No matter how pregnant women claim to look/feel awful while they are expecting, I personally think there is nothing as beautiful as pregnancy curves.

And this lovely lady is no exception to it. With less than three more weeks to go for Baby Number 3 to arrive, Lucy made it look so breezy.

{Lucy–I had such a fun afternoon with you this week! I hope you are well and that you like this little sneak peek that I put together for you. All the best and I look forward to meeting your newborn when he comes!}

This session was a loads of fun because:

a) The weather was just perfect–not a cloud in the sky. When you live in England, this is a big deal!

b) The location, Castle Ashby Gardens in Northampton, was a photographer’s dream come true.

and

c) The family I photographed are very good friends of ours and it was more of a day out together than a portrait session!

My husband and I met Neil and Barbara in our former church in Tokyo, Japan before either couple was even married (or engaged!). Since then, we’ve seen each other get married, move to England and have children. And if we have our own way, we’ll probably marry off our firstborns in 20-something years’ time! (Gavin and Aeyen will probably hate us for all this craziness though!)

And just for fun, here are a few funny outtakes that I just love!

Was there something on my head?!!!

Neil, being…. well, Neil.

Gavin and Aeyen, herding (ie torturing) the ducks!

{Neil and Barbara–I am so glad I finally got to photograph you and the kids! You all looked gorgeous and we really enjoyed spending the day with you. I hope you like these as much as I do. Speak to you soon!}

I had a great time photographing this family last week! I first met Claire at a mum’s exercise class one year ago and I remember photographing her with her daughter, Sara, amongst the lovely bluebells in the spring. Later that year, in the summer, I photographed her again with her newborn son, Kaleb. And now, a year later, I finally get the big picture and photographed the whole family!

{Claire and Yan–I hope you like this sneak peek of your session! Your family was such a joy to photograph….. Speak to you soon!}

Hello, hello! I am back from a very long break from blogging! I have a few photos from sessions in the past few weeks that I just haven’t posted over the summer holiday. I promise to back-track and post them in the next days to come.

It’s definitely raining babies! Since the start of August, I have had NINE friends who have given birth! Some of them are friends here where I live and the others are scattered all over the world. I am so excited for all these women! I wish I had my own personal jet so I can just go and photograph these new babes!

One baby who didn’t require me to fly is Baby Henry. He is the beautiful little boy of my friend, Amy, who lives just down the street from me. It was such a pleasure to photograph both of them during Henry’s first week. I am hoping to take more photos in the next few days of this little man with his two older brothers.

{Amy–Thank you so much for asking me to photograph the latest addition to your beautiful family! I hope you enjoy these and I will definitely be coming back to take more photos of the three boys all together…. See you soon!}
