This morning we completed a commissioned editorial shoot for a series of high-end lifestyle magazines. With no available images it was down to us to create a set of photographs that fitted the brief and gave the designer variety and layout options. Working closely with a senior member of the publishers staff who provided art direction we brainstormed some scenarios and scenes, and then sourced some models to feature in the shoot and a location.

This beautiful little girl was only 7 days old when she came in for her newborn portraits to our Hampshire based studio. We met mum, and gran at the Southampton Baby & Toddler show back in October, and they called us on arrival to arrange a session.
We have just uploaded and show the images from our most recent newborn portrait session to her parents and they are very pleased. Having posted a sneaky peek to Facebook a day or so earlier we knew that the images were getting good feedback from the parents, family and friends but they have now seen the whole gallery.
Well I just got back from the Hampshire Baby & Toddler Show in Southampton. The show started very busily, and the large cruise centre terminal filled with prams, toddlers, expectant woman and friends, dads, husbands, partners and parents. Our stand drew lots of admiring glances, and wonderful comments and we spoke to lots of people...
The second annual Hampshire Baby and Toddler Exhibition takes place this weekend on the 2nd Octovber at the City Cruise Terminal. It runs from 10am to 3:30pm and should, based on last year, be an amazing event. We will of course be attending again and will be in our regular position at stand B12, close to the refreshments area.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing this little one for his newborn baby boy portraits. He was 15 days old and with the cutest little mohawk head of hair I have ever seen.
Baby L came in for his contemporary baby photos at 10 days after birth. He arrived at our warm natural light studio with his mum and dad, and we soon got in to making photographs starting with a blue theme before moving onto a soft brown to allow us to use the cute little teddy bear hat we have in our collection, and another longer one.
Today we photographed a little four week old baby girl in the studio, for her newborn baby photographs. With most of our older newborns Baby D took a while to settle, and felt most comfortable in a little knitted cocoon but once asleep we took a series of portraits of her for her parents with the cutest of angelic expressions.
Baby Hampshire magazine have used some of our images to illustrate an article on travel routines. Found in the summer issue, on sale from the 15th May for 3 months, the article is on pages 138 – 140.
This mornings session was for a little 17 day old baby boy. I had photographed him before, albeit in his mums tummy for a location maternity portrait some weeks ago and now this Hampshire newborn was the star of the show in his first solo photo-shoot. I met his mum at the Hampshire Baby and Toddler Show in Southampton last October and we have of course kept in touch so it was lovely to be able to photograph him today.
I met Lianne and Iain early this Sunday morning for their pre-wedding shoot onboard HMS Warrior in the Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth. With crowds of visitors expecting on HMS Warrior today we arrived at opening time and made our way to the ship to avoid the sightseers and get some relaxed images onboard HMS Warrior which...
This mornings newborn portrait session was for one of our wedding clients from 2009. It was great to see them again, and also to meet their brand new little girl.
Todays portrait was of a sleepy little boy of 30 days brought in to our Hampshire studio by his mum and dad for a fine art newborn photography session. Once asleep this little man was a complete star.
This afternoon I spent some time with Kirsty and her lovely family at their farm in Hampshire for some location maternity portraits. I met Kirsty at the Hampshire Baby and Toddler Show back in October of 2010 when she visited our stand showcasing our fine art newborn portraits, and fell in love with them. We have kept in touch during her pregnancy and arranged this week to take some bump photographs, and were blessed with some warm spring weather.
Todays studio session was one of our fine art newborn photography portraits with a little 12 day old baby girl. Keen to get some skin to skin photographs with dad we got some sleeping newborn images in the bag and then switched to the backdrop to get these very tender photographs.
