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
Today I had a lovely morning shoot in Raphael's Park. I have been photographing Max & Emily since Emily was just a little baby, and it is always lovely to see them, and see how they have grown and progressed. Emily is quite the poser now, she absolutely loves the camera and we had a hard job convincing her that this was actually Max's session! Max is at the stage where he knows exactly what he wants, and being photographed is not one of those things. His eyes are a lovely shade of green and look very striking , as do Emily's baby blues, just gorgeous. We had some lovely light too, so a good morning all in all.

What a gorgeous sunny weekend we have had! I had a fabulous wedding on Saturday which I will be blogging in the next few days on my wedding site www.loveasart.co.uk so please pop in and have a look.

Today, I had the pleasure of seeing Josh for his third and final Beginnings session. We went to Raphael's Park for a leisurely walk. Josh had fun looking at all the squirrels, eating his buiscits and throwing leaves about . We finished up just as it started raining, so it was all good! And here  is a sneak preview of the handosme litte man - I just love those autumn colors!

We had a beautiful afternoon today, perfect for an outdoor session. Which was handy, since I had a shoot at Hylands with the lovely Jack. This is Jack's last beginnings session and he has been a sweetheart through all of them. He is a big boy now, running around, yet to me his newborn session seems like yesterday - time flies so fast!

Today's shoot was all the way in Hylands Park in Chelmsford. The beautiful weather from yesterday all but disappeared unfortunately. And on top of the chilly morning we had really strong winds too! Still, nothing fazed Emily & Abigail who happily bimbled around, threw some leaves about and had their piccies taken. The are both so sweet and happy, I love the black and white shown below especially!

My second session today was with one of my favorite girls - Jasmine, and this is the 4th time I have photographed her. She came along with mummy and daddy and we popped down to Raphael's Park. Jasmine is not only gorgeous, but also has a really lovely sunny personality. She chats quite a bit and she really makes everyone laugh, especially when she looks at you and says "awwwwwight?" with a big grin....butter wouldn't melt. Sadly, thsi is her last Beginnings session. Fortunately, mummy is expecting a new addition around Christmas time so hopefully I will be seeing the family for some time yet!
