I met Charlie-Ann and Ryan when they booked me as their wedding photographer. Its such a special job to photograph a growing family. It feels like only yesterday I was at Barkham Manor for their engagement shoot. Such a loving and cute couple. I can’t wait to meet little one.    I love the vibrant colours on Charlie’s gown. It draws the eye to that stunning bump. Her main theme was soft greys and whites as that is the colour of baby’s nursery. Charlie and Ryan don’t know the sex of the baby and I think the gentle tones in these photographs will compliment the nursery decor and suit both a boy and a girl. I just love this kissing photograph. I reflects their relationship and shows off Charlie’s figure. She has a great curvy figure and totally rocks pregnancy!! This photo is so striking! Showing off the intimacy of pregnancy. I’m so pleased Charlie and Ryan chose me to be their Bump photographer. I’m so lucky to see their family grow and capture this precious time in their lives.

  This scrumptious boy came to the studio for his final Baby club photoshoot. His super hero themed photoshoots have been epic!! Mum Andie and Dad Chris have been clients of mine for 10 years since I first met them as their wedding photographer. They have since had 6 photoshoots with me and it has been the most amazing experience to watch their family grow. They are now such dear friends and I feel so lucky to meet such kind caring people through my job. This family have seen me through my company from the very beginning when I met them in Reading to take on the job as their wedding photographer. I had been a wedding photographer for someone else for two years, but there’s was one of my first weddings I had under my own company…One Life Studio!! Ten years on I’m as busy as ever (I don’t know how I fit it all into my life, but I love it so I do) and this amazing couple are still with me…testament to how much they have enjoyed my photoshoots and the photographs.        

Katy brought Thomas along for his first birthday cake smash. I last photographed Thomas when he was only a few days old. What a handsome and happy young man he has grown into. We tried to capture the fun and vibrancy of a toddlers world through bright colours and balloons, but we also wanted a set of photographs they would work with his newborn photographs which had a very rural scottish feel. Thomas certainly had lots of fun and we got some gorgeous photographs. 

Pregnancy photoshoots are among one of my favourite types of photoshoot. Vick loved my style of pregnancy photos, after seeing Yvette’s photos taken by me earlier this month.  Vick was really keen on having a natural photoshoot that highlighted the bond between her children and was simple and elegant. She loved the way I use natural light to create different effects from striking silhouettes to soft halos that wrap around the bump and dart through her hair. Fortunately we were amazingly lucky with the weather and the light poured through the studio windows perfectly.   Vick chose soft pastel colours for the main part of her shoot and her hair down, catching the light beautifully. Later on we tried some slightly artier shots, but in keeping the elegant feel, but much more stylised.   Vick was thrilled at the results of our session together, so much so she told her husband when she got home that evening that she had ‘the perfect photograph’ of herself.   I myself feel so blessed to be a part of this families journey and can’t wait to see this family grow from four to five.      

   Yvette came to me to capture this special time in their families journey. Steve and Yvette, are expecting their third child in September and their final member to complete their family. To mark the moment and celebrate her body Yvette wanted a natural and elegant photoshoot. Yvette’s little ones came along for the start of the session. Its clear to anyone seeing these photos how close and loving this family are. By using natural light I was able to create thet soft gentle atmosphere that Yvette wanted in her photographs. We also tried something a little more extravagant and used the stunning scarf her mother had given her as a wrap to highlight Yvette’s beautiful curves. The scarf will be a theme in each of Yvette’s bump to baby photographs. I can’t wait to meet baby, another gorgeous little heartbreaker in Eversley, watch this space.

SANDRA’S FAMILY BLUEBELL PHOTOSHOOT       Sandra brought her son, daughter and two grand daughters to the bluebell woods in Eversley to have a special photoshoot with the three children. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and all three children were having a lovely time climbing trees (Sandra did too) and sitting amongst these beautiful flowers. I met Sandra when I donated some of my time to the Eversley Hall Christmas fund raiser and since then we have built a special working and social relationship. It’s amazing that when you give some thing away (in my case, a photoshoot, dancers performing in the show and 100 cup cakes…heehee) you gain so much more back. A lovely friend, her some dances with my street dance group now and her granddaughter will be in my daughters class at school. It made me feel so good to give something to my community, but I feel even more rewarded to have met such a lovely family. Long may our friendship last.    

       I met this beautiful family at Eversley Christmas fundraiser and they loved my photos so much they snapped up the chance at having a Bluebell Photoshoot with their little ones.   It was the most perfect afternoon, the sun was shining and little Sofia loved skipping amongst the bluebells searching for fairies. Lewis was adorable in his little outfit and so photogenic, as are his adorable parents who are expecting their third child. I can’t wait for Yvette’s next photoshoot. I have been given the privilege of doing three photoshoots for them from Bump to Baby and I can’t wait. I have loved every second of working with this kind and happy family.   Sofia felt so comfortable being photographed by me, by the end she was walking through the woods holding my hand chatting away to me as we made our way back to the studio through this enchanting forest To see more of the Tolsen Family Bluebell photoshoot visit our bluebell page.  

These little cuties came for the first bluebell shoot of the season. A little early to hit the peek of the bluebells, but it was the one weekend they were back in Arbourfield.   Symone moved away several months ago, but she really wanted me to capture this precious time in her children’s lives at this special time of year, so we made sure we could fit a shoot in on her return to Arborfield.   Little Evie loved being in front of the camera and both children are so photogenic it made my job so easy. They were so happy to be there, skipping and laughing, running and climbing trees.   To see more of Symone’s Family portrait sittinf visit our location portrait gallery

   Another fabulous Bluebell shoot in Shiplake, Henley. This gorgeous family are regular clients of mine. I met Anette through teaching her daughter dance and since then we have had wonderful photoshoots together. Amelia is now a beautiful young woman and it was lovely to photograph her again this time with her brothers. It was a lovely afternoon in the Bluebell woods and great to bring a family who has grown up and moved away and onto lead their exciting new lives, back together for an afternoon of family fun.
