Oh wow I’ve been so busy with Christmas sessions

Oh wow I’ve been so busy with Christmas sessions since early November and finalising galleries that I haven’t shared a single shot on my grid and it’s the 3rd December… what kind of a sham of a family photographer am I?! 😅😆🎄❤️

Here’s just a little tiny snippet! More to come 🙏🏽

It’s all been so beautiful and ridiculously cute, sold out sessions for my Christmas pop up mini sessions - featuring a beautiful traditional fireplace and gorgeous decorations. Thank you to all the families that joined me 🥰❤️

& three extra mini mini pop ups at my sons’ school and @chacharchimpsstalbans too ❤️

I’ve photographed almost 50 families this Christmas, so far!

My mini sessions are now finished for 2024 and I’ve got some beautiful newborn, maternity and first birthday shoots in family homes coming up, all featuring their Christmas trees… it’s going to be gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

A little bit like a fairytale ✨🧚✨ Oh I lov

A little bit like a fairytale ✨🧚✨

Oh I loved this adventure with this mamma, her baby bump & gorgeous family 🥰

I loved the contrast of the autumnal countryside and soft box overcast sky with mamma and her daughter giving such Princess vibes with their soft pink dresses ✨✨✨ It felt a little bit like scenes from an otherworldly fairytale 💛

I still have lots of summer & autumn family memories to share ✨

These moments… 💔✨😭 Never to be repeated

These moments… 💔✨😭

Never to be repeated, fleeting, scrunchy delicious newborn baby girl and the proudest big brother 🥰

At home on a cosy Saturday afternoon… candles flickering, low autumn light, warm, special moments at home 🥰

You need photos like these 🥰 Okay, you don’t need them, but you may always wish you had them 🥰

Autumn portraits to celebrate my beautiful Caspar’s fourth birthday on Friday 🎈🍂🍁 Our autumn baby. When the leaves turn golden we know it’s almost his birthday 💛

Our little treasure, how much do I love you, let me count the ways 💛

My final days of my Autumn pregnancy 💛 and then the postpartum period, a tiny newborn to care for throughout the winter months with lockdown and covid adding some challenges✨ The strangest of times that weren’t easy.

Anyone else lucky enough to treasure and love-so-much-it-hurts, and be fiercely loved in return, by your own big energy, wild & free, big personality four year old boy knows that it’s not always plain sailing 😅😆 it’s all a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions, feelings and chaos ❤️

My middle child, who I feel a constant worry he’ll feel like a middle child (whatever that is, I’m not really sure) so I’ll completely overcompensate and then my first & third babies will feel abandoned and thus the cycle of mother guilt and worry continues round and round forevermore 😭🤣🥰

Gahh it actually made me feel bad how much Caspar loved taking these photos - an adventure just with mummy, me telling him he’s amazing and beautiful for an hour, exploring nature, trying to make him smile… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, family photoshoots are the ultimate love bombing session for your children 💔🥰

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you ✨
