🎂 🎂 TODAYS CAKE SMASH 🎂🎂
Isla has not yet gone down for her nap but is showing signs of starting to get tired. I imagine in the next half an hour she’ll go down so today’s cake smash will probably start sometime between 12.30 and 1.00pm as I want a happy baby not a tired grumpy one! Hope some of you can join us

So we will be kicking off around 12pm tomorrow - hope to “see” lots of you there!

Ever thought about booking a cake smash shoot but unsure if it’s for you?
This Saturday I will be going live on here for my own daughters cake smash shoot.
It will give you a glimpse of what goes on during a cake smash shoot, what you can expect if you book a shoot and you can even ask me any questions if you have any.
I will confirm exact timing later in the week but I think we’ll be kicking off just before 12 (cake for lunch Isla 🙈)
I’m not revealing the theme I’ve chosen for her until the day but I’m very excited about it.
So pop by here Saturday to watch and give me a wave if you do!

Hi everyone - sorry I’ve been a bit quiet this end. I had planned to be doing some model calls by now however my work laptop took an unfortunate bath via our perfect prep machine and is currently out of action waiting to be fixed.
I’m hoping that it won’t be too long for it to be fixed.
I would estimate now though that I probably won’t be looking for models until mid November/early December once we are back from our first family abroad.
Models I’ll be looking for are:

Newborn babies: boys and girls for wrapped poses, beanbag poses and shots in some of the new outfits I have in.
To make it fair I’ll probably choose one model of each s*x for each criteria above (ie one boy for wrapped and one girl for wrapped) so that I can offer model calls to more people. I will be offering these sessions for free and you will get 2 free images included with the option to purchase more.

Families: I will be looking for a couple of families to do some outdoor location shoots at a location of my choice. Think wintery hats, scarfs, wellies, warm blankets. Again these sessions will be free and include 2 free images with the option to purchase more.

Sitter shoots: I will be looking for one boy and one girl who can sit unaided but can not crawl. Models will be required to wear my outfits but can also bring some of their own outfits and props that will be used only once we’ve taken shots in my outfits. Again these sessions will be free and include 2 free images with the option to purchase more.

If you are interested in any of the above model calls please comment on this post stating which shoot you are interested along with a photo (obviously newborns aren’t born yet) and I will select from this post once I’m back up and running. To make it fair on everyone I will not accept inbox responses for these model calls - only responses on this post please.
I’m really looking forward to meeting new families and capturing precious moments for you making ever lasting memories.

Once your baby can sit unaided book in for one of my sitter sessions - they are a lovely milestone to capture and we can personalise with any special toys, blankets or clothes you want to include or you can use my outfits & props

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I've been busy working on some new packages to offer you all as I am now starting to take bookings again.
I have decided to offer different packages rather than a "one size fits all" pricing and this will give you flexibility to choose what products/prints you actually want. If you want other print types or special products I can provide these too so please ask.
My regular customers will notice there has been a slight price increase for my services. Now nobody likes a price increase, I definitely don't however I have been going over 2 years now and this is the first time I have increased my prices and I hope to stick to these prices. I want my photography to remain affordable for all but I need my prices to also reflect the training I have done and the progression I have made since starting out. The support you have given my business has meant I have upgraded my equipment and can now provide better quality products which will be reflected in the photos you receive.

In addition to the below I will be offering a loyalty scheme for returning customers of which I will be announcing soon.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported my little business over the last 2 years and I look forward to photographing all your little rainbows again soon.

Look out for another post to follow with model calls.

I had the gorgeous Olivia in my studio for her first birthday pink and gold cake smash. She's the daughter of a friend of mine and I couldn't wait to do her shoot! Big sister Sophia joined in the fun for a few shots.
Here are some sneak peeks from today - doesn't my friend make the most scrumptious girls

Hello everyone, so I've been busy behind the scenes on my maternity leave working on new services, testing my new camera, back drops and props and I should be able to update you with all my new packages very soon along with advertising for some models to try some new things out on.
One shoot I want to start offering is "Sitter shoots" these are done once baby can sit unaided, ideally before they are crawling but if they are crawling that's not a problem but be prepared for a bit of a work out popping baby back into position so I can focus on capturing you beautiful memories.
I had to test out a sitter shoot on my baby girl with some of the new props and outfits I have and I am very pleased with the results.
I am doing another one with her at the weekend as I have a few more outfits and setups to try out.
Who would be interested in having a sitter shoot?

Big thank you to White Willow Vintage Props for the beautiful outfits Isla is wearing. These outfits will be available for you all to use to or you can bring your own.
Beautiful backdrops from Creativity Backgrounds - total game changer!

I had the pleasure of doing a cake smash shoot yesterday for my friends little boy to try out my new camera and backdrops. Meet Arthur - I'm sure you will all agree he aced his "at the beach" themed shoot!

Hello to all my lovely customers, I hope you are all well and those beautiful babies are bringing you lots of joy.
I’m still on maternity leave at the moment but am starting to plan my return. It won’t be for a little while longer but you’ll be the first to hear when I’m back.
I’ve got lots of exciting new ideas and packages and am planning a bit of a revamp and will also be trying out some new ideas for which I will be looking for models to try things with so keep an eye on this page for more details soon.
In the meantime I’ll leave you with some pictures of my little Rainbow who has been taking up all of my time
