How gloriously beautiful is this precious newborn baby girl. The most serene little baby, photographed at nearly two weeks new at her home in Belsize Park London.
This was a wonderful newborn session at her home with her amazing mummy. It can sometimes take a while to achieve these shots. This little one was suffering from reflux but with plenty of patience, soothing and lots of cuddles she eventually settled into this peaceful sleep.
I loved getting to know her mummy during this photoshoot and I am looking forward to returning in the Spring for her next photoshoot. Capturing precious moments throughout the first year is one of the greatest joys of my job. Putting together a perfect year book especially for mummy & daddy to treasure.
These photoshoots always takes me back to the precious first year with my children. Especially my first born. That incredible first year when you are both learning and changing. Your baby and you as a mother.
My daughter is 7 years old now and my son will be 3 in November. What a journey it has been, we have come so far as a family. It’s a privilege to be their mother and I’m incredibly proud of them and of my husband.
As Autumn sets in I’m looking forward to all of the festivities. I love the changing seasons and at the moment the vivid red and orange Autumn colours.
We had the start of Autumn celebrations with the fabulous CroftFest this weekend. I took a stroll up there from our home in Brockley yesterday to see all the wonderful local stalls and listen to some great local bands.
My fantastically talented sister Nancy Ellis of Heavens to Betsy had her Autumn stall there and braved the chillier weather all day long. I love her illustrations of children and local landmarks. She is incredibly talented and spends time working with families to create beautiful pieces of bespoke artwork. I’ve loved watching her business grow.
I’m very grateful to have my family close by especially in London. As busy Mums both with our own business’s we help each other as much as we can. It’s incredibly important to have a support network in place. Mums are superhero’s but we all need a little help every now and then!
This month has been wonderful. I’ve been busy photographing pregnancy, newborn, baby and family portraits all over London and I can’t wait to share the results.

I’m excited to share a few of my favourite shots from this gorgeous First Year Baby Photography, London session.
Your child turning one is the ultimate milestone when you are a parent. The end of that all important first year when you have been through so many changes as a family. From pregnancy to newborn to 6 months to the wonderful first steps and celebratory first birthday. It is the most incredible journey of your life. Learning how to look after and nurture this precious small person who has entered your world.
I was lucky enough to share this journey with this amazing family. From photographing their pregnancy portraits to capturing this little girl at just two weeks old and then again at 6months old and finally returning to capture her first birthday celebration! I have loved getting to know them all and creating this beautiful lasting memory of their first year.
This selection of shots from their first year photoshoot capture the pure joy and energy of their little one. she absolutely loved playing with my string of beads and looked adorable in my gorgeous layered tutu.
I shall be putting together a look book from their first year so that you can see the journey. At the moment as I am busy in-between photoshoots this week I’ll just share this lovely sneak peak.
I am passionate about creating classic, timeless and elegant family portraits. I love to freeze the beauty and innocence of childhood in portraits that will stand the test of time.
Going to my clients homes to photograph their children provides the perfect safe and informal setting for their photoshoot. I encourage children to play and relax so that I can capture their natural expressions. It’s a fun and wonderful experience for all the family. Each session is completely unique and I like to take my time to get to know my families so that their portraits reflect their personalities.
The last few weeks have been super busy and I have many lovely photoshoots to share with you all! I’ll be adding more to my blog when I have time over the next few weeks.
Thank you for looking,

Pregnancy & Newborn Photographer Crouch End. I love my mother-to-be sessions. Capturing the amazing Bump to Baby journey is an incredibly joyous and humbling experience. I am always completely amazed at all the wonderful Mums and Dads I get to meet. To be a small part of that time in their lives and to create a lasting memory for them to look back on in years to come is indeed a privilege and a wonderful job!
Becoming a mother for the first time is overwhelming and glorious. The feelings and emotions I experienced took me completely by surprise. I don’t think anything can prepare you for that. The level of love and the bond you have with your new baby and all the responsibilities that go hand in hand with that. There is no other roller coaster like it.
I’m really pleased with how these pictures capture some of that journey.
Working as a pregnancy and newborn photographer and capturing this special time at my Client’s homes across London, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire is such a pleasure.
I’ve had a busy Summer with lots of gorgeous newborn, pregnancy, baby and family photoshoots. I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to continue to work with so many wonderful people. Each session is truly unique and I try to capture exactly what my Client would like. Beautiful, timeless and classic portraits of their family and new arrivals.
I think it is important to also mention that I only book one session per day. There are no two sessions the same and children aren’t always ready for their pictures! I will happily fit into nap schedules and also make suggestions for timings based on my experience. Ultimately though I will follow the lead of the parents who know their baby better than anyone else.
As I only book one session per day it allows for as much time as is needed to capture all the pictures the family would like. I am more than happy to help settle the baby into position and wait whilst feeding and soothing takes place. It is very much a part of the experience of a private photoshoot in your home.

Two wonderful sessions welcoming this little beauty into the world.
The first before she was born to photograph her mummy looking absolutely radiant at 36 weeks pregnant!
We had such a fun afternoon working through a series of beautiful shots. I love getting to know my Clients during their pregnancy photography session. We spend a lot of time chatting and working different shots that they would like.
It is a great icebreaker and when I return for the newborn photoshoot everyone feels naturally relaxed in front of the camera.
The pictures I’ve included from this session are a series of sleepy newborn poses on my beautiful white backdrop. I love how fresh, natural and tranquil these shots look. I’ve finished the set with one of my classic black and white baby pictures.
My Client’s always comment on how patient I am during their session. I think it comes as part of the role of being a newborn photographer. I am more than happy to take my time during a session. Having your session at home also helps to keep everything relaxed and informal. Newborns are unpredictable and as a mother and baby photographer I completely understand that. I only book one session per day to allow for all the extra time needed. This includes time for changing, feeding and soothing the new baby. I am experienced and will work around you and your baby on the day to make sure you get the most out of your session. I will also provide guidance for including older siblings and other members of the family. My sessions can last anything from 2 – 4 hours (sometimes even 5 hours especially with twins or triplets). It just depends how the baby is that day and what shots you want to achieve. I enjoy my work and getting to know my Clients. Taking the time needed to create the perfect shot is part of the experience of having a professional photoshoot in your home.
With the Summer holidays and lots of wonderful babies to photograph there has been very little time to update my blog.
I hope you enjoy this little sneak peak at some of my recent work. I will be adding more soon.
Have a lovely weekend

I received the sweetest phone call to book this session. My Client was extremely close to her due date and was hoping I could capture her pregnancy and newborn portraits.
This was one of those magical sessions, squeezed in literally just a couple of days before baby arrived! It was so wonderful to be a part of this truly exciting time and to return just over a week after our pregnancy session to photograph their newborn baby.
Such a treat and so many wonderful pictures of this gorgeous family.
This beautiful mummy to be particularly liked my black and white style of pregnancy photography. We worked on some beautiful elegant pregnancy portraits using some of my silks during her photoshoot at her home in Primrose Hill. I’m really pleased with the results and can’t believe how close these were taken to her due date! She looks absolutely stunning.
Although I recommend booking as far in advance as possible (after your 20 week scan). it is always worth checking for last minute spaces. There is so much to plan and think of when you are having a baby and it isn’t always possible to be super organised with everything! If I can fit you into my schedule I will be more than happy to do so. Having a memory of this special time is so important and definitely something to treasure.
After our lovely pregnancy session I couldn’t wait to return and meet their new arrival. Our newborn session again took place at their home in Primrose Hill, North London. I bring everything that is needed for a newborn photoshoot including baby hats and baby props to the home. Allowing new parents to completely relax and enjoy their private photoshoot.
This is a small selection from our photoshoot but I am sure I will be adding more to my facebook and instagram pages.
