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.

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!

Ahh many congratulations to Tasha on the arrival of beautiful baby Robyn, isn't she gorgeous! Robyn was 3 months new for our session and absolutely adorable! We had a mild January day and Robyn was quite content in the woods, gazing all around her and having lovely snuggles with Mummy. We took a few breastfeeding photos to be treasured too. Just gorgeous you guys!

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 :)

The Miller Family
The first frosty morning of the year, we had a beautiful bright and chilly morning for our session. This was my third time working with this wonderful family; Mum & Dad Caroline & Steven, with Benjamin, Charlotte & Mathilda. It is so lovely to see the children growing up, and for the first time Ben is now taller than his Mum!

Benjamin, Charlotte & Mathilda - Christmas 2015 to Christmas 2017
I often hear people saying that it's just not that pretty outside this time of year, not great for photos, let's wait until spring. It seems a shame to me, as winter is one of my favourite times of the year to shoot in.
Here's 10 reasons to take your Family Portrait Session in Winter...
Here's 10 reasons to take your Family Portrait Session in Winter...
1. The Glorious Colours
Ooooh the colours. They are utterly beautiful - it's the one time of the year when, in the absence of green foliage, nature is full of rich, chocolatey hues. As an added bonus, there's no tricky colour casts from surrounding greens, resulting in wonderful, natural skin tones that don't require extensive fixing in post-processing.

As an added bonus, there's no tricky colour casts from surrounding greens, resulting in wonderful, natural skin tones that don't require extensive fixing in post-processing.
2. The Quality of Light
With the winter sun low in the sky during the entire day, this makes for gorgeous, soft, even light all the way from dawn 'till dusk. This is a lot different to the warmer months when we are only able to shoot sessions during the golden hour, and gives us a lot more flexibility as to the time of day that we take your session.
3. Wrapping up warm
I just love the look of scarves, hats, coats & boots, and little ones' look adorable in their winter clothes!
4. It's Adventurous & Unique
Outdoor sessions always have a uniqueness to them any time of year, but with many others waiting for spring, summer & autumn, your winter portraits will have an entirely different look all of their own. I find that many of my winter clients have a real love of the great outdoors, and adventurous spirits.
5. There's less people about
With so many people choosing to stay home, there's much more quiet, empty space in the countryside in winter than in the warmer months.
6. It's often not as cold as you might imagine.
For numerous winter sessions I find myself taking off my coat because I'm too hot. Children are naturally very good at keeping warm because they are so active and don't seem to feel the cold as much as us grownups. Lots of stylish layers and winter accessories is suitable for most sessions in the cooler months. If you're prone to cold hands like me, just pop a couple of hand warmers in your pockets.

7. But when it does get really cold, there's frost & snow!
Even just a little snow on the ground looks magical, and of course, if there's no falling snow at the time of our session, it can always be added in post processing.
8. It's invigorating.
Fresh, cool air, maybe a bit of atmospheric mist about, just perfect for an energising family trip to the woods.

9. There's no Mosquitos
If bugs find you tasty you'll know this is a winner!
And last but not least...
10. Dogs Look Super Cute with Snowy Noses!
Let's show winter some love ♡
