Hello,
2018 is almost over and I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy and relaxing end of the year.
Looking back, for me it’s been a very busy year. I am proud to have created and released this new website. All the work was done myself, which is why it took me 4 months!
I have had a wonderful year working with lots of families taking family portraits and new born shots. We had a fantastic spring bluebell season and will be bringing the mini sessions back again in 2019. Being in the late stages of pregnancy didn’t slow me down at all. Though I did occasionally forget I was pregnant. On one new born shoot, as I was sitting on the floor, I leant back, forgetting my stomach muscles were non-existent and ended up flat on my back!
I shot a beautiful wedding for Becki and Glenn when I was 37 weeks pregnant and surprised myself by feeling really well! I think this is a testament to loving what you do.
We welcomed our beautiful baby boy to our family on Sunday 17th June. Ethan was a late, yet speedy arrival on Father’s Day and made for a much better gift than Andy’s Star Wars mug! (though, actually – I’m not so sure Andy would agree with that! The lightsabers light up when you fill the cup with hot water).
Lena was with us for Ethan’s birth – it was wonderful having her with us to meet him straight away. Lena was excitedly telling the midwives that Ethan was here because of her, she kept asking me for a baby brother or sister. Ethan has lit up our world with his funny, happy personality. He is now 6 months old and cutting his first tooth.
In September I started back doing photography shoots and am thrilled to have also teamed up with Vier Studio in Lingfield to create stunning new born images using high end props and backdrops, combining themed and au naturel images. We even have 6-foot flower wall!
Rounding off this amazing year we were all home for Christmas and I cooked Christmas dinner. My parsnips turned out great, though I inadvertently served raw broccoli. Whoops!
I have put together a short montage of this years images. Be sure to turn your sound on!
