Celebrations!

It was the start of the wedding season for me last week - and what better way to start it than with a surprise wedding!!

May 1st was a special day in so many ways - it was wee Angus' Naming Day! I photographed Angus as a newborn and it was so lovely to see him all grown up with his friends and family around to witness his day.  Not only that, but his mum and dad sprang a big surprise on everyone by tying the knot too!! The celebrations were held at Ochiltrees, in the grounds of Abbotsford House, Melrose.

It was a day full of emotion and I am proud to have been a part of it to capture it for the family.  The day was truly all about each and every one of them.  Perfect attention to details with lego-men button holes, matching shades and fantastic Converse trainers.  There was lots of love, laughter and happiness.  A perfect day - congratulations once again to everyone and thank you so much for having me along!

Seeing Red!

I had a wonderful maternity shoot over the weekend! An absolutely gorgeous family, who are expecting their baby girl very soon. Mum-to-be dressed in a show-stopping red maternity gown and we used a really natural setting to make the colours pop!  I love the photos and I can't wait for our next shoot when little babba arrives!

Big thanks to the land owner for use of the land.

Beautiful Little Eva....

What utter gorgeousness!! We had a completely natural shoot for little Eva - nothing too posed, just simple, perfect little detail shots that speak for themselves.

My Generation....

Young Brodie returned to the studio this weekend and with him he brought his Grandma, Mary!  It was a delight to photograph them both together and Mary was such a lovely and interesting lady - I could have chatted to her all day!  I love this set of photographs showing the two generations.  A simple set of black and white images, such wonderful memories to treasure!

Sunny Days

Well, what a week we have had! It's really felt like the start of summer for most of us!

It was a delight to take full advantage and welcome back a lovely family that I photographed just over a year ago, when their little bundle of fun arrived! Now he is tottering around and exploring the great outdoors - making the most of the glorious sunshine on a beautiful spring afternoon!

Tiptoe...through the Daffodils!

I had the most adorable photoshoot on Saturday! Everything came together just brilliantly - a lovely family, a beautiful little girl, a stunning location and the weather was just right - A perfect spring day for a perfect photoshoot! An extra special thanks goes to the landowner for allowing me to use such a stunning location!

....A Little Boy with a Spring in His Step!!

What a brilliant outdoor shoot I had on Saturday!! Three lovely ladies (a mum and her two daughters) and Calvin - a very cheeky chappy who kept me on my toes throughout the entire shoot! What a little superstar....and oh, soooo cute!!!

Everything's Rosie!

I love a good pet portrait!! Especially when that pet is a lovely, well behaved dog such as Rosie! She was perfect and made for a seamless shoot!! She definitely brought the sunshine with her!

Happy Birthday Lewes!

Today was my little boy's first birthday!! We didn't do a cake smash - instead I took him out to the woods for a little adventure in the beautiful snowdrops!  He was full of soil by the end of the shoot - but that didn't matter, it was all good fun!

Let's Celebrate!

This weekend gorgeous Katie Rose helped me celebrate as my studio turned one!  It was also this very special little girl's first birthday too - so we had a great time tucking into a wonderful cake made by the fabulous Zoe Taylor!

Mum's The Word....

I just love capturing those tender moments between parent and child; they're so special and deserve to be preserved for a lifetime!  This shoot was wonderful - full of love and cute wee smiles! Love my job!

Kids being kids!

I know I say it again and again, but I do really love to welcome back past clients and their children! It is so lovely to see how they are growing into little characters! The three children I had at the Vanilla Moon studio this weekend were certainly no exception! Full of cheeky smiles, mischief and above all, lots of fun!
