Here are some photos from a session with our great friends Helen and Jason and their two beautiful children. This is Helen’s (long overdue) birthday present from me, so Happy Birthday Helen!

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.
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!
I had a really nice session on Monday with Rebecca and her family. Baby E was such a natural with the camera and seemed to enjoy the whole experience with all those kisses and cuddles with mummy and daddy. The large window in the bedroom provided a beautiful soft light which was perfect to show off E’s beautiful features and babyness.
Here are a few shots from yesterday morning when I met Emma and beautiful baby L. She’s got to be the smiliest 3 months old I ever met, she actually started giggling as I was taking pictures, I just couldn’t believe it!
I was so spoilt this morning as I got to photograph two truly beautiful children and their lovely mum Aibilin. Mum and kids all have the same hair colour, so photogenic! Aibilin was after some photos of the three of them to put up in their new house but I could resist taking a few extra ones of the children on their own and 7 year old N. loved posing for me with her amazing wavy hair and beautiful smile.
I had a hard time narrowing down my favourites so here is a whole bunch for you:
The bump to baby session are often booked by first time parents but it’s always really nice when there are older siblings involved too! Here are some photos from last week’s fun session with Ruth from Mishmash Music and her family as they are expecting their second child. What a treat to photograph Bump and his big brother’s big bright eyes! The skylight in the colourful family room provided some lovely light for a really natural look.
Neil got a gift voucher for two photo sessions as a Christmas present to his lovely wife Cheryl. We did the first session this morning, P. was all smiles and loved posing for the camera, until she got fed up, cried for about two seconds and fell fast asleep in her mummy’s arms, what a doll! I can’t wait to photograph her again around her first birthday…
I had the pleasure of photographing Claire and Tony’s boys this month. The plan had been to take a few photos outside but it was very cold and full of snow so we opted to stay inside, and got the boys in their nappies! They were quite excited to be allowed to play on their parents beds and we had a lovely time seeing K. giggle as he was poking his belly button. I love those simple moments, pure joy!
I just love doing the bump to baby sessions, especially with first time parents as they go through such a life changing experience. Fouzan and Vijaya are a really lovely couple and having met them for the pregnancy shots in October I was really looking forward to finally meet baby A in January! He really made my heart melt with his big brown eyes and I was so pleased to be able to capture some of his very first smiles. Here are a few photos I love from both shoots.
