Nine business lessons I have learned from a home renovation project in Hackney, East London

Your home is a wonderful place to document your pregnancy and family life, because it is where you spend so much time when you have young children. If when you look back on your photos in a year, two years, ten years, and you want to see real family moments, then my motherhood sessions are for you.

What is a mini shoot I hear you say? Well, it is just what the name implies - a shorter shoot experience but you can still expect all the joy and a gallery full of beautiful images of you and your family! I need just twenty minutes to make some motherhood magic with you - and yes, whilst that isn't *much* time, it is enough time to capture some great shots and give you updated family imagery for your walls and family photo albums.

Even if you arrive at a shoot tired or not feeling your 'best', I know you will still be doing all the tender, caring things you do for your child - mothers need very little direction when having their photo taken with their babies, because you are always holding, stroking and kissing them!

One of the joys of having a winter baby is having the perfect excuse to stay curled up at home on the sofa! Why pull on all the layers to go outside into the cold air when you can stay in your cozy cottage living room and snuggle with your boys? That is exactly what Becky did for her wonderfully warm at home newborn shoot in North London.

After a shoot back in March, my client M got in touch wanting to gift a shoot to her brother and sister-in-law to celebrate their new arrival - and the shoot was as fun and wonderful as it looks!

You’re about to become an auntie/uncle/grandparent/honorary godparent/insert other title here to a newborn baby! And because you’re a lovely person, you are looking for a thoughtful gift for a baby shower or a newborn baby. You’ll find practical and heartfelt gifting advice from a mama of two WHO KNOWS. I know - trust me, I KNOW - what your mum-to-be pal needs.
