Last week it was absolutely baking in the studio and I had a mini disaster! The tube to my AC unit is disintegrating!!! Ahhh!!
I had a sitter session scheduled later on so I had to think fast.

It was hot in the city yesterday!
🥵
A day of headshots for S&P Global was just what I needed all in a nice cool air conditioned training room.
Stepping outside the office building at lunchtime the hot air hit me like I was stepping out of a plane.
🌞
I really enjoy days like these, I get to chat to loads of different people and see a different part of London too.

Happy anniversary Danielle and Sean.
I had to share, some of the beautiful, some of the heart warming and some of the fun and funny moments.
(Don’t worry, the silly one of the blue haired bridesmaid is my daughter she thinks it’s a funny photo too!)
But I thought it was only right to share the energy of their day that truly shows what a lovely, fun loving couple and family they truly are.
Honoured, as ever to have photographed my daughter’s very good friend’s Wedding.
What a day! Congratulations Danielle and Sean!

Six of my favourite images from last Sunday.
I’m back to doing Bride selfies again!
I’m all about little stolen moments, natural, funny, un posed…. But I still love to do a couple of naturally posed shots too.
😊
Over 20 years of photographing Weddings and I still get anxiety the day before.
Why? That’s the question everyone asks.
🤷🏻‍♀️
The core of it is, I didn’t want to fail Becca and Rob. I know I won’t but it’s still a fear.
This day is the biggest day of their life, the ceremony is the most momentous thing they will ever experience. And although I’ve done this hundreds of times before, I feel this too.
On the day, I look like I’m laid back, calm and so organised.
I’m organised because I’ve checked my bag 1000 times before leaving the house, I’ve gone back to the studio 100 times to pick up extra bits (brush, mirror, safety pins etc) maybe I have OCD?
But I guess the anxiety means that I still care deeply about their day, I still after all these years want to give them the absolute best of me.
💁🏻‍♀️
After the anxiety is the excitement of editing their sneak peek and waiting to see their reaction when they see them.
I still have lots to editing to do, including video ( can’t wait to build it!)
But for now, this is why I love these photos, I don’t just love them I LOVE them.
Becca, by the end of the day I felt like I’d known you for ever… friends for life!
Thank you for trusting me with your most special day.
Congratulations to you all.

When is a cake smash not a cake smash?
When you have a first birthday photoshoot and there is no cake!
🎂
This smiley little chap came to me for his newborn session just like his big brother did and also like his brother we did a nice simple birthday photoshoot session.
No cake, no mess, just focused on the little man himself.
😍
I always love seeing families again, I get to watch the children grow into the little humans that Mummy and Daddy are shaping them into. And it’s just wonderful to see.

A little diary update while I’m here.
I’m fully booked until next week, then I’m taking a little holiday Monday - Friday the bank holiday weekend I’m in Dorset photographing a Wedding.
Diary is open from the 5th May for bookings again.
😊

Sometimes I forget that not everyone sees everything I do…
🤪
Most people find me for newborn photography—but I also photograph families, cake smashes, headshots, weddings and also content creation.
🤍
And recently, I’ve been spending a couple of days a week creating content over at too… which I absolutely love!

It does mean my studio time is a little more limited now, so if you’ve been thinking about booking in, it’s always best to get in touch sooner rather than later

If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, just send me a message—I’m always happy to chat!
😌

POV: your family just grew by one 🤍

I photographed big brother when he was just a tiny baby too.
It’s always so nice to see families again and watch their children grow.
My style was, is and will always be simple with neutral tones and focused on baby.
Wow, what a beautiful family. Big brother was perfect and looked after his little sibling so well.
🥹
Thank you so much to Mummy and Daddy for coming back to me again to document your growing family.

My couple had THE best idea…
A champagne spray in none other than Uxbridge!
I wasn’t sure if this was allowed, but thought we would just try and apologise later.
👋🏻
You have to be quick off the mark to catch the spray, but boy it was great!
Champagne obviously works the best as I think the bubbles are bouncier inside that bottle.
🍾
If your from around the Uxbridge area, can you guess where we did this?

The studio has been soooo busy and this month is no different it’s packed to the rafters with shoots!
😍
This makes me very happy, as it means I can do more sessions like this.
I mean, this baby was just a dream. Yes, I had to sooth him and he needed feeding and bun changes which is no different to any other baby. But he was so lovely and cuddly.
I had some lovely chats with Mummy and Daddy too, I photographed Mummy’s niece bit that long ago too.
🥰
I love looking back at photos I’ve taken, I remember how that shoot felt and what a lovely time we had…. Memories for me and for Parents, all in my little studio in Ruislip!

Love is always in the air in my little studio.
I was thinking about some of the shoots I’ve done in the last year and recently.
Throw back to last years V-Day and when I made a torn heart and did a mini shoot with the cat, (yes he ended up attacking me 😸)
One of my favourite client’s bubba holding a heart, love her!
My neighbour’s son had a Valentines mini shoot (I mean, how blooming cute is that?)
And I shot a Wedding style portrait session in Uxbridge this week and it was lovely!
Feeling the love this week for sure!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
💝💐💖🍾
