I have soo many ideas in my head! i think it may explode 😂

BUT…. i have decided on the SECOND christmas background.
Anddd ive just ordered some white ice skates 👀😂
you will have just to trust me, once i have everything it will look amazing!

Lots of gold fairy lights.

This one is more whites/ beige feel to it, so clothing wise i would recommend along them lines.

if the red traditional christmas colours are more your thing i have still got you covered as both backgrounds will be up for the duration of November.

Having a studio with a massive window onto the street was a dangerous decision 😂

Because now I spend half my day looking out thinking:

“OMG that couple are adorable.”
“HER OUTFIT 😍”
“I love what that family are wearing”

Just waiting for the day I become the local weirdo running out of the studio shouting “EXCUSE ME… THIS IS GOING TO SOUND REALLY STRANGE BUT CAN I PHOTOGRAPH YOU?!” 😂😂

If you walk past my window looking cute, stylish or ridiculously in love! you’ve been warned😂

apparently scouting models directly from the Street now. 🤣📸

🍂 HELLO SEPTEMBER 🍂

How is it September already?! 🤎

We’re heading into one of my favourite times of year!

Here’s a little look at what’s coming up…

🎃 Halloween Sessions
👻 Baby and toddler Halloween sesssion
🎄 Christmas Sessions
🎅 Santa Sessions – 7th & 14th November
💚 The Grinch Sessions
🎄 Traditional Christmas sessions
Plus all of our usual Newborn, Maternity, Cake Smash, Family & Pet sessions running throughout!

The cosy months are officially on their way and I’ve got so many ideas planned for the studio. 🤎

Christmas especially is going to be MAGICAL this year and I cannot wait to welcome so many of you through the doors!
I have already done my first giveaway for a Grinch session as this is the first year we’ve had a ground floor studio with wheelchair access!

If there are any other themed sessions you’d LOVE to see us do this autumn/winter, pop your ideas below 👇🏼

Just me, my boy, my tripod and me running back and forth to the camera about 400 times 😂📸

I absolutely LOVE how these turned out though. The light was gorgeous and we actually had such a laugh doing them.

A little reminder to myself to do this more often, because I take thousands of photos of my kids, but nowhere near enough with them. 🤍
