Katie brought her two girls to the studio for a shoot. Big sister Amelia was 3 and her little sister, Jessica, just 4 months – they were lovely and great fun to photograph!
Berkhamsted mum, Hilary and her newest family addition, Tilly, visited the studio for a portrait shoot this morning. Tilly’s older brother and sister had Cherub photos taken when they were young and Hilary wanted something similar for this cute little lady.
Tilly's been hiding?
After mum and I had discussed the shoot, off came Tilly’s clothes and she got comfortable in front of the camera. Here are a selection of shots from the session.
Beautiful eyes
She's so cute!
Newborn baby
This weekend I had the pleasure to meet a wonderful young couple with their new, new baby. They arrived from Watford on Saturday morning proudly carrying their 3 week old beautiful baby girl. After a chat and having reviewed some example newborn pictures, the shoot commenced, little M didn’t seem to mind, she was still asleep and so I took advantage of this creating compositions with her lying down on her own, still and peaceful.
A beautiful moment
After a while, M woke, a little hungry; I remember those days, newborns asleep apart from when they are feeding 
… after a feed, we continued and mum, whose valentines surprise this was, joined her daughter on the stage. It was a pleasure to be working, seeing mum and daughter enjoying each other’s presence, seeing the happiness in a new mother’s eyes; who can call this work?
A proud father
As the studio session progressed, dad, who arranged the shoot as a Valentines present, joined the rest of his family on the stage, there were some wonderful intimate moments the emotion of which I hope I have done justice in the images I captured.
Another feed, a change of tops and another backdrop – I set up the studio with a black backdrop and a different lighting configuration, gone were the soft boxes and out with the brollies and a snoot. This section of the shoot followed a similar shooting plan as the first half (oops, yes I usually like to have a plan for a shoot), but the compositions were a little different to make the most of the directional, moody lighting.
