Dates with my Daughters: January

As 2014 drew to a close, I sat and I pondered a photography project for the new year. I didn't want to do a 365 as it was too much pressure, but any less pictures without a theme to underpin it felt like a bit of a cop-out. 

Then, I stumbled across an article on Clickin' Moms about a project by Jennifer Bogle where she had photographed dates with her kids and the idea really spoke to me: Being creative with my photography, while taking pictures of my favourite models and setting aside just a little bit of guaranteed time with both of my daughters on their own each month... What a winning combo.

So here are January's offerings.

Cookies before a Sunday afternoon walk to Effy, my eldest, and an impromptu play picnic with Lowen, my tiddler (after illness got in the way of the original date plans, note her sister causing chaos around us!).

Amy & Nick's seaside wedding

Amy and I have known each other for a long time but I couldn't really tell you how. Anyway, I was absolutely honoured when her and Nick asked me to capture their big day. Amy's 50's vision came together beautifully; her custom made dress by Nova Clarke, her gents in tweed, layers of underskirts all topped off with a fabulous reception at Morgan's Vintage Dancehall on Margate Seafront.

Amy is a cake maker by trade and made her own cake and the couple who hate having their photograph taken were complete naturals, even delaying their speeches and cake cutting to head back to the beach at sunset... And it was completely worth it! I struggled to choose a few images from this wedding, so here's loads! 

Thank you Mr and Mrs Johnson for letting me be a part of your day, I enjoyed every second! 

Don't forget you can visit me here.

The Barclays

When I imagine my house three weeks after my first child was born, I can think of several words to describe it... Immaculate was not one of them. However, when I visited The Barclays to meet Baby Troy last week, not only was I stunned at how cute he was, and how fabulous his parents looked, I was speechless at their stunning home, which truly was immaculate and made this natural, lifestyle shoot so effortless. 

Troy was such a poppet, and it was a huge delight to capture his early days.

Family Martin

Three strapping young lads and their fabulous parents, beautifully coordinated on location at Oundle Mill last weekend. Little did we know that the mill would close three days later... So somewhat historic too! 

Amie's Maternity Shoot

Amie and I enjoyed the most STUNNING of sunsets while shooting her maternity photographs this week. We watched storms pass in the background, but we stayed dry!

Ruth's Maternity Shoot

An afternoon where we saw all seasons at beautiful Bradgate Park, Leicestershire. No matter, as we were prepared!

Ruth's blue bump was just effortless to shoot - I can't wait to meet him when he arrives!

Family Walsh

A beautiful day for a location shoot in the New Forest last Sunday with Family Walsh.
