Babies | Cambridegshire Family Photographer

I have been spoilt rotten these last few weeks with bundles of beautiful babies coming to the studio.
There is nothing like a baby to brighten up your day and these gorgeous babies sure did just that!

When thinking about having your baby photographed, the best age for a newborn is no older than 14 days; this allows your baby to be molded for those cute poses and they still sleep loads!
Another great age is 6-9 months when they can sit up give you continous smiles and not crawl away in too much of a hurry!

I have recently purchased  a new background and floor to fit with my shabby vintage style that I love. Being able to do some baby and toddler sessions from my home studio allows you and your baby to feel more relaxed and we are not hindered by the English weather. You can feed your baby in the privacy of my home and I provide tea and biscuits too!

Sit back and enjoy some cute overload!

I ahve a great baby mini session offer on at the moment, perfect for Christmas gifts for Grandparents, family and friends. See here for details

Love social media? You can find me here on facebook, twitter and pinterest!

I love getting comments so dont be shy, leave these cuties some love.

Weddings | Cambridgeshire Portrait Photographer

I am mostly known for my children's portraits, which I love doing and have so much fun capturing little ones smiles and individual personalities. After photographing a couple of weddings myself and second shooting for some very talented photographers I am ready to start adding weddings to my portfolio.

You can visit my website and click on galleries to view my wedding portfolio. I will be adding more from my second shooting weddings over the next couple of weeks.

I am very excited to be looking for 5 couples who are getting married in 2013 to be there wedding photographer and capture their day from the Bride getting ready to the first dance. I love capturing the details and telling the story of your day through my lens.
Please see below a selection of my wedding portfolio. I will be adding more over the coming weeks.

 If you or you know someone who is getting married in 2013, please do get in touch for more information on my wedding packages. I would so love to meet and discuss your ideas and plans.

One lucky couple will be getting an engagement shoot for free!

The Consultation | Cambridgeshire Portrait Photographer

Crazy I know but I seem to have gone backwards with my process that I take my clients through, but hey that's my crazy creative mind all back to front LOL. I will pop links on the side bar for easy reference , in order!

So you want to have a family portrait session do you? Or maybe its time to have some new photos of the children and you are thinking you want something different. Gone are the days when we walk into our local high street studio, you want one of these "lifestyle" sessions every ones talking about these days. But whats a lifestyle session I hear you cry!
Aha I shall tell you how I work and what is involved with me.
I am guessing you have seen my website and you like what you see and you have clicked on the contact me button and your email is winging its way to me in cyberspace!

I will email or give you a call and hopefully we can meet up somewhere nice for coffee and a scrumptious cupcake. I like to meet you in person prior to our shoot, you get to meet me and see if you and I hit it off, which hopefully we do. We both get to enjoy a nice cupcake, my treat, and chat over coffee/tea/hot chocolate (circle your preference).

I want to learn about you and your family. What you love to do, what makes you tick, what makes you laugh, hobbies and so on. No point taking you to a beautiful field for a full on country session with apple crates, picnic and bunting if you are a family that love to BMX, takeouts and love the urban scene. See where I'm going with this?

I will talk about What to Wear on your shoot and how best to compliment each other. Once we have booked a date you will go away with one of my brand spanking new (not back from the printers yet) welcome packs, jam full of helpful tips for your session, questionnaire and guides you through the shooting process.

Hopefully I have given you a small insight on whats involved before shoot day. If you have any questions or would like to meet up with me over a coffee/tea/hot chocolate and the scrumptious cupcake, well give me a call and lets book a date in the diary xx

Ruby | Cambridgeshire Childrens Portrait Photographer

Back in March I was invited to Homemade London to a craft day with Danielle Proud you may remember. I met lots of lovely ladies and amongst them was Liz and her daughter Ruby. Well I fell in love with little Ruby and so wanted to do a photo session with her.
Liz agreed and in April I met up with them both on what was probably the hottest day of the year!
Ruby was a little shy when I first arrived but like all little girls it wasn't long before she wanted to show me her lovely pink and girly bedroom!
And then it was on to the sunny yellow guest bedroom where Ruby showed my how high she can jump (on the bed ssshhh)

After a bite to eat and a cuppa we headed out to the woods near Flitwick Bedfordshire for some fun.
Ruby twirled and danced, helped me pick some wild garlic that the woods were covered in, and Ruby had lots of fun playing with one of my vintage cameras.

After about an hour, we decided to head back home due to the heat. I know hard to believe at the moment!
Ruby took me outside to show me her little Wendy House.
Ruby was such a good model so I just had to reward her with this perfect pink lolly! And of course it made for a great photo op!

Here is a selection of my fun day with Ruby.

I would love to meet over coffee and a cupcake ;) and talk about capturing memories of your family.
Just drop me an email or give me a call 07939139685

Look forward to hearing from you

Before and After Ruby | Cambridgeshire Childrens Photographer

I love sharing these SOOC posts with you, and hopefully sooner than later I will have this Monday posting sorted! Kids are back at school today so is my working like, LOL.
Anyways, a few weeks back I had the pleasure of doing a life style shoot with Ruby, whose Mum I had met at the Danielle Proud and Ambu Pur day in London (see post here). Speaking to Liz it became apparent she lived only 30 minutes from me in a small village in Bedfordshire! We quickly booked a date for me to come over and do a photo session with Ruby.
I will blog this session properly on Wednesday, in the meantime I have chosen a photo from this session to do my before and after.

Rubys bedroom was a typical girly bedroom, full of pretties and pink! Love it! There was a lovely huge dorma window to the right of Ruby and I used this as my primary light source.
I edited as follows :

• Cropped
• Lightened slightly with curves
• Sharpened eyes
• Used Florabella actions, blossom and spring pastels

Here is the paint chip. The interior designer in me just loves this!

Check back tomorrow for more form Ruby's session. Full of girly goodness and some bed jumping!
Would you like to book a lifestyle session with me? Just drop me an email or call me, 07939139685, and we can discuss over a coffee what I can do to capture these precious childhood memories.

Thanks for stopping by
