I love taking portraits and freezing moments in time, the beauty of black& white photography is creating an image which stands the test of time. The relaxed atmosphere of my nct group tea parties (www.nct.org.uk), allows everyone time to get together and enjoy the afternoon while I set up my studio to take classic and fun portraits.

For me as a parent the first year of my daughters life was such an incredible journey and being able to share this with a group of people going through exactly the same was the most amazing experience. I’m very lucky to have met a wonderful group of women through my pregnancy yoga class with Lisa Green (www.brockleyyoga.com) at the Sun Flower centre in Brockley and their friendship has been and continues to be invaluable. Thank you girls!

These shots are from a recent nct party which was to celebrate reaching the end of the first year – for the parents! At the end of the session I carefully photographed each baby individually and later merged the shot into one group shot which made a fantastic memento of the day and year!
