There's something absolutely magical about watchin There's something absolutely magical about watching big brothers and sisters at their sibling's cake smash session! 💕 At around 4 years old, they're at that perfectly cheeky age - full of personality, giggles, and the most adorable expressions. While baby is getting messy with their cake, these little ones are often the best entertainment, pulling faces, making their sibling laugh, and creating the most genuine moments. After 14+ years of photographing families, one of my absolute favourite things is watching families grow. From those precious newborn sessions to first birthdays, and seeing those once-tiny babies become proud big siblings - it never gets old! The joy on a 4-year-old's face when they see their little brother or sister covered in cake? Pure magic. And those candid shots of them together? They become some of the most treasured images families take home. These sessions aren't just about the birthday baby - they're about capturing your family exactly as it is in this moment. The chaos, the laughter, the mess, and most importantly, the love. What's your favourite memory of your children together at this age? #CakeSmashPhotography #SiblingLove #CoventryPhotographer #FamilyPhotography #BirthdayPhotos #CoventryMums #WarwickshirePhotographer #GrowingFamilies #FamilyMemories #NewbornToCakeSmash #coventrycakesmash #firstbirthday #birminghammums #coventrymums #celebratebirthdays #oneyearagotoday❤️ #firstyearonearthwasablast #makingmemoires #siblinglove
From "I do" to "I love you more than words can say From "I do" to "I love you more than words can say" 💕👰‍♀️ This little angel is sleeping peacefully under the same veil (just like we did for her sisters newborn session) that once framed mummy's face on her wedding day two years ago. The very veil that witnessed promises of forever, dreams of the future, and hopes for the family they'd build together. Now, years later, that same delicate lace cradles their greatest blessing. There's something so profoundly beautiful about this connection - the veil that once symbolized the beginning of their love story now gently embraces the most precious chapter of all. Every thread holds memories. Every pearl and bead witnessed the moment two became one, and now... two became three. This isn't just a photograph. It's a bridge between moments that matter most. It's the tangible proof that some dreams really do come true, just wrapped in the tiniest, most perfect package. From wedding day to newborn days - love grows, dreams evolve, and the most beautiful stories are still being written. 💍✨ Bringing family heirlooms into your newborn session creates timeless portraits that connect your past, present, and future.

They won't always be this small... 💕 Right now, They won't always be this small... 💕 Right now, in this very moment, your little one fits perfectly in the curve of your arms. Their tiny fingers wrap around yours, their soft breath tickles your neck, and time seems to stand still. But here's the thing every parent discovers - these moments are like morning mist. Beautiful, precious, and gone before you know it. One day, those chubby little arms that reach for you now will be too busy building towers, riding bikes, and eventually... too cool for mummy cuddles. One day, that sweet baby smell will be replaced by muddy shoes and playground adventures. One day, you'll realize it's been weeks since they asked to be picked up. This is why I photograph newborns. Not just for the adorable poses or perfect props, but for THIS - the weight of them in your arms, the way they melt into you, the pure love that radiates from these quiet moments. Because while they're growing and changing every single day, these photographs freeze time. They capture the feeling of their smallness, the intensity of your love, and the magic of right now. Your baby won't always be this tiny. But with the right photographs, you'll always remember exactly how it felt when they were. 💙 Book your newborn session while they're still in your bump - because the best moments happen in the first two weeks of life. #NewbornPhotography #CoventryPhotographer #BabyPhotographer #MummyAndMe #PreciousMoments #NewbornMemories #CoventryMums #WarwickshirePhotographer #BabyLove #NewbornArt #coventrybabyphotoshoot #baby #babyshower #babyofig #makingmemories #newbeginnings #babyphotographer #mummyblogger #coventrymums #photographernearme #mummy #pícoftheday
"When your newborn session turns into a comedy sho "When your newborn session turns into a comedy show..." This little man had me in stitches during his session! 😂 From serious contemplation to cheeky grins, confused squints to dramatic yawns - he gave us the full range of expressions in just one morning. People always ask me "Do newborns really have personalities already?" and the answer is absolutely YES! This gorgeous boy showed us his entire repertoire - the thinker, the charmer, the dramatic one, and even a few faces that had mum and dad cracking up. These candid expression shots are honestly some of my favourites. Yes, the peaceful sleeping poses are beautiful, but these little personality glimpses? They're pure gold ✨ Twenty years from now, these are the photos that will have the whole family laughing around the dinner table. "Remember when you used to pull that face as a baby?" These expressions tell the story of who your little one is right from the very beginning. Every baby is different - some are serious observers, others are natural comedians, and some (like this little guy) are born entertainers who keep everyone on their toes! What's the funniest face your little one pulls? I bet it's adorable! 👶 #NewbornExpressions #BabyFaces #CoventryPhotographer #NewbornPhotographyCoventry #BabyPersonality #CoventryMums #NewbornComedy #FunnyFaces #BabyBoy #WarwickshireMums #NewbornMagic #ExpressiveNewborn #StudioLife #BabyCharacter #NewbornPortraits #coventryphotographer #babyphotoshoot #newbornphotographer #newbornphotoshoot

"To the big brother or sister reading this over mu "To the big brother or sister reading this over mummy's shoulder..." Being a big sibling is one of the most important jobs in the world, and you're already doing it perfectly 💕 I know sometimes it feels confusing when this tiny person takes up so much of mummy and daddy's time. Maybe you felt a little worried when they first came home, or perhaps you fell in love the moment you met them. Both feelings are completely normal, and both make you an amazing big sibling. Some days you might feel frustrated when baby cries during your favourite TV show. Other days you'll surprise everyone by being the only one who can make them smile. You might feel proud showing them off to your friends, or sometimes wish things could go back to how they were before. All of these feelings are okay. Being a big sibling is a big adjustment, even for grown-ups! But here's what I know after photographing hundreds of families: you are going to be this baby's hero. You'll be their first friend, their protector, their teacher, and their biggest cheerleader. They're going to think you're the coolest person in the entire world. One day you'll look back and realize that getting a baby brother or sister was actually the best thing that ever happened to you. You'll have a built-in best friend, someone who shares your family jokes, and a person who will love you no matter what 💫 You're doing great, big sibling. This little one is so lucky to have you. As you can see from these photo's and beaming smile this older brother had no problem accepting his little brother. :) #BigSibling #SiblingLove #CoventryPhotographer #FamilyPortraits #NewBaby #CoventryMums #SiblingBond #FamilyPhotography #WarwickshireMums #BigBrotherBigSister #FamilyLove #SiblingMagic #GrowingFamily #siblinglove ##CoventryFamilies #BestFriends #coventryphotographer #babyphotoshoot #makingmemories #birminghamphotographer #brothers #childrensphotographer #babyphotoshoot
"Photographing a 15-month-old is like trying to ca "Photographing a 15-month-old is like trying to capture lightning in a bottle..." Let's be honest - toddler sessions are HARD work! 😅 One minute they're fascinated by a prop, the next they're trying to escape the studio. They don't follow directions, they have their own agenda, and "sit still" isn't in their vocabulary yet. But oh my goodness, the results are absolutely magical ✨ This gorgeous little one kept me on my toes for the entire session - running around, exploring everything, being beautifully, authentically themselves. And that's exactly what makes these portraits so special. The genuine curiosity, the mischievous grins, the way they discover the world with pure wonder. Toddler sessions aren't about perfect poses - they're about capturing personality. The way they scrunch their nose when they laugh. How they toddle with such determination. Those chubby little hands reaching for everything. The pure joy on their face when something delights them. Yes, it takes patience (and maybe a few bribes with snacks!). Yes, we might only get 2 seconds of cooperation at a time. But when we capture that perfect moment - that genuine smile, that spark of personality - it's absolutely worth every challenging minute 💕 These are the years that fly by fastest. Tomorrow they'll be talking in full sentences and too cool for photos. Right now, they're perfectly, chaotically, beautifully themselves. Who else has a toddler that keeps them on their toes? 🙋‍♀️ #ToddlerPhotography #15MonthsOld #CoventryPhotographer #ChasingToddlers #ToddlerPersonality #CoventryMums #WorthTheChallenge #FamilyPortraits #WarwickshireMums #ToddlerLife #CaptureTheChase #RealLife #ToddlerMagic #PerfectlyImperfect #CoventryFamilies
"Sometimes the most magical shots happen when baby "Sometimes the most magical shots happen when baby decides to stay awake..." We spend so much time trying to get your little one sleepy for their newborn session - the gentle shushing, the perfect temperature, the cozy swaddles. But can we talk about those moments when baby opens their eyes and just stares right into your soul? 👁️✨ These wide-awake shots are pure magic. There's something so captivating about a brand new baby taking in the world for the very first time. Those bright, curious eyes that seem to hold ancient wisdom. The way they focus on faces like they're memorizing every detail. The alert expression that makes you wonder what they're thinking about. Honestly? Some of my favourite portraits are the ones where baby is completely awake and present. There's an intensity, a connection, a "hello world, here I am" energy that sleepy poses just can't capture. Your baby's personality shines through in these moments - the serious contemplator, the wide-eyed wonderer, the little one who wants to see everything happening around them. These aren't the shots we planned for, but they're often the ones that make your heart skip a beat 💕 So if your little one decides to stay awake during their session? Perfect. We'll capture that beautiful alertness, those incredible eyes, and that brand new soul discovering the world. Some of the best moments are unplanned 📸 #WideAwakeBaby #NewbornEyes #CoventryPhotographer #NewbornPhotographyCoventry #AlertBaby #UnplannedMagic #CoventryMums #BabyPersonality #NewbornPortraits #WarwickshireMums #HelloWorld #BrightEyes #NewbornMagic #PerfectlyAwake #StudioLife #wideawakeclub #beautifulbabygirl #babyphotoshoot #newbornphotoshoot
