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 am based in in Hampshire, a lovely country location, about an hour from most parts of London. 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
It was a freezing but lovely day today. My last location shoot for this year with the very pretty Scarlett. We started slow, and the session got better as we went on. I love love love the series of the 3 images....they make me think of quote by Elizabeth Lawrence -

"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again"

Today I had a fun session with 2 lovely little boys, Jacob & Ollie. I met them with mummy and daddy at Thorndon Country Park. We had good weather , nice and overcast and it was lovely to have walk in the park. Jacob is a fab little poser and couldn't get enough of the camera. Ollie wasn't too convinced, but once I started a bizarre ritual which involved using my lens cap to pretend it's an airplane crashing into my head , he decided I was actually quite amusing. Or probably mad. Nevertheless we got some lovely images, so the morning was a success!

This morning I did a split shoot with Oliver & Mia. Last time I saw Mia was over 3 years ago, she was just a little baby.  She has grown into a lovely little girl, who definitely knows what she wants! Oliver was great to too, nice and relaxed and excellent at making Mia laugh. We started in the studio, and is was a lovely day, decided to move to the park.  Here are a couple of piccies!

I was worried this morning - it was a rainy, dreary day, and I had Gracie booked in for her session! By the time we got to the park it was pouring but thankfully not for too long, so we chanced it and had a session in lightish ( is that a word?) rain. Still the light was lovely and Gracie was in good spirits. She looked adorable in her little red coat and was more than happy to have her picture taken. Especially if we sung "Wind the bobbin up" - Simon Cowell would NOT be impressed!

Thank you for humoring us and going out in the rain. These pictures are, as Simon Cowell would say, 'utter perfection'.

This morning I had my final session with Oliver, who has now grown into a handsome little man. We went to Raphael's Park, and although the morning was nippy, it was a lovely day - and great for photos - nice and overcast. Oliver had a good run around, played with sticks and leaves, chased dogs and squirrels, just the usual things boys do!

As usual the preview looks wonderful and can't wait to see the proofs of my little nephew and Co!
