And the winner of the best newborn and family photographer in Birmingham and the West Midlands is …

Newborn photographer Birmingham Cake smash photographer Birmingham Family photographer Birmingham

Let me tell you the story.

Back in July 2023, I received an email from a luxury services magazine to say they had received a number of nominations for my business. So firstly, thank you to everyone who had nominated me!

I then had to accept the nominations and submit a number of my photos alongside my Google reviews (again thank you to everyone who posts reviews – they really do help!).

Following this, a group of people in the magazine put the nominations together with the reviews and examples of my work and compare to other companies in the West Midlands that have also been nominated.

I honestly cannot believe that I won! It’s so exciting!

It definitely goes to show that hard work, training and developing my craft is all worth it.

Thank you to all my clients who have trusted me to take your newborn, maternity, family and cake smash photos this year. What an incredible 2023 I have had.

Looking forward to seeing so many more families in 2024.

Back To School Minis Sutton Coldfield

Back To School Minis

How are we at this point in the academic year already?

New school places have been allocated and we are about to head into the final half term of the school year.

This year has flown by!

Don’t let craziness of this half term mean you end up missing out on one of my limited Back To School Mini Sessions.

Having heard many of my clients say they couldn’t get sibling school photos for various reason, this year I have introduced the Sibling School Session.

This includes individual sets for each sibling (up to 3) and a group sibling photo too. So you can record those moments together as a family and get that perfect Christmas present sorted before school even starts!

If your little one is starting Reception in September, we can also include a nursery graduation photo too!

What do you need to bring?

Your child(ren) will need to come to the studio in their full school uniform.

Remember, shoes may be on show in some of the photographs.

If you want to bring a teddy, your child’s favourite book and their school bag to include as props, that would be lovely.

Maternity Photoshoot – Capturing the start of your little one’s journey

by admin | 1 Mar 2023 | Blog, Uncategorized

Maternity photoshoots are becoming very popular right now and I can see why!

Capturing the very start of your little one’s legacy is one of the most important milestones in their journey.

“I’m not used to being infront of the camera. What if I am nervous?”

Don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous at the photoshoot and it’s my job to help make you and your partner feel comfortable.

At our consultation meeting before the session, we can discuss your ideas, colours and vibes for your maternity photoshoot. We can talk through any questions you may have and what you will need to bring with you.

Is my partner allowed in the photos too?

Absolutely! It’s a joint journey that you have been on to get here and I feel it so important for your little one to have you both in the images.

We will, naturally, be taking photographs of you on your own too.

Whilst I don’t have outfits for men, I just ask them to bring in a white top, a black top and to wear jeans. Be mindful of boxers too as the band on the boxers may show above the jeans so don’t wear the tatty ones – get your best Calvin’s out.

Do I have to be naked?

This is a question I get asked a LOT!

No, you don’t if you don’t want to. Some of the dresses do open at the bump to allow you to be fully clothed but to show off your bump.

We always start with the big dresses. You will always be wearing pants (unless you choose not to) and I have nipple covers for you to use during the session. Any nude images will be taken tastefully and it will be all about the bump.

Back To School Minis 2021

by admin | 2 Aug 2021 | Blog, Mini Session, Sessions

It’s August now and my Back To School Minis are live and ready for booking.

Not only is this a fun activity to do during the holidays, these images create that snapshot of exactly how our child was when they started this new school year in September.

If you’re like me, I forget those small things about my kids. I forget exactly how they are and what they liked. And this, as a Mum, is what I love about this photography session. This is why it’s one of my favourite mini sessions that I do.

As the chalkboards are digital, I can change them up and adapt them to suit the age of your child. This makes them perfect for nursery starters, Reception starters, starting a new school, going into a new year group or even going to Secondary school.

The mini session lasts about 20 minutes. You’ll need

full school uniform

school bag

teddy

favourite book

You can reserve your session by booking on the following link
