Photo Shoot with a 1 Year Old

Over the past year I have done two photo shoots with Alfie. The first was as a newborn and then I went back when he was sitting. As he was turning 1 it was time to do the last photo shoot making the first year of his life. He was having a first birthday party at Ray Lodge Farm s I arranged to go along before the party and do some fairly informal shots of Alfie with his Mum and Dad.

I really enjoyed doing these shots and it has been fantastic to see how much Alfie has changed during this first year of his life. Congratulations, also, to Caroline and Julian who are expecting their second baby next year.

These are some of my favourites from the day...

Newborn Photo Shoot

Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a newborn photo shoot with baby Alyssa. She is the daughter of Iain's niece and she has to be the most content baby I have ever met. She was joined in the photo shoot by Mum (Theresa), Dad (Will) and her older brother (Tyler).

I have been lucky enough to do several baby photo shoots over the past few weeks and I really do love being able to capture these memories of such early stage in a baby's life. Alyssa was so content that I thought we weren't going to get any images at all with her awake. You certainly need lots of patience when doing this type of photography! Anyway, we got there in the end and I really do love the results. What a truly gorgeous addition to the family...

We will do the next photo shoot at around 3 months, then when she is sitting and the last one will be when she is standing/walking. I can't wait to see how she changes and develops over the next year.

Newborn Photo Shoot

This week we had the pleasure of doing a newborn photo shoot with a baby who was only 9 days old. She was absolutely gorgeous and we had no crying at all. She was asleep to begin with but she woke up later on and we managed to get some shots with her eyes open.

This is the first of 3 photo shoots we will do in the first year of her life. The second one will take place when she is sitting and I can't wait to go back and see what she is like then. These are some of my favourites from the day...

Baby Photo Shoot - East Grinstead

Yesterday I had a photo shoot with the most adorable little girl. Her Mum, Sharon, is one of the people who run Flowerbug Designs in East Grinstead. Their workshop is just a few doors away from us and we refer business to each other where possible. They will also quite often pop round to our studio for a chat and a cup of coffee - and sometimes even cake!

I had been asked if we would be willing to give a portrait shoot as a competition prize by a publication and they needed a sample image to create a poster. As the session would be against a white backdrop we very quickly needed to create one. Sharon's little girl has been round to our studio a few times and she is just gorgeous. I have been really keen to do a session with her for ages. We spent about half an hour today and managed to get some really cute pictures. In fact, I think Sharon loved all of them. Here are some of my favourites. Any feedback or comments are welcome.

Baby Photo Shoot - 9 month old

I did a photo session yesterday with Alfie who is an incredibly cute 9 month old baby. I did his first session when he was only about 3 weeks old and he has changed such a lot in that time. He now looks like a little boy rather than a baby. I was amazed at how tolerant he was as the shoot took about two hours and he was still really happy at the end. In fact, I think he saved his best smiles for the time after I had packed my cameras away! These are some of my favourites from the day and I would love to receive any feedback or comments.

The photo shoot took place at Ray Lodge Farm and I want to thank Sheila for letting us use her wonderful surroundings.

More fun [blogged by Iain]

As Louise said in her previous post, we're focusing on development in March. Normally, Louise is the one doing the baby photo sessions, so we decided it was time I got some more practice. I would like to thank Russell and Niki for letting me shoot them and their lovely little daughter Yasmin this afternoon. At only seven weeks old, she was a little star and behaved perfectly throughout the session. This is a small selection of the images captured today...





...and a few in colour (although some have been worked a little)

Welcome baby Alfie

I had the absolute pleasure of being asked to take some photographs of Caroline & Julian's baby, Alfie. He is so gorgeous and only 3 weeks old. He managed really well with the session but seriously did not like being placed on his tummy. We were lucky enough to have really good weather on the day which provided some lovely natural light. Here are some of my faves from the day - all comments welcome.

Don't forget we have a Special Offer on "Newborn" sessions that is running until 10th December. Get in touch with me on 07595 044252 to find out more.
