Stuart and Donna returned to the studio yesterday for a few more pictures (we ran out of time at the last session). I’m sure Luka, their son, had grown since I last saw him a couple of weeks ago! Here are a few shots from the shoot.
… and then “The 9 faces of Luka”.
This morning Stuart and Donna headed over to the studio from Wendover (nr Tring) with there gorgeous new baby boy. Luka is seven weeks old and very cute 
, he posed well for the camera!
Here are some photos from the shoot:
Tilly and her mum, Hilary, returned to the studio for another photo shoot. Tilly last visited when she was 4 months old, since then she has learnt to sit up very confidently and has grown very quickly, she is now a little over 8 months old and looks even more like her elder sister!
Here’s cute little Tilly.
We decided on a name for our new daughter – Sophie. As you might expect, Sophie was the youngest baby to visit the studio for a newborn portrait. This is her at 3 days old!
Just 3 days Old
Karen is having a tough time deciding which of these three high key portraits is the one!
Which picture would you pick for a framed portrait?

Here’s one more high key studio portrait for Karen and Dan to see ahead of their viewing.

Harry at 3 weeks
Today I met a beautiful young family from Radlett. Dan, Karen and their gorgeous newborn baby Harry arrived at the studio this morning for a portrait shoot. Harry was very sweet and had a sparkle in his eyes.
After a short chat about the shoot, clothes and a look at some possible poses, we commenced the shoot. We spent about 60% of the time with a high key set up, white background and soft lighting. Once that part was completed, and after Harry filled his tummy, we swapped over to a black background and more directional lighting.
Mum and Harry
I hope mum and dad like these early pictures, they’re hot off the press. Dan is heading overseas very soon for work and so I’m working hard on post-processing all the images from the shoot so we can be ready for a viewing before he leaves.
Dad and Harry
Karen mentioned that she wished she had some maternity portraits before the birth of Harry – if you are expecting, please check out the maternity portrait page and blog articles to see the kind of work I do in this area.
Baby Passport Photos
> Baby Passport Photo Packages <
I had an interesting call today. A gentleman rang this afternoon asking if I did passport photos for babies, he’d been ringing around the Hemel Hempstead area, trying to find someone who could help him. His call brought back memories of when I applied for passports for our two boys. You get the passport application form and think you’re all set, but no, you need to get two photos, one certified. Erm, but how do I get a photo of my baby when they don’t even sit up yet? Hands can’t be visible, their head must appear the right size, etc
Anyway, I’ve now added a baby passport photograph service to my repertoire.
UPDATE: I now provide passport photos for all the family and can also tailor the photos for USA, Canadian and other coutries specifications.
Sweet young lady!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a family from Harpenden, Sam and Darren brought their 7 month old daughter and Sam’s parents to the studio for some family portraits.
Baby Emily was so cute and such a pretty young lady! She seemed to enjoy posing for the camera and had lots of patience with me.
For the first time, I had an assistant in the studio, Emily’s grandfather, he very kindly attracted her attention with a prop I keep to hand – a singing Eeyore who has ears that clap! Many thanks for your help!
I’ve been busy processing the pictures from the shoot, here are a few for mum and dad. I’ll be in touch soon to arrange your viewing.
