I absolutely love this frame from a fun photoshoot at home in Wimbledon. We have spent the majority of our time together at home, crafting, junk modelling, reading and snuggling, but I kept peeking out of the window as it was supposed to snow that day – a rarity in London!
If you’re anything like me, you probably take a lot of pictures of your children. Because they are so heart-meltingly cute, and they always look amazing. Even if they haven’t had a bath for 3 days, or just woken up, or are covered in mud/sand/food.
And so you have a zillion of snapshots of your children doing all sorts of fun things – you kids in the park, on a playground, digging in the sand or splashing in the sea, sleeping and playing with their toys. Sometimes there’s your partner in the pictures, too. But more often then not, it’s just the kids.
This beautiful 10×10″ Fine Art Album in Plum with images from a newborn photography session in Teddington has been my sample album in 2017, and I’ve showed this to many, many people, and it helped convince many of my clients to purchase a Fine Art Album following their own photoshoot.
I joined the family at their home in Wimbledon early on a Sunday morning. We started with a spot of crafting, continued with a battle of “stab the pirate” (rules to which no one could quite remember) and hungry hippos, some cozy book reading, bumping down the stairs (boys, not the parents) and finally venturing outside into the heavy snowfall to play with the show (which, unfortunately, didn’t settle) but we still had lots of fun!
I’ve been very lucky to have my photos + words featured on various website and in publications in 2017, but haven’t really done a proper round-up. So here are a few from the last couple of months of 2017. Some I have written, and for some I’ve simply contributed one of my images. Hope you find some of them useful or inspirational :)
Every year, once Bonfire Night is over, the celebratory smoke from fireworks hanging in the autumn air as a promise of things to come, I start to get excited about Christmas. There’s something about these long, dark evenings and cold, cold weather which demands a touch of comfort and sparkle, in equal measures.
