I was primarily photographing today on my flower fairy swing in my garden, but this gorgeous little girl dressed as a fairy was loving the shoot so much, we decided to take some pictures on the grass and she asked if she could be an animal fairy. So with some creative editing, I produced this gorgeous image. Fine art fairy sessions are available in my studio Liz Wood location or on location around Suffolk, Essex, Cambridge and London. These sessions are just magical for all those little ones who love the wonder, enchantment and magic of fairies. I own a collection of dresses in varying sizes, wings, halos and props to enhance the experience, the new set is almost complete following on from the snow fairies at Christmas, with a range of beautiful ferns, flowers, a "pond", the fine art series flower fairies will be available throughout the year, and really are magical sessions that children absolutely love.

The wonderful world of newborn photography now seems to be moving into more composites! Is a composite cheating? Not at all. It suddenly gives you the advantage of endless props and colours. And the best bit is that it means when I do composite images, I don't have to pull baby around, and get them in and out of things, which means safer and less stressful shoots for babies and of course Mum's and Dad's! Of course sometimes there is a place still for putting baby into a prop safely, when there are siblings. My Harry Potter image the composite was actually my own creation and took around 12 hours (kicking myself I didn't save the background as a layer so at some point I'm going to have to recreate it.
This gorgeous little lady was not a good sleeper and pulling her around just made her upset, I've actually managed to create a beautiful and artistic and varied gallery by compositing baby onto the digital backdrop.
Ha ha! It's crazy! It's not to everyones taste, but I love it! I've had this gorgeous lily pad, water lily, I've got a frog hat and newborn to share too. I'm not even sure where the goldfish came into it, but I love this Princess and the Frog inspired newborn shoot. It's lovely being able to create some magical little stories to my own imagination. Once again the awesome Puddy Pad Designs has created some amazing felted products to fire my imagination.

I actually took this photo last year and completely forgot to edit it until last night! This gorgeous little baby, even did the best grins ever wearing the Cheshire Cat hat, maybe it's magical. I've quite a collection of Alice In Wonderland themed newborn props (well let's face it I actually have a vast collection of props full stop). I actually wasn't the greatest fan of Alice In Wonderland when I was little, but the characters are just superb, I just need to keep searching as I have a group photo idea of lots of little newborns, but the right prop hasn't turned up yet in my searches. Sometimes it can take me a couple of years to source whatever I have in my head.

I've been wanting to do my own take on a Harry Potter newborn shoot - there are so many elements to Harry Potter I wanted to create something magical. Props are a bit of an issue in the Uk, and so of course my go to incredibly talented felted prop maker loved my idea and created me something extremely special - PUDDY PAD DESIGNS, the only issue is the waiting for it to arrive from America. This young lady was my model for the day, so technically it's more a Harriet Potter! But we'll just make pretend it's Harry for now. This beautiful little baby was very unsettled on the day. I couldn't get her into the position I wanted and so I had to rethink slightly how I wanted to create this image. My inspiration was the enchanted dinner hall from Hogwarts with the magical night sky, I was going for floating candles but I feel they took away your eye being pulled to this gorgeous baby, and ultimately, an image should be about that gorgeous little face so I placed the candles on the floor. This shoot took about 12 hours to edit, as there were so many elements I pulled together to make it work, but I think I'm a little bit in love with this gorgeous image.
