Pleeeeease stop raining!  I have had to reschedule so much work!  Luckily, we managed to bank this shoot although fighting all the way with the light.  These two gorgeous little ones were totally adorable.  She had the most wonderful curly hair, falling into ringlets around her face and his chocolate brown eyes must melt his mummy’s heart every time he looks at her.  This shoot is a big secret for a certain someone special.  So why blog it?  Because mummy can’t wait to see a sneak peak - and who can blame her

How does it happen?  One minute they’re a cute little bundle that fits nicely in the crook of your arm and then in a blink of an eye they turn into a beautiful young woman ready to face what life has to offer. This gorgeous young lady, her dad and brother all came to see me to mark this milestone. It takes just an hour or so of your time but these are the moments when you look back on your life that will mean everything…

The last time I was asked to photograph this lovely family was when their beautiful little girl was only a few months old.  I love being invited back to photograph families for the second and often third time - just seeing how the children have grown in between is just amazing. Their features often change but the one thing I remembered so well about this little girl  was her huge brown eyes, which  have definitely stayed the same. Such a poppet and definitely in charge of her two older brothers, who adore her…

Their cousins were also at the house and although one was a little camera shy, this little one loved the limelight…

The phone is ringing and the email enquiries coming thick and fast.  Trying to squeeze everyone in before Christmas is proving difficult with this awful weather. However, someone was looking down on me this afternoon and held the rain off for just long enough to capture this cute little girl and her lovely parents.  Mum said that her daughter loved trees, so off we went to find the brightest autumn tree and leaves we could find - not easy when most of the leaves have been blown off in the rain and squished into the mud.  She was an absolute poppet and fell fast asleep in her daddy’s arms the minute I took the last shot.  I had to include the picture of her tiny little hand, just because you forget so quickly how small they are at that age - it’s those little details that get lost in time so easily…
