A couple of weeks ago I met up with Sarar and Naysam for their pre-wedding shoot in Richmond Park, Surrey.

I love Richmond, especially in the sunshine! we made the most of the late afternoon sunshine and wandered around the park, chatted about their wedding over tea and cake!
I'm really looking forward to their wedding in May.

Here are a few of my favourites.

I'm excited to announce the arrival of my new birth announcement cards.

The double sided cards are personalised using photographs that I take at your baby's portrait session. You can choose the photographs that you want to use, your preferred design from my selection and of course add the baby details that everyone wants to know. These new cards not only look fantastic but also make a great keepsake for friends and family.

Here are a couple of the card designs from my selection....

To book your newborn's portrait session and for more information about the announcement cards please call Claire on 0845 0711178 or claire@level11.co.uk 

What better way to announce the arrival of your baby??!

I've got an apology to make...I've not been updating this blog as much as I know I should. Things have been so busy lately that I've been concentrating on client shoots and our facebook page.
If you are waiting for your gallery password or pricing information from me please bear with me, I'm running a week behind schedule but working hard to catch up so I promise I'll be in touch soon, very soon!

If you want more information on booking your portrait session, or maybe your wedding photography, please contact Claire on 0845 0711178 or claire@level11.co.uk
The next available weekend session is March 20th...one space available. After that the 2nd April is available.

Cheers

Last week I photographed little baby Layla...who was 10 days old at the first session but I went back to see her for another session when she was 16 days old. Even in those 6 days Layla was so much more alert and awake.
When I photograph newborn babies I like to photograph them in their first 7 days - the earlier the better. I like to photograph them asleep. Layla's mummy was great, she just left me to it and let me move Layla into the positions I wanted her in. I love it when parents trust me like this, being a mummy myself I know how to handle new baby's...plus I have been photographing Michelle's family for over 6 years now so she trusts me completely. I love photographing newborns - they're so scrummy!!

Here are a few favourites.

Big brother...cheeky chappie!

Big, big sister....I love photographing this little family so much, always a joy!

A couple of weeks ago I photographed gorgeous little Leo, 6months old.

Here are a few favourite shots from his session.

Leo with his mummy...celebrating Yummy Mummy week.

Last week I photographed my lovely friend of 30 years who is (at the time of shooting) 36 weeks pregnant with her first baby.

I love photographing baby bumps. It is such a beautiful and special time in a woman's life, one which I think it's so important to record. An incredible experience.
I find it's best to photograph baby bumps at 34-36 weeks pregnant as this is when you can (usually) move around easily>

For mor einformation on having your baby bump session or even your newborn baby portrait session please contact Claire, claire@level11.co.uk or 0845 07 111 78

I'm so looking forward to the arrival of Baby H, taking the newborn photographs and of course watching him/her grow...
