A very warm welcome to the relaxed and gorgeous Ivy. With two older brothers, and smitten parents, there is a whole lot of love coming your way.

These personalised metal Christmas ornaments have been a big hit, and I’ll be placing another order on Monday. For families that have had their Christmas mini-sessions, they can be ordered direct from your online gallery, using photos from this year and previous years.

What’s the old quote about never working with children and animals? Well, I disagree. That’s always when the fun starts. Charlie the dog came along to today’s newborn session and made sure Archie’s toes were always immaculately clean

It’s been wonderful to see so many gorgeous little faces for this year’s Christmas mini-sessions. For some families this is their sixth year and it’s been great being a part of their family tradition. These sessions sold out quickly and I’ve loved this year’s set and the chance to play in the snow again.

When you just can’t find the joy in Christmas anymore.

When I look back on these photos, you realise how crazy fast childhood goes. Thanks for letting me capture this journey X

Before the chaos and mess of a Cake Smash, I love to get a family portrait. Nobody looks this clean again during our session.

I first photographed these identical twins back in 2016 when they came dressed in matching white shirts. I thought I had nailed it and sent out the gallery, methodically checking I had the same number of photos of each brother. Their mum politely enquired if I had any other photos, because all the ones I had supplied were only of Jack. Now she brings them each year in different coloured shirts .

Oh Harvey, you won me over when I first photographed you as a baby under my Christmas tree and you’ve been getting more delightful each year.

Thanks for brightening my day with your visit. Lovely to meet you.

My favourite part of taking Christmas photos is watching these little people grow up and capturing this wonderful process. Thank you for letting me be a part of recording your family history

And look at this little special visitor she brought along for Christmas photos this morning.
