Hugs are coming!! How will you celebrate? Tomorrow feels like a huge sigh of relief for me 🌿

Siblings 🌿 they usually steal the show at a newborn session. Luckily my photoshoots are completely baby/child led. This means that I have a rough plan of what I want to achieve but we mostly just roll with it and I have lots of little tricks and prompts to engage little ones so that everyone has fun and is relaxed. I don't ever push anything that they don't want to do. I also allow lots of time for breaks and snacks. Snacks are definitely important in a session 🤪

Why older babies are just as lovely as newborns. No words needed just look at this beautiful 3 month old 🌿

So I have a controversial opinion - parenting 'styles' suck. Before having my son, I didn't even know these existed. But after he was born and I started to look at advice books on certain things and realised there was a long list that I apparently needed to choose from and live by... attachment, respectful, Gina ford, montessori... The list goes on! I get why they could be helpful in collecting some advice and maybe I'm the only one in my feelings in this but I felt a pressure to choose one and conform to it and if my child didn't respond to the advice then I failed at parenting or there was something 'wrong' with my child. I think social media has played a big part in my feelings.

Gawd I love this girl and this age! I love capturing play and their imaginations as they grow. I worry I will forget. And I worry that they will too. What do you worry about forgetting when they are all grown?

If you told me 5 years ago that I would be meeting people I didn't know and going into their houses and taking their pictures I would never have believed you. Before I had my eldest the anxiety of doing such things was at an all time high. After years of working for corporate companies and bosses telling me I couldn't do things and putting limits on me (even though deep down I knew I was capable of more), I started to believe them. That was until I had my son. He was my reminder that I can do anything I put my mind to.

Finally I have new stuff to share! My cup is full after 2 lovely in home baby sessions this week 🥰

What's the most important thing to you when you look at a photograph? What about a photograph of you and your family? When you look at your photos I want you feel connected and loved. I want you to surround yourself with these images in your home or to look through when things are a little bit tough to remind you that fact. I also want to tell a story, one that's unique to you and your family and that you can all look back on and be taken straight back to that time.

Happy 5th birthday to my beautiful one of a kind boy 🎈 5 seems like a big number, his chubby baby face is long gone, we are hanging on to the excitement of seeing a digger or tractor by a thread, we are now all about dinsosaurs and avengers 🦖 he's had the most wonderful day seeing family and friends in our garden 🌼
