A Little Vintage Love...

Do you remember the Kim Anderson posters and greeting cards from the 80's? My sister and I loved them, we had more than a few stuck up on our walls. I was asked to recreate the look with these gorgeous children, and with the styling and their cute cute faces I couldn't exactly fail, now could I? Once again the fabulous Vintage Kiss Me Hard action proves itself, giving these the perfect amount of grungy vintage nostalgia.

The Best Way to Start the Year...

...is by having a family like this to photograph! These boys are as sweet as they look, little e. has the cutest voice and I could have eaten him up when I heard him singing Jingle Bells, little d. was so good, and just loved the sheepskin! Thanks N & D for letting me capture your family portraits, I had a blast!

Fun Cousins!

I shot these sweet cousins last year, but because the photos were to be a surprise Christmas gift for their grandmother, the family asked me not to post them here before she'd seen her gift.
Well, we are now weeks after Christmas, and I'm finally getting back into the swing of things so here they are! Oh for the lovely weather again, I'm so ready for this winter to move on now.

Gosh it's been a while...

I haven't shared new shots in so long. I have actually taken a bit of a breather from photography because this time of year is always so insanely busy for everyone. added to that, this English winter light just doesn't help.I'm either going to have to get a set of lights or hold off until spring!
I have one family that I'll share after Christmas, the photos are gifts and they don't want to spoil the surprise before then. In the meantime, here are a couple of my favourites from a recent session.

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice...

Thank you to the delightful miss f. and her family for their patience waiting for their proofs. I had such a tough time editing these down, so I'm afraid they have quite a few to choose from!
After not using my little Freecycle chair for ages, I've used it in three consecutive shoots now... but don't you just love the quirky and sweet way miss f sits in it? Hope you like these as much as I do ;-)

Could she be any Sweeter?

When little miss h. arrived for her session with her mum and dad, I just fell in love. She has the sweetest smile, the cutest giggle, and the cheekiest grin ever! It was so much fun working with her, even if she made her mum and dad work hard for her smiles. There are actually lots of smiley pics, It seems that I've selected more serious shots to post here. Perhaps I'll grab a smiley one...

A Windy newborn...

...makes for the sweetest smiles in a photo session! This little guy's mum assures me that he hadn't started smiling yet, but was full of wind for his shoot. I'm not so sure, he sure looks happy to see his daddy!
