Meet 5 week old Baby Elsie

I photographed Elsie's mummy & daddy's wedding day at Cooling Castle Barn almost one year to the day - it was their first anniversary the day after I went to their home to photograph her - so it was lovely to see them again with their new daughter!

At 5 weeks new, Elsie was a little older than most of the babies I photograph as I usually photorgaph newborn babies within the first 10 days.
Elsie took a while to settle but once she was asleep and settled I managed to get some beautiful shots of her.

More to follow....x

Meet Baby Jack, at just 4 days young he is my youngest newborn baby so far!

Jack was such a great little model, with regular milk top up's we managed to get him sound asleep and worked quickly, and quietly, to get the shots I wanted.

I am looking forward to capturing Jack's first year as part of my very special Tiny Moments baby package.
I love seeing 'my' Tiny Moments babies grow, they change so much within the first year and it's such an honour to be able to capture such a special time for parents.
Unfortunately the newborn phase is over all too quickly, although it sometimes doesn't feel like it, and it's such a lovely way to look back on and remember how tiny they were.

As a mummy myself, to a now 2 and a half year old little lady, I can appreciate even more now how important it is to record and capture your new baby's early days. I spent so much time (and still do) watching my little girl, whilst she slept, played, gurgled, explored, slept, yawned, smiled, crawled, climbed, walked, fell over, explored some more and most important and special of all, just watched me watching her! It's an amazing experience and one that I feel is so important to capture forever and look back on in years to come.

Here's a very sleepy Jack...

Meet Archie...he's 5 days in these pictures, and he's my great nephew!

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing 7day old baby Aaron.

I love photographing newborn babies, they're so scrummy!

A few weeks ago I went to visit Justine and Chris at their home to photograph their beautiful 4 day old baby girl, Matilda.

Matilda is taking part in my Tiny Moments package which is where I photorgaph your baby 5 times from newborn to their 1st birthday, including a maternity session for mummy to be.
After baby's first birthday I design a lovely book containing your favourite photographs throughout baby's first year.

Matilda seemed to like having her photograph taken, she was awake in between milk top-ups but fell alseep during her feeds....I love milk drunk babies, so easy to work with.

Here are a few of my favourites...
