A lively photo session
Earlier in the summer I had a great time photographing this family. The best thing about photographing families with siblings is that all the attention is not on one child all the time. If one child takes a little longer to warm up or needs a break you can switch your...
A vintage newborn session
A couple of weeks ago I was honoured to photograph the new daughter of the owner of Campbell Crafts. Lindsay and I are ex-colleagues and I’ve done many photo shoots for her company, including this one of her fabulous maternity dresses. It’s always especially wonderful...
Newborn home photo session
It’s been a very busy but fun summer so far, squeezing in lots of photo shoots between lots of holidays. I’m finally home again now so catching up on everything. These are from a newborn photo shoot I did back in May. I can’t believe it was that long ago! This was a...
A happy one year old
This is one of my favourite little guys to photograph. Our first session together was just before Christmas and he was so smiley and happy, while rocking his fabulous Christmas jumper. Last week I was invited to his house just after he turned one to photograph him...
Photographing a nervous dog
My most recent pet shoot was a complete contrast to the last one. This was a lovely old dog who was very, very nervous of my photographic equipment. We planned to do a studio style shoot in her house but she didn’t like the look of my backdrop or lights. We took her...

Over the next month or so I'm going to be working with La La Beads to photograph their new range. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to combine my family and fashion/product photography. For one of the shoots we are looking for mums and babies. Message from La...
Another sunny family photo shoot at The Rookery, Streatham Common
Almost two years to the day after our first shoot, I found myself back at The Rookery on Streatham Common with one of my favourite families for another gloriously sunny day. This family is such a pleasure to photograph. The parents are easy going; the kids are...
Easier photo sessions with an older newborn
I recently had the easiest newborn session I have ever had. The baby was about ten weeks old, so a bit older than my usual newborns. This makes a massive difference to how relaxed the baby and parents are. It also means that the baby is more alert, can smile, kick its...
Pet Photography
Everyone knows the old cliché about never working with children or animals. Since I spend so much time working with the former and enjoy it so much, I thought it was probably about time I had a go at working with the latter. I was quite nervous about doing my first...
A new baby sister
Last weekend I got to do another of my favourite types of shoots – the addition of a new sibling to a family. I enjoy them because there are so many different possibilities for combinations of people in the images and for interaction. As an only child I am especially...
