A HOLI-HOLIDAY

Well we took a holiday we staycation. This year it was Cornwall my sons choice as it was his 18th birthday.
For me a holiday with my kids is just about chilling out and relaxing just go with the flow. I never have a plan for a holiday we just do what ever we feel. This works really well for us as time together is not forced it just gentle comes along.

Its also amazing to see how much the children have changed gone are buckets and spades and sand castles decorated with flags and shells. Now comes the suntan lotion and Ipod and magazines.

Gone are night time stories of a spooky theme . Now it barbecues and a bottle of wine.

Trips to the beach ice cream and donkey rides are replaced with lounging by the pool or having a late evening meal, or sitting on the dunes watching the sun go down.

I cherish each holiday I have had with my children, I cherish the time I have had with them and watched them grow from wiggle pink things into adults making their own choices in life From shy little wall flowers to now stepping out with confidence.

I watched my son one evening walking along the shore and it reminded me of the Footprints in the sand as a Mother we always carry our children in our hearts and minds how ever old they are.

Yes we had fun we went to lots of places marvelled at the sunsets and scenery, we laughed together and swore when none of the lanterns would stay alight and take off, best of all we were doing all this together..
Hope you enjoy a few of my holiday snaps..

Baby T,s newborn session

I really must  get more up to date with this blogging. I have had the great pleasure of being asked to photograph a fair few  tiny newborns. There is just something so special about babies, We do tend to take them for granted but every baby is a unique little miracle and to be asked to capture babies first portrait is an honour.

I differ from other photographers in my area as I come to you. I am a mum myself and know how hard it is to even get dressed in the morning when you have a new little person in your life.

All I ask from you is you have a clear space for newborns a table is actually best my time with you is not per hour I just go with how long it takes. I want my clients to feel relaxed I allow time for feeding, changing and include family and siblings where possible .

The best time to take pictures of baby is around 5 to 6 days old. I normally arrange to come as baby is having his/her lunch time/afternoon feed. This allows me to set up while your still seeing to baby.

Baby is normally sleepy which allows to get the cute little picture you see here.

I bring with me an assortments of hats and nappy covers in fact all you might liked to provide is a nice warm cup of tea.

I also do a first year book which can include maternity bump pictures right through to babies big first birthday I will return every three months to capture your new little person growing. For parents that dont mind the mess the last images can be a smash the cake session. Baby loves this part and I provide the cake and backdrop so no mess on your furniture or carpets.


Baby T was a joy to photograph  he is just  six days old in these pictures, such a darling little snuggly boy

My baby session are on special offer right now at just £15.00 for me to come out to you, images are at extra cost  starting from just £8.00
