Toddler Photography St.Albans

Recently I collaborated with Carli Spokes, founder of Created By Carli, who makes all things pretty and girlie. Everything is handmade by Carli herself and most of her items are one of a kind, so if you see something you like grab it quick!
Carli also makes newborn hats and cocoons which I use in my shoots.
(Check out her Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CreatedByCarli?ref=si_shop)

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect model than little Katie. Fearless of the camera and big lights she came in and rocked all of Carli's headbands, she even picked her favorite ones she wanted to model first.

Sunday Funday St.Albans Photography

When I first discovered my passion for photography I was 16. I would round up all my friends take them to fields, alley ways, cover them head to toe in paint, you name it I did it!

After turning my passion into a career/business there became a lot of expectation, and don't get me wrong I absolutely love what I do and watching a clients face when they first see their pictures for the first time is still priceless and always will be, however I feel sometimes I need to take myself out of the studio or clients home and go do something out of my comfort zone and fun!

That's why I created Sunday Funday. Most (because sometimes I just want to sleep!) Sundays I find a willing victim to let me photograph them. 

A couple of weeks ago an old school friend, Clay, and I went down to a woods in Wheathampstead to photograph him and his baby... HIS BIKE!  We spent hours shooting in different locations and even ended up filming. As the sunset Clay decided to jump off his bike and mount a suspended tree, at which point my camera decided enough was enough and died on me (how unprofessional!)

Below are some snaps from the day!

Children's Photography, Welwyn

A few weeks ago I got to take advantage of this beautiful summer weather on a lovely shoot with Bodie and Lola at their home in Welwyn.

This shoot was all about natural photographs of the children. They lead me around both individually and collectively showing me their beautiful garden, which I was quick to learn is inhabited with lots of different species!

Bodie (5) was first to present to me a butterfly sitting on his finger, followed by a frog that (very calmly) sat in the palm of his hand, he then showed me his party trick... putting the frog on his head! However little 2 year old Lola stole the show as she adorably walked me around to different flowers, stopped and posed, I couldn't have asked for a better model.

Newborn & Toddler Photography St.Albans

I first met Louisa and Terry last year when I photographed their one year old son Zachary. A year later and I'm back with Lou and family welcoming in their latest addition, Hugo.

We had our photoshoot one summers morning at their house, starting off focusing mainly on Hugo, capturing those peaceful moments of a newborn. We then introduced Zachary who absolutely loves being in front of the camera! Being the dotting big brother there were many kisses and cuddles for Hugo, or as Zach likes to say 'Oogo'.

Toddler St.Albans Studio Photography

The other week I got to photograph 3 adorable little girls. 3 year old Amelia and her 1 1/2 year old twin sisters Lilliana and April. This isn't my first time with the girls as I got to photograph them newborn and at their christening.

It was all fun and games in the studio, lots of giggling whilst trying to get two very independent twin sisters to sit together and smile!

When the twins went off for a banana and juice break I got a few moments with Amelia happily sitting in front of the camera chatting away.
