Over the last few years I’ve been so honoured to work with a little local school that punches way above its weight. The combination of really passionate staff and an involved parent body has led to some incredible opportunities for these children. It was fun to capture all the chaos and laughs from their Colour Run today.

I just love keeping my newborn sessions pure and simple.

There are so many props and outfits available to buy, complex wrapping techniques and poses to learn … but I’ve found my style. Keep a neutral colour palette, be guided by the baby and just focus on capturing them as they are.

I was delighted to have the adorable 10 day old Chloe come in for a newborn session today. She was very interested to see what was happening and didn’t want to sleep in case she missed something important. A quick catnap in Dad’s arms to get her through. 

In the last year I’ve had the pleasure of capturing the relationships between so many wonderful fathers and their children. From an incredible 2am water birth, to newborns and teenagers, christenings, extended family shoots with three generations together, to a 95th birthday for a much loved great-grandfather, and the emotion of being the father of the bride. It’s been a delight and a privilege. Much love and strength also to all the fathers I’ve photographed as part of my work with Heartfelt X
