Winter 2017 / 2018

28/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Another wonderful winter has been and gone - here's December 2017 to February 2018 in the forest - it's been fluffy coats, hats, scarves and lots of love! I've met lots of lovely new clients, and seen plenty of regular clients, seen bumps grow and had fun meeting new additions to the family. Thank you so much everyone, I've had a great time throughout these cooler months, you've all been amazing. Many thanks also to those who have allowed their session to be featured here on the blog! 

​Spring is now on its way and I'm looking forward bluebells, yellow rapeseed and whatever else Mother Nature has to offer this spring, followed by summer sessions, including lavender :) (hoping for poppies this year too, but we'll have to see!)

​There are also beautiful gowns now available for the girls for the coming seasons, to make your session extra special.

​Newborn sessions will be starting again mid April, and running all the way through spring/summer up until mid September, so now is the time to book if you are due your sweet new baby during this time.


Get your session booked now for Spring/Summer 2018...

The Hayes Family
Extended Family Session

This was my 3rd time meeting this beautiful family, but my first time meeting newest addition, sweet baby Barkley! His big brother Parker (always a joy!), and lovely parents Michelle and Matt, were also joined by loving grandparents Lynda and Arbi, and cousin Robyn.

​We had a fantastic session on a gorgeous, bright, February morning in the forest. It was a cool day but the children were wonderful, running about and having lots of fun. It was so nice to see you all again!

Rashmi & Updeep
​Maternity

Congratulations to this beautiful couple, who are expecting their first baby this March! We had a lovely session in the woods on a mild January morning, and Rashmi looked absolutely glowing as she braved the winter air to wear her own gorgeous gown, followed by my maternity gown. I had a lovely time working with you both and wishing you all the best for Baby's upcoming arrival!

Emma and her Mathilda
Mummy & Me Mini-Session

It was my fourth time meeting with this lovely Mother-and-Daughter Duo, we had such a lovely time as usual, and it is so nice seeing sweet Mathilda grow into such a wonderful little girl! Now 3, our first session was when Mathilda was just turning one. Our session day was a rainy one, and one of those days where I was rescheduling clients here, there and everywhere. These guys however, being outdoorsy as they are, decided a bit of rain wasn't going to stop them having a fantastic shoot. How right they were! Thanks for coming out to see me again, I look forward to our next adventure :)

The Khaira Family
Maternity

Absolutely loved seeing this wonderful family again, Zahra and Gursharn and Big Brother Jayden are expecting baby number 2 early in 2018, very exciting! We had a lovely bright Winter's day for our session, and Zahra was a total superstar braving the cold temperatures for the maternity gown shot - doesn't she look amazing! I can't wait to meet baby next year :)

Nicky, Paul & Ethan

It was my third time working with this lovely family; Mum and Dad Nicky & Paul and their sweet little man Ethan, who was just about to turn 2 at our session! Previously I had met with Ethan for his newborn session, then again not long after his 1st birthday - he is such a joy to be around and it's so nice to see him growing up into such a happy, friendly boy. We had a gorgeous Autumn family & child session in the woods, with a few birthday and Christmas photos to boot!

I hope you had a lovely time celebrating Ethan's 2nd birthday, it was a pleasure to see you all again!

The Kotturi Family
​Maternity

I had a wonderful mid-October session with this lovely family, to capture their maternity portraits. Mum Lakshmi was looking absolutely radiant at 34 weeks pregnant! This session is particularly unique as it was shot during the Red Sun of hurricane Ophelia, which cast Saharan dust into the UK skies on the afternoon of 16th October.
Wishing you a healthy and happy remainder of your pregnancy and all the best for Baby's arrival!
