"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 📸

"Three generations, one incredible love story..." "Three generations, one incredible love story..."
To the grandparents reading this - you are NOT just the babysitters. You're the storytellers, the wisdom keepers, the ones who spoil them rotten and love them unconditionally 👵👴💕
This beautiful image captures something so precious - a brand new baby surrounded by the women who will shape their world. Mummy's gentle touch, Grandmum's experienced hands, and a little one who's already wrapped around everyone's hearts.
Here's what I know after 14 years behind the camera: grandparents bring magic to every session. You bring the laughter that makes everyone relax, the stories that create genuine smiles, and a love so deep it radiates through every photograph.
Your grandchild won't always be small enough to cradle. They won't always think your jokes are hilarious. One day they'll be too busy for long afternoon visits. But these portraits? They'll be treasured forever.
Don't wait for "next time" or worry about how you look. Your grandchild doesn't see wrinkles - they see the person who makes the best pancakes, gives the biggest hugs, and always has time for one more story.
You belong in these family portraits. Your love is part of their story 💫
Grandparents - when did you last have portraits taken with your grandchildren? It's time to get in front of the camera!

"To the mum who thinks it's 'too late' for family "To the mum who thinks it's 'too late' for family photos..."
Your 5-year-old with paint under their fingernails and stories that never end. Your 8-year-old who's lost three teeth this year and still believes in magic. Your teenager who towers over you now but still needs a cuddle after a bad day.
Every single year is history in the making 📸
We get so caught up thinking newborn photos are the 'important' ones that we forget - your child at 4 is completely different from your child at 7. Those chubby cheeks become defined jawlines. Lisps turn into confident voices. Shy smiles become bold laughter.
Right now, today, your child is exactly this age for the very last time. Tomorrow they'll be a little taller, a little wiser, a little more grown up. These aren't just 'in-between' years - these ARE the years. The scraped knees, the gap-toothed grins, the way they still reach for your hand crossing the road.
Your 6-year-old won't always think you're the coolest person in the world. Your 10-year-old won't always want to snuggle. Your teenager won't always live under your roof.
Every age deserves to be remembered. Every stage deserves to be celebrated. Every year is worth capturing 💕
When did you last have portraits taken of your older children? It might be time...

"Sometimes the simplest setups create the most tim "Sometimes the simplest setups create the most timeless magic..."
There's something so classic and elegant about soft creams, delicate lace, and a peaceful sleeping baby. This little angel looks like a vintage dream nestled in textures that whisper stories of generations past 🤍
I love creating these timeless portraits because they never go out of style. While trends come and go, there's something eternally beautiful about soft neutrals and gentle textures. These are the images that will hang on your walls for decades, that your children will treasure when they're older, that capture the pure innocence of those precious early days.
Every detail matters - from the way the lace catches the light to how perfectly baby fits into this cosy little nest. It's not just about the props; it's about creating an heirloom piece that celebrates the artistry of new life ✨
The beauty is in the simplicity. No bold colours needed when you have perfect skin, tiny features, and that newborn serenity that takes your breath away 💕

To the mum reading this at 2am... I see you there To the mum reading this at 2am...
I see you there in the soft glow of your phone, baby finally settled after what feels like hours. You're tired, maybe a little overwhelmed, but also completely in love with this tiny human who's turned your world upside down.
These are the moments that matter - the quiet 2am feeds, the way your baby's hand curls around your finger, the overwhelming feeling of "I can't believe this little person is mine." But here's what I know after 16 years of photographing families: these moments pass faster than you think.
One day you'll miss the weight of your baby in your arms at 2am. You'll miss their tiny newborn cries and the how they fit perfectly into your chest. 
That's why I'm passionate about capturing these fleeting weeks - because your exhausted, beautiful, overwhelming love story deserves to be remembered.
Sweet dreams, mama. You're doing an incredible job 💕

"To the mum wondering where I've been..." I've be "To the mum wondering where I've been..."
I've been quieter on social media lately, and there's a beautiful reason why 💕
Behind the scenes, I've been completely immersed in creating magic for the most incredible families. Long studio days capturing those precious first weeks, late nights perfecting every single image, and pouring my heart into making sure each portrait tells your unique story perfectly.
This gorgeous mama and her little one are exactly why I disappear into my work sometimes. When you're trusted with capturing someone's most precious moments - the gentle way she cradles her baby, the overwhelming love in her eyes, the way her little one instinctively snuggles closer - everything else fades away.
I've been busy because you've been booking, trusting me with your families, and that means the world to me. Every quiet moment on social media has been a loud celebration of love in my Coventry studio ✨
Sometimes the best work happens when you step back from posting and focus completely on creating. But I'm back now, ready to share more of these beautiful moments with you!
To all the mamas who've been patiently waiting for their galleries - they're coming, and they're going to take your breath away 💫
What's been keeping you busy lately? I'd love to hear! 👇

"Make it a Family Affair: Siblings at Cake Smash S "Make it a Family Affair: Siblings at Cake Smash Sessions!
There's something magical about watching siblings interact during a cake smash session. While your little one discovers the joy of their first cake, having big brothers or sisters join in creates moments that are pure gold! From gentle helping hands showing baby how to dig into the cake, to those priceless giggles when icing ends up everywhere – these are the memories that become family treasures.
We always welcome siblings to be part of the celebration! They can join in for some beautiful portraits before the cake makes its grand appearance, capturing those sweet bonds that only brothers and sisters share. And let's be honest – sometimes the best shots are those spontaneous moments when big sister can't resist helping to 'taste test' the cake, or when brother shows his little sibling how to make the biggest mess possible!
These sessions aren't just about marking your baby's first birthday – they're about celebrating your whole family's journey together. The love, the laughter, and yes, even the occasional cake-covered chaos! We'll capture it all in a way that tells your family's unique story.
Every sibling dynamic is different, and that's what makes these sessions so special. Whether they're protective, playful, or a bit of both, we'll create portraits that showcase those one-of-a-kind relationships that only siblings share."
