I didn’t have to go very far for this morning’s session as Rachel lives just around the corner from me here in St Albans. I had the the pleasure of photographing her lovely 10 months old daughter S – she was feeling quite shy but I love the photos below, giving her mummy cuddles and showing off her beautiful eyes.

I love it when everything comes together for a good shoot. Last Saturday the weather was just right: nice and warm but not too hot with just enough clouds to gently cover the bright sunshine. This together with an overgrown garden as Clare and Leo were in the middle of moving into their new house were a great set up for some fun family shots. The children (cool big brother J and super cute little sister R) were excited to run around in the garden, look for frogs in the pond, play with mum and dad and generally be happy!
I had such trouble narrowing down my favourites that I thought I would include them all, it’s my blog so why not!
When Helen opened her front door we both knew we had met before, and it’s not really surprising as there is rarely more than 1 or 2 degrees of separation between St Albans mums and our boys are the same age. After a minute we both remembered where we met: fighting over the same scooter while volunteering at last year’s NCT sale, oops!
We had a really lovely session first at home and then we walked over to the nearby nunnery (with the family cat in tow!) 2.5 year old G was in a playful mood and led us through a little adventure in the woods. The portrait session is a present for Father’s Day next week so if you know G’s dad don’t spoil the surprise!
Here are a few photos from last week’s session with cute baby L and his lovely mummy Sonia. He was such a big boy at just 5 weeks old holding his head up, I just loved his dark hair, dark eyes and pouting lips!
