It was a little over a year ago that I first had a chat with the lovely Nuray at Tilian Kids UK. She was about to open her new baby clothes shop on Walcot Street in Bath and needed a photographer to set up her online shop. Nuray and I clicked straightaway as she enthusiastically talked about her hand-made, ethical products. I could instantly see how the beautiful sustainable clothing and high quality toys and gifts for babies and young children would no doubt appeal to my clients. Nuray explained that the inspiration for Tilian Kids wass taken from her love of nature and how the clothes she s ..read more

Amongst all of Bristol baby photographers, I am well known for my neutral, timeless style. No over the top backdrops, no overload of props. I want baby to be centre stage of his baby photos. A beautiful newborn photo should remind you of all of the wonderful details about your baby. It’s all about the freshness of this new bundle you’ve just brought into the world, not about the props. Sometimes, it will be about that tuft of hair, or the baby fuzz on the shoulder. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a good prop. But to me accessories have to show off your baby, not the other way around. A beauti ..read more

Many congratulations on your new baby! I was very much looking forward to capturing your new little one in the first couple of weeks of her life, but unfortunately, 2020 had other ideas! First please let me reassure you: Whilst the very curly, sleepy newborn photographs you have seen will have been taken in the first 10 days, it is always possible to capture gorgeous photos of your newborn baby. I have photographed many babies in the newborn style up to 8 weeks of age, and in a more relaxed way past the 2 months mark. It is never too late to get professional photos and I will be delighted to ..read more

It was such a pleasure to photograph baby Harmony! Her mummy made the short journey from her home near Bath to come to see me for her little girl’s first photographs. Harmony was asleep when she arrived, enabling me to get beautiful photos of her curled up snoozing peacefully. She started to wake up towards the end of her session, switching between sleepy smiles and absolutely stunning wide awake eye contact. Scroll to the bottom for those wonderful shots of Harmony awake! It’s never too early to book your newborn photography session. Most mums to be contact me at the beginning of ..read more
