs due to my upcoming holiday, here is an extra large sneak preview. Hope you like it... red is definitely a great colour for Jashan!
