Newborn Photo Shoots Bradford | West Yorkshire   A few months ago I captured a wonderful newborn session for little Ariya and her parents. During a newborn photo session I take a range of shots around the home, usually set in little ones nursery with a few snuggled up shots too. Sessions are very natural and there’s plenty of time for an outfit change, cuddles and feeds. After the shoot I edit the best images (around 40) in my signature...

Newborn Photographer Halifax West Yorkshire   At the start of the year I had the pleasure of capturing newborn Aria and her family at their home. I tend to start the session in little ones nursery – shots in their cot, with parents and some snuggled up ones too, and I encourage families to include their own personal items such as handmade blankets, soft toys or gifts. Newborn sessions can last up to an hour, are very natural without too...

Cake Smash Photographer Leeds | Chocolate Cake Smash   Chocolate cake has to be one of the best types to use for a smash as it’s super messy and looks great in the photos. For this cake smash photo session, I began taking a few portraits on the bright blue backdrop before setting the scene with bunting, a little suitcase and ONE letters. Parents are welcome to include their own items too and of course a cake. After the session...

Cake Smash Photographer Bradford | Rainbow Theme   I’ve been super busy over the summer, but I had to share a few from a recent rainbow themed cake smash. A session lasts up to an hour and starts with a few portraits before I set up for the smash. I have a range of background options, including a neutral one as seen here, a bright pink and a bright blue. I also bring along various bunting – love the new...

Cake Smash Photographer Bradford | Twins   Where has this past year gone!? It only seems a few months ago I was taking Sophia & Freya’s newborn photographs, and now it’s their first birthday! It’s such a privilege to be invited back time after time to capture this family and their milestones. Here are a few of my favourites from the session  

Family Photography Halifax | Norland Moor   Up on the moors has to be one of my new favourite locations for the family sessions, especially during the evening as the sun goes down. I’ve known Andrea since we were nine years old and I’ve photographed her family many times over the years, mainly in a studio style, so it was fab to capture Andrea and her boys in a different setting, without the restrictions of a backdrop and poses.  ...

Maternity Photographer Halifax West Yorkshire   Maternity sessions take place either on location or at home and I usually advise Mums-to-be to book a date in once they’re 30+ weeks. Ideally I take a range of shots in little ones nursery and around the home using the available light – Hazel’s home has such wonderful light, checkout those fab windows! Family members and children are also welcome to join in for the photos and this often makes the images appear...

Newborn Photography Bradford | Albie   The newborn sessions are set in and around your home and are very natural in their approach. I try to include portraits with siblings and parents alongside simple photographs of little ones in their nurseries. There’s plenty of time for feeds and cuddles and I try to keep outfit changes to a minimum. Although the session is simple, I do have a few wraps and blankets plus headbands for the girls and encourage parents...

Newborn Photography West Yorkshire | Sophie   One of the best parts of the job is being invited back time after time, to capture a growing family, so I was thrilled to meet little Sophie a few weeks ago. For the first session of The New Baby Deal, I take a range of photos around the home, including some with siblings and parents. Sessions are very natural and relaxed, allowing time for feeds and cuddles. Here are a few highlights...

Cake Smash Photography Bradford | Pink & Gold Theme   For the final session of the New Baby Deal package, Polly had a pink and gold themed cake smash, complete with a wonderful homemade cake – I’ve found over the years that a simple cake topped with fruit is often more popular with little ones, than a cake covered in super sugary frosting. As always, I started the session with time for portraits, before setting up for the smash. Polly’s...
