Moving.. Weddings.. Chaos.. AKA Life recently.

August 28, 2013 | SallyT

The past few weeks have been such a blur, which is why it’s been a little quiet around here. Here is a little breakdown of what’s been going on..

Gorgeous couple Sarah and Lee married at Hall Garth in Darlington in an outdoor ceremony.. they smiled like this all day long..

Kirsty and Mark ran away to the Lake District and married in front of a handful of family and friends in a secret ceremony, then we went for a boat ride around Lake Windermere..

I met Harry! I photographed Bryde and Rob’s wedding last August, their maternity shoot a month or so ago and 10-day-old Harry this weekend. Scrummy.

A family shoot within a birthday party.. lots of bouncing and bubbles.. wonderful chaos.

My own not-so-little Vivienne turned four.. I still can’t believe it. She’s a dream.

We moved house and traded Middlesbrough for Leeds. We’ve been in this house for a few years, and although I never particularly liked it, it’s now full of our memories. Vivienne has grown up a lot here and I think she was pretty sad to leave.. especially once we explained we weren’t moving the house..

Boxes, boxes, boxes. Lots of driving up and down between Middlesbrough and Leeds. Last date night in Middlesbrough with Dav. Stolen moments with Vivienne and her cousins. LOTS of food.

It’s been tough but I’m really excited to see how we make Leeds ‘our place’.. the boxes won’t get unpacked for weeks no doubt.. and while we’ve been so busy Vivienne has been having adventures with grandparents in London and the Lake District.. she’s having a wonderful Summer but unfortunately we don’t have a huge amount of time to share as many parts of it as we’d like at the moment. Every time I see her I could eat her, and can’t wait until we settle in and back into more of a (as much as I thought I hated this word) routine. Hope you’re all enjoying your summers.. I have a few more weddings this weekend and a busy September.. but I promise to take more time to blog it all as I go! Happy days xx

Harvey, Oscar and Connie | Family Shoot

Running around outside doing a family shoot with these three reminded me why I love taking children out and about for photos instead of having a studio backdrop.. All rights reserved. Copyright Sally T Photography.

Bryde & Rob | Maternity Portraits

July 5, 2013December 18, 2013 | SallyT

It was amazing to se Bryde and Rob again.. I photographed their wedding last August and was blown away by what a gorgeous couple they made.. relaxed and laughing throughout a wedding day which was all about them, their family and friends. Bryde emailed asking whether I’d be interested in doing some ‘bump and baby’ portraits (which is a new package I’ll be working on and revealing details of soon) and I jumped at the chance to catch up with them and get some photographs of them both at this stage..

Here are the results of the first half of their bump-to-baby portraits. Their little boy is due ten days after their first wedding anniversary. The three of them make my heart melt.. All rights reserved. Copyright Sally T Photography.

Kate | Maternity Portraits

June 25, 2013December 18, 2013 | SallyT

Maternity shoots are something that (before Anna a few weeks ago) I’d never really done, and also something that I regularly see online. Forgive me, but the photography I usually see with maternity portraiture isn’t really my cup of tea, so I wanted to try it but in a way which is a bit more fitting to my style and my tastes. Luckily I’ve so far had the pleasure of working with two very photogenic mums-to-be.. This is my good friend Kate, whose lovely little baby will be arriving in this world quite soon, a little earlier than planned. I can wait to meet her latest addition and to see her 2 year old son Miles playing the role of big brother.. Here are a few from the bump shoot I did with Kate a few weeks ago..
