In my last blog I mentioned that my editing pile was getting bigger and bigger and, two weeks on, this hasn’t changed! May has been an incredibly busy month for me, which is great, but I’m also starting to realise that it’s hard running your own business - trying to juggle half term at the same time. And then…

The last few weeks have been filled with so many shoots that my editing pile is getting bigger and bigger - and I should probably lock myself up in a dark room and get to it, but I really wanted to write a blog post about my mini sessions first…

I’m still buzzing from this recent at home documentary newborn session in Watford! I’m so grateful that Abby and Laura trusted me as their newborn photographer and welcomed me into their home in Watford to document the early days as a brand new family of three…

When people contact me for a family photo session it’s often to celebrate a birthday, the arrival of a baby brother or sister, a pregnancy, or some other joyous family milestone that’s worth documenting. But sometimes, just every now and then, the reason for a family shoot isn’t a totally happy one…

The newborn photoshoots I do for friends always feel extra special. Back in August (when it was still sunny and hot here in the UK) I spent the morning with the lovely Sara, Rob, Zane and Logan who live in Bramfield, a small village near St Albans, in Hertfordshire.
