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.

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 […]

If you follow our Facebook page and have seen our Website galleries, you would have seen images of the ‘Cake Smash‘ photo shoots we do for baby’s first birthday. But unless you have been in the Studio whilst one is taking place you have no idea what really goes on behind the scenes to get […]
Q: What do you get if you mix pizza dough, cooked spaghetti and a box of flour with a set of 2 year old twins and a camera? A: A huge amount of mess and lots of fun! This week saw the debut of our ‘Little Chef’ experience. Run alongside the ‘Cake Smash’ for our […]
I mowed the lawn last week and started thinking about what to grow in the vegetable patch, only to see it covered with icy dew once again.
