I love a good outdoor shoot - and it is true that they are few and far between this time of year! That didn't stop us this weekend however! A crisp and frosty morning made for a great setting for this wonderful family!! Bobble-hats, snuggly warm coats and cheeky toddler smiles completed a perfect shoot!

Beautiful Amelie visited my studio recently. She loved nothing more than to have a wee stretch, settling into a peaceful slumber - what a lovely moment to capture!

Newborn shoots are among my favourite to do. It's a real privilege to share in that moment when everything is brand new. The overwhelming feelings and emotions between parent, baby and sibling. It brings it all flooding back to when my babies were brand new too. So I know how important it is to capture it.
I love to take my time and set up shots, making sure everything perfect so that mum and dad have some beautiful images to look back upon for years to come. Memories to cherish. Sometimes, though, it is that split second moment that you have to capture before it is gone forever. Like the unmistakable connection between sisters that presents itself. That's where the skill of a photographer comes into its own. This wonderful little shoot had many moments - but two in particular I think, really sum up the love for a newborn baby and the pride of an older sibling.

I certainly can't complain about going back to work! My maternity leave has finished, and what better way to return than having two brand new babies visit the studio!
Each one completely and utterly adorable!! I do LOVE my job!!

Recently a group of mums in Peebles and Innerleithen got together to support Project Paddington; a way to help refugee children via sponsorship of a teddy bear, which then makes it's way to a child in need of some comfort. It is a great way to raise awareness and funds where they're needed.
Today, Happy Feet in Peebles took part in a Teddy Bear's Picnic, to help raise awareness. The kids had a great time getting their face-painting by Joanne Rorison and then devouring lots of scrummy-yummy cakes and biscuits, along with their teddy-companions!
Below is a small selection of images from the day. You can view more on the gallery (if you were present at the picnic please email me to obtain a password). Any profits made from prints sold from the gallery will be donated to Project Paddington.
If you would like to sponsor one of our bears, before it makes it's way to a refugee child, please get in touch! Alternatively we can send you a sponsor form and name tag, so that you or a child can send a bear of their own.
Maternity shoots are one of my favourites - and even more so when the mum-to-be also announces that she has just got engaged! I loved this shoot - double celebrations for this happy couple!

A warm welcome to the studio for little baby Hugo and his mum & dad. Hugo was almost 4 weeks of age when he came to visit me - such a gorgeous, alert little fella! We got some wonderful, classic black and white images of him. Such precious memories! :)

I can't quite believe my little man has turned six months!! It doesn't seem five minutes ago that I was announcing his birth to the world!
Happy half birthday little fella - you and your sister fill my world with such happiness :) X
....Well, technically boots! My little girl is obsessed with Doc Martens. Much like I was when I was a kid! I couldn't resist a little photoshoot to celebrate the most recent addition to her ever growing wardrobe!
To this special little man!!
This was the final shoot in our trilogy and I have seen this little boy grow from newborn, six months and now one year. It has been a real honour for me to capture him as he has reached new milestones along the way :)

This has to be one of my favourite family newborn shots so far. I love the tenderness and gentleness of both parents for their precious newborn. A perfect moment captured forever :)
