• Meet Elsie. I met her virtually this week! Shooting through an app called CLOS. I took charge of when the shutter was pressed and directed parents of where to place baby, use light and location and help the person holding the camera get in the right place! My mind is blown and heart happy about what we achieved!! Don’t get me wrong... this isn’t that easy. The shoot took a couple of calls to give time to re settle baby, allow time for feeds and nappy changes. It massively relies on good natural light, and having the latest iPhone for the app to work x It was challenging directing people and getting babies to co operate! I felt like I was doing a crystal maze challenge where I had to describe every detail of what I needed! I’m so grateful for people having time and patience to get these beautiful pics!! X I’m working on a package for virtual newborn shoots. I’ve written a PDF about how we best use light, what to wear, locations and lots of reference pics. It’s not an easier option than in person. And I deffo can’t get all the same images I typically do at a newborn shoot but we still can get some cracking shots to celebrate this incredible little person entering the world!! If you would be interested in hearing about packages when info is released please do pop me a DM x these ideally are for babies under 2 weeks old. The older babies are the more awake! Making this kind of shoot even trickier x But as they are virtual you don’t need to local to me, to be fair you don’t even need to be in the same country!! X Big love and thank you for letting me capture some memories that make your heart happy ♥️♥️♥️

  • Here’s me. Hello! Friday night and looking back on another 6 weeks of homeschooling, readjusting to the madness that is lockdown life. Can’t quite believe we got to half term! I have worked hard to be Mary Poppins for my kids and keep them happy learners. It’s been tough.. good days and bad days but thankful to have a week now to re set! X These pics were taken last summer for my new website.. scroll to see me laughing hard!! by the gorgeous @abigail.white.photo.film 📷 This week I have explored virtual newborn shoots. It has been a steep learning curve. It is not easy option! But looking forward to sharing some more pics this weekend x thank you for all your love and support on the pictures I posted yesterday. I got so many messages, love and likes yesterday and I so appreciate the support!! X really hoping it is a service I can offer very soon! Hope you have a great half term. Who knows how things will pan out in weeks to come. But you got this! Good luck and stay safe x #halfterm #halftermfun #homeschooling #yougotthis #lookingback #familytime #familyphotographer #relaxedphotography #lovemyjob #virtualphotography #virtualshoot #keeplearning #keepgrowing xx

  • I did it! A virtual photoshoot! ♥️ Via a phone app, I showed these guys how to pose and angle their baby/phone and I clicked the shutter and controlled exposure. Then I got to download and edit the pictures. Lockdown has stopped me doing my job for so long. Today blew my mind. This technology allowed me to fill hearts with so much joy and love. Babies stay little for a while but the newborn stage is so fleeting. They start to wake up, stretch out and be more alert so quickly. Family & newborn photoshoots and weddings have not been allowed for so long. The timing for a newborn shoot is essentially within the first two weeks. So I am going try and work hard to nail newborn virtual shoots. I have written a guide on how we do it and I’m hoping I will be able to show you some more virtual newborn shoots in the next few days. X I love my job so much and today made me do all kinds of happy dancing! It was tricky but even if I can get a few cracking shots and help you celebrate this time with some gorgeous pics x so watch this space for more announcements about this service cos I am hoping I can do it more and more!! Oooo and scroll to see my little helper I used on the call to show them what pose we were doing! Kermit you nailed it too!!

  • Does anyone else feel like their kids want more hugs at the moment? X my children are not babies anymore, they are now 10 & 14 but this lockdown they seem to want cuddles all the time. I had spent hours with my son the other day at the kitchen table homeschooling and as soon as we were done he asked for more hugs. When I said I have been with you all day he said “that was teacher you not mummy you!” Man it broke my heart. Having to wear such different hats at the moment. We are parents, their teachers, cooks, PA and for my kids I am their play date mate too! They are missing having mates over just as much as I am. Think that’s why they want so much more of me... the need for reassurance is so strong. It’s exhausting some days but I know I will miss the hugs when they have more people to share their days with! X Hope you and yours are doing ok. What a strange time it is for our wee ones. Big hugs to everyone who need them xx H x #lockdownlife #needforhugs #familylife #makingmemories #homeschooling #hopeyouok #familyiseverything #familyphotography

  • Trying to find my Monday morning good vibes! Anyone seen them?! how was your weekend?! I spent almost all of mine cleaning and clearing out drawers in our kitchen. I mean living the dream!! I saw a post yesterday that said: “In less than 5 weeks it will be March. Daffodils, sunshine, warmer and longer days & new beginnings. Keep going everyone we can do this” It really resonated with me. January is done. February.. we got this... a little longer and we can be laughing in some spring sunshine. I think weather plays such a massive impact on our mood, our plans and our energy. Look at all these kids proper belly laughing. Letting go with giggles and joy. It is so special to get photos like this of your kids. Not needing to be smiling at me, but some real memories made kinda moments x and I for one can’t wait to be taking photos like this again soon!

  • Anyone tried to learn a new skill in lockdown? Piano? Couch to 5k? Written a book? Singing? New recipes? DIY? Have you got something in mind you haven’t started yet?! Today is the day! Let’s throw caution to the wind and try something new! At the start of lockdown 1 I ordered a Calligraphy kit from @loupaper_ and loved it. My daughter was such a natural at it, her hand writing is lovely anyway but she now is writing calligraphy for all her school work titles and it looks so neat. I do love to learn new stuff. I did a business course all of last week with @fayecornhill and it got me thinking, scribbling ideas and enthused again. I’m half way through couch to 5k but I am no runner and finding it so hard!! I used to play piano... not sure I ever looked as cute as this little lady when I played mind you!! X Hope you have a super day and tell me what skill you gonna try and perfect soon-?! You got this!! X #lockdownlife #lockdownskills #familytime #makingmemories #playingpiano #learnsomethingnew #learningnewskills #lovemyjob #yougothis
