A bed is a fantastic backdrop for child and baby photos. It adds a natural feel and conjures up feelings of comfort, plus it’s bouncy and soft which babies and children love. However a real bed can be really dangerous, especially if you’re trying to take a photo and your little one decides to crawl lightening speed...
This is possibly the most important thing I’ve learnt from photography. Like many mothers I always vied for that front on gummy grin when photographing children, both my own and in sessions. And as soon as they lost interest, a nearby toy grabbing their attention, I’d be there trying desperately to elicit another smile or giggle. Now...
I’m often asked what the best ages are for photoshoots and I always say that the first year is absolutely key. There are 3 types of shoots that I’d recommend everyone books and these are summarised below… NEWBORN I would always implore people to book a shoot within the first 2 weeks of...
George had an absolute blast at his 1st birthday cake smash and so did I. Luckily his parents also live in Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire and so didn’t have to travel too far home – as they got a bit covered in cake, oops. We start every 1st birthday cake...

1st birthday sessions make me cry and here’s why… It’s such a momentous occasion to mark. That first year is huge both for the baby and for mum and dad. It’s a year of incredible unforgettable highs – their first smile, those snuggles you wish would never end and of course the first time they...

How do you do the window portion of the shot? I have 2 studio lights, but how do you get it to look like a real window?
Fantastic post! I love how creatively you’ve used your space! Amazing!
Thank you so, so much xxx
Just totally love your style! Off to play with wb in camera as I just managed my first white white through editing but would love to achieve in camera!! Thanks for sharing 🙂 x
Thanks lovely. Yay so pleased I’ve inspired you to have a play with your wb in camera, it’s honestly a game changer xx
Did you say that u have just one light coming from behind your curtain ? Also unrelated for your cake smash do you just put down white roll and throw it away each time or do you put something over top ?
Yes that’s right regarding the light and with cake smashes I just do them directly on my floor. I deep clean it before and after every cake smash to get the cake out of the cracks, but my floor also comes apart into 3 sections and so that makes cleaning easier xx
This is such a beautiful setup! May I ask what light you have behind the curtain? What camera flash do you use? Tia
Thank you lovely. It’s the Elinchrom D-lite 1 xx
Hi do you use the light without a soft Box? The curtain is th diffuser? Or you still need both? If yes, what kind of softbox do you use? Thank you so much for sharing ur setup with us! I absolutely love the way ur images have that natural light feel but I hate the inconsistency of natural light
Thank you so much for your comment. I use an Elinchrom D-lite 1 with a Westcott 7ft PLM umbrella, this sits behind a curtain that I have hung from the ceiling. The curtain is made from a layer of white shower curtains and then white voiles in front. The key is to diffuse the light as much as possible and then work out the best angle for the light in your space x
