Oscar

This beautiful baby boy is close to my heart, Oscar is the son of my dear friend Chrissie. Born in March, it was a little early in the year for a full newborn session, but we popped out for a couple of quick snaps. Oscar was a little star and slept all the way through! Many congratulations to parents Chrissie & Liam, and big sister Amelia. He is perfect!

Here's June to early September 2017 - excluding Lavender, which has been blogged as a separate post; Lovely Lavender 2017

This summer we were treated to a gorgeous show of buttercups, a scattering of wild poppies, and some lovely purple and yellow wildflowers.

The start of Autumn is now here and we're looking forward to all the vibrant yellows, oranges and reds, followed by the beautiful rich brown hues of Winter, hurray!

Thank you to all of my fantastic Summer clients! Here's some highlights...
