Love, love, love on 29th December 2014

I met with this lovely family at the end of December to capture some maternity shots. Emma was almost 36 weeks pregnant at the time.

We captured both studio and natural documentary images, They’ve been extremely hard to narrow down to share so here’s a just a few, I’m almost certain they’ll be more to come from this family…..

Studio imagery here, Emma is loved for sure

Studio imagery here, it’s clear for the world to see the love between these two

This session took place in the family home, meaning minimal upheaval for the new family as I come to you.

The newest addition

Over the Easter holidays I was lucky enough to fly over to Ireland and spend some time with my family. Upon my arrival I got to meet the newest addition to the family, Baby Scott, just 2 weeks old!

I knew from the second I booked our flights I wanted to capture beautiful Scott, unfortunately I couldn’t take my studio on the plane so these images were taken using natural light (always best) & for our backdrop Nanny held up a blanket. I can safely say I love the effect that has been created. A naturally lit perfect studio.

Happy 1st Birthday Freddie

Ahhh I loved the birth of Freddie so much, Lena experienced what I could only have dreamt of with my births. I didn’t even know home birth was an option. She did so amazingly well, giving birth completely naturally. By choosing a birthing pool at home, beautiful Freddie was born into a world surrounded by familiarity and love.

Lena had the support of her partner Stuart & her son Tommy in the birthing pool. Also present were Lena’s mum & sister, a true family affair.

Her midwife was local independent midwife, Virginia Howes.

Lena, every time I look back at the story of Freddie’s birth I smile, you were so amazing and truly inspirational.

I find it so hard to believe a year has passed, what a gorgeous little baby Freddie is! Happy very 1st Birthday Freddie! Enjoy your extra special day!

Quite possibly my favourite image, drinking in every inch of your precious newborn baby.

Happy 1st Birthday Oscar

On this day exactly one year ago I was on my own little journey of self discovery, I’ve loved documentary photography for as long as I can remember and anything relating to the family. Well on this day one year ago I found out where my heart lies…..

I was witnessing the incredible journey of Nic as she bought her first child into the world with the wonderful support of her partner Scott. Having 3 children of my own the magic of birth was not new to me but been able to be a bystander and capture the emotions that occur between 2 people whom love each dearly as they together bring their baby into the world was something entirely magical. I don’t think I personally realised how much the birthing partner goes through until this day, it’s intense, even more so if there are dramas, these two were utterly amazing!!

Capturing this magical night of firsts for Nic & Scott showed me my heart belongs in birth photography, and all that comes with it, combining my love of the family and documentary to tell the magical story of a baby’s birth day. Every baby born is an individual magical journey and I am privileged to be able to capture those. Times passes so quickly it’s easy to forget, these images help you to never forget the magical if slightly scary journey of your babies arrival and their amazing first moments.
