SURREY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS Think you've left it too late to book your newborn photography shoot..? You may not have! It's always worth contacting me to check if I have any availability. It's best to book at least 3 months in advance of your due date to be able to ensure that I can fit you in, but I understand that for many mummies and daddies-to-be, newborn photography isn't always something that is right at the top of the list when you're expecting - t

A natural newborn photography shoot | Wimbledon newborn photographer
A natural in-home newborn shoot in Wimbledon Village. This little chap was super relaxed and sleepy for me, which is not always the case.

Just what you need to break up the newborn weeks, which are bac

Mama | Breastfeeding must haves - my own personal essentials
I was chatting with friends just recently about our mixed experiences of feeding. I remember as a new mama 5-years ago that the pressure to be able to breastfeed was simply overwhelming.

Memories of Summer | Wimbledon Baby Photographer
It's blooming freezing out there today. I haven't been lucky enough (?) to be inundated with a flurry of snowfall like much of the UK however, instead Surrey is facing non stop, bitterly cold sleet and rain. Just lovely! And so I feel that we need this today - memories of the end of the summer when I met this family at Morden Park for an on location baby photography session. Mama is still wearing flip flops! Now if that's not going to warm you up on this chilly December day,

Why there's no better time to book your photography session

This month I'm dealing with it head on by detailing EVERYTHING in Wunderlist. So far, so good! But let's be honest...There are a million things in life worth putting off, such as: Decluttering the 'odds and bobs' draw Carrying out the annual wardrobe purge Dry cleaning those silk shirts at the bottom of your laundry basket (you know the ones...we all
