family photographer north east

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..

Initially.. this may seem like a cop-out. This is my little girl, Vivi.. and working trying to get some nice shots of her is so much harder than when I run off to a local park to do a family/children/baby portraiture shoot with some lovely people that have booked me to get some nice snaps. Yes, I point my camera at her very regularly.. no, she doesn’t stay still.. and no, she never does what I ask her to when I try and take her picture.. I’ve wanted to get some close ups of V for a while.. suddenly she’s a little girl and I have no idea where my baby went..

Here are a few from 5 minutes in some gorgeous light outside our front door yesterday afternoon. (Taken in-between her doing her owl impression from ‘The Gruffalo’ and her personal interpretation of ‘Gangnam Style’)
