Mini session photoshoots. Child photographer, Sudbury photographer, covering Colchester, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Chelmsford, Cambridge and London, beautiful family photos.

I was delighted to do a mini shoot for these beautiful girls and was waiting on their Daddy receiving his canvas for his birthday so I can share the images! Aren't they just adorable.

 As you can see even with a mini session the images we achieved were just stunning, there were in fact over 60 images in this Mummy's gallery! Glad I didn't have to choose them! The girls are wearing a selection of my child and baby wear from KITTYS BOUTIQUE, who supply most of my outfits, halos and headbands for newborn shoots and styled shoots. I love the colourings in these images, wispy soft gentle images. Their Daddy loved his canvas.

 Mini sessions are a fab way of getting some up to date images of your children or family at a lower price if you are on a budget. Whilst I don't compete with newer photographers that don't have the overheads that I do to run my business properly. These mini sessions are a lot more affordable for those on a budget, but you still receive stunning, pin sharp, beautifully posed and styled images and it's  a way to have maybe one or two shoots over the year as children change significantly every 6 months or so up until the age of 4 or 5. The same love and attention to detail goes into these images as they do at full length session, I edit the images that are picked whereas a normal session I edit a full gallery for a parent to choose from.

Mini sessions are always taken at my home studio in Sudbury, Suffolk, I am within an hours drive from London, Chelmsford, within 20 minutes of Halstead, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, Ipswich, Nayland, Leavenheath. I am fully insured and risk assess my sessions beforehand, I only use the gentlest fabrics, and ethically source my hats and other products. There is no attention to detail spared. I am passionate about delivering creative artwork encapsulating your most precious possessions. Their little expressions, mannerisms, laughs and love. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, however the sessions are always fun, luckily my many years of experience in the Industry means I know how these sometimes tricky customers work! You can see the girls loved their session.

Suffolk Essex and London beautiful baby photography

These photos are from a standard newborn session, sessions are never rushed,

and we take it at babies pace. With plenty of time for feeding and soothing. I am often told just how patient I am! You have to be these little people can't be rushed. With this Colchester photography session, older brother didn't really want baby anywhere near him, so when he fell asleep, his Daddy quickly positioned him on my beanbag and then held baby in place so we could get a shot of these two little angels snoozing, Dad's hands have been edited out. This isn't something I would normally do in a newborn session, usually we can find a way to composite or maybe a teeny bit or persuading to get sibling shots. 

Mum loved her images from this shoot, in fact she is a repeat customer. And sent me the cutest little baby hats as a gift to say thank you, I truly am blessed to capturing people most precious memories of their newborns. And meeting some wonderful people. The video below shows a few of the shots we managed from this session. Showing just how varied and creative it can be, each session is unique to each client.

Fine art photography - Suffolk/Essex child and baby photographer.

I had the pleasure of these two beauties in the studio last week during the ever popular mini sessions, usually cuddling is the last thing they have in mind, but I managed to get this gorgeous image for Mum and Dad. They really do look like they adore each other!  To see more of my work click HERE!

Backdrop is from the new fine art range from the amazing PROPS FOR TOGS.
Made the process on the background very quick and easy, which left me lots of time to play with those gorgeous faces and lots of dodging and burning in photoshop.
I love photographing babies, but my other absolute heaven is photographing children.

In August I was delighted to meet this beautiful family. After an unsettled start, we managed to get the most incredible photo's. Mum had a real vision of what she wanted her shoot to turn out like, and I try really hard to incorporate families tastes into the shoot, so ordered this gorgeous russet/burnt orange backdrop specially in if you are looking for backdrops check out PRECIOUS BUNDLES. The black and white images are a matter of taste, I do try to provide a selection of colour and black and white images with each session unless parents don't like B&W. With this families images, there was just so much emotion, and I decided to do an old school b&w conversion. Dodging and burning. And playing around with exposure and levels, the b&w in this blog post took an hour to get to where I wanted but was totally worth all the work. This lovely family travelled from Essex for their photoshoot which isn't far up the road from me, being on the Suffolk border, I am truly blessed to be chosen to capture precious memories. And try to ensure I capture the emotion of that new family member completing your family. Suddenly this little person comes along and turns your whole life upside down. Your heart beats for them. You would do anything in the world for them.To see more of my work click here!
