Take a look at this beautiful little girl.  Such a cute little poppet who, despite near freezing temperatures, managed to give me some wonderful shots.

Being a lifestyle photographer in the UK is definitely challenging.  Not knowing what the weather is going to  do from one moment to the next it probably one of the hardest things to plan for.  However, when I do get a break and the autumn sunshine is on my side there is nothing better than kicking through the leaves with a couple of willing participants, even though we couldn’t feel our fingers by the end of it!

Okay, when the weather man says “scattered showers” you don’t expect to do a photoshoot in what I can only describe as a mini monsoon!  After hiding in the bushes with a blanket over our heads for a while, the only thing we could do was make a run for the nearest cafe and dry off.  However the double rainbow in the sky was shining down and we still managed to grab some great shots of this gorgeous little girl before we called it a day…

Yesterday I was asked to speak on Radio Sussex/Surrey and about photography and photographs that show emotion or remind us of a special moment in time.  I tried to convey that that when we show pictures to clients not all of them (in fact very few) are of them all smiling in to the camera.  I love to leave in shots where the emotion comes through, sometimes showing photographs where their little one is sucking his thumb or sticking out his tongue in a cheeky moment conveys something to the parents that words can’t describe and often they are the ones they end up picking.  These three images just pulled on my heart strings and I know the parents felt the same.

Meet the happiest baby on the planet and his very proud (and rightly so) parents. He was just like a little ray of sunshine!  I photographed mum and dad’s wedding a couple of years ago so it was so lovely to be asked to photograph their little baby boy. Hopefully this will be one of many shoots documenting his life in the years to come and I’m so pleased to be asked to be a part of it.

Such a sweet little man to photograph along with his gorgeous parents. I love these pictures, especially his tiny little hands reaching for the heart. I also totally covet  his mummy’s beautiful dress and that fact that she looks so stunning in it. Thank you both for a lovely afternoon and here’s your sneak peak…

Oh goodness, there I go again getting all broody….. longing for the days when my little girl wanted to wear cute dresses like this one and would let me put ribbons in her hair. That’s one of the joys of having a daughter isn’t it – dressing them up and cooing over cute clothes?  Now its just a case of handing over the credit card and knowing that whatever you think is gorgeous is instantly dismissed with a withering look that only a teenager can give. Hopefully these pictures of such a little poppet will bring back many memories in years to come.

Just looking at these family photographs makes me smile. This little girl and her mum and dad had great fun on Sunday morning chasing each other around the grounds at Borde Hill.  We started with  balloons but the joy of seeing them float off up into the sky was so exciting  to this little poppet that letting the strings go was far more fun than holding on.  Just a fab session with this family – relaxed and fun photography, just as it should be.

A beautiful sunny summer’s afternoon spent with friends and their gorgeous little boy.  Having not seen him for the best part of a year, it was amazing to see how much he had grown and what a happy little chap he had turned out to be with the most wonderful beaming smile.  He also had an amazing turn of speed for one so little so it was down with the primes and out with the zoom lens.  My reward was being able to capture the pictures below as well as my friends indulging my love of wine and chocolate.  In fact I’m thinking of offering to take part payment in chocolate from now on – it feels like it could be a good move
