So you’ve had the baby photos – what’s next?

The majority of my clients come to me for the first time either before their baby is born, or within the baby’s first year, and whilst our babies do grow so fast in these early days, it’s so important to keep recording their development as they move first into childhood, then into young adulthood. Later […]

Is your baby at risk?

This week I was accepted as a member of BANPAS, the Baby & Newborn Photography Association which supports baby and newborn photographers and is particularly concerned with promoting safe working practices (for the babies that is!) This something I have been meaning to do for ages but have only just got round to filling in […]

How to choose the right newborn photographer?

So you’ve seen the perfect baby poses on Pinterest, Instagram or Facebook, and want to re-enact the same poses with your newborn but Google brings up a selection of photographers claiming to be ‘specialist newborn photographers‘ in your local area. It’s a minefield. What next? How do you choose the right photographer? Realistically, you will […]

Who has the right?

It has come to my attention recently that a client has been reproducing our images without permission. I apologise in advance, but I am going to have a rare little rant. Please feel free to stop reading or hit delete, I won’t be offended! Our prices for digital images are very reasonably priced within the […]

The camera never lies…or does it?

I love photographing families. Not just young and beautiful ones, but large generational shoots, golden weddings, 80th birthday celebrations. I have clients from all walks of life visit me in my studio, who are all ages, shapes and sizes. In my eyes they are all beautiful ‘models’ because they are there with their loved ones, […]

Fathers Day- be prepared!

I wonder how many of your men planned your day well in advance to make sure you received the perfect personalised present, restaurant reservation […]

Wall Art versus Digital file?

It’s always a dilemma when my clients come into the studio for their viewing – do we go for a collection of digital files to keep and share, or a single image in a frame for the wall? Of course in an ideal world you could have both, but we all have a budget limitation […]

The Magic of Photoshop.

I started taking photographs professionally in 2002, mainly underwater, where I had 24 or 36 chances to get it right before I’d have to end my dive, dry me and my camera off and change the roll of film if I wanted to go again. In this digital age we not only have unlimited chances […]

The ‘Bump’ shoot- how far should you go?

When I was pregnant with my girls I proudly wore tight t-shirts emblazoned with slogans such as ‘mind the bump,’ but this isn’t everyone’s style! Do you wear your bump with pride or demurely shroud it in loose flowing fabrics? Whichever camp you are in, we tailor your ‘bump ‘ shoot to suit you. Our […]
