Gabby & James - February 2011

Gabby and James are getting married in just 5 weeks time. I have them to credit for my recent transition into the world of wedding photography. Their beautiful pictures were taken in the same location that they got engaged, and the date for their session was February 14th - how romantic! Gabby virtually froze to death as it was blowing a gale on our little hill, but I think it was all worth it as Gabby looked wonderful!

These are my favourite pictures from our session together. I love the beautiful early morning sun haze and the closeness of their relationship that we were able to capture. Thank you Gabby & James, I am so looking forward to May 7th.

Focus on the family...

This is where my focus has been over the last couple of months.

Sometimes family needs to be the most important priority in your life. And so, although I have been working super hard on my business, it has been a little quite round here recently. I hope to change that now. I have so many beautiful pictures to post, and lots of exciting sessions in the very near future. This year seems to be all about weddings, and whilst children's portrait photography will always be my first love, I am branching out. And I am incredibly excited about my new venture.

Happy New Year everyone!

Such a cutie...

I realise I hadn't posted more images from my session with this little cutie before Christmas. Such a gorgeous little man, and may last client for 2010.

Cute as a 'button'

On Saturday I had the privilege of taking pictures of the loveliest family, including this handsome little man. It was such a joy to be in their home. There's a special kind of feeling in a home when a new baby arrives - a calm, warm, peaceful feeling, and this home was just full of that kind of love.

It was also wonderful to photograph a little boy, I haven't done that since Nathaniel was little and I so enjoyed it. He was so good for me too, a wonderful sleeper, and didn't mind too much being moved and cuddled. I am now enjoying edited this little man's pictures, and look forward to being done soon.
