Cuteness overload … meet Maddison {newborn]

I’ve known Jemma and Rob for a good few years now, having photographed their wedding at The Old Kent Barn (you can see their story here) and we have kept in touch over the years.  I was delighted to hear that they were expanding their family … and even more delighted to hear of the safe (if a little early) arrival of Maddison.

At just one week old, Maddison stole my heart. She took a while to settle but we were in no hurry … the light in the conservatory was gentle as the day was overcast and Maddison finally drifted off …

Jemma and Rob also have a petite Boston Terrier and Maddison had received a replica … it’s great when we have the chance to photograph newborns with their first presents as we can use them in the future to gauge how much, and how quickly, they grow!

Maddison also modelled some headbands, made by friends of Jemma and Rob …

 

With a beautiful princess blanket gifted by grandparents, Peter and Bernie, it was nearly time to finish …

I’m pretty confident that I’ll be seeing lots more of this gorgeous little one. Maddison is already putting on weight and getting bigger by the day and I’m excited to follow her progress.

If you are expecting a baby, why not check out my bespoke baby packages which comprise of three photoshoots, either maternity, newborn and six months or newborn, six months and one year. They are keenly priced and a great way to document those important times in your baby’s first year:  details are here or you can email sam@samanthajonesphotography.co.uk to book your session.

A gorgeous little Christmas baby – welcome Oscar!

How lovely it was to be invited back to this lovely family to photograph their latest addition, Oscar. As Tilly is now a big sister, she was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole shoot and we achieved some lovely shots of both the new arrival and his big sister!

Here are just a couple of teaser images (and a super cute one too when Oscar had nodded off … perfect!)

I can’t wait to return in six months to photograph Oscar and his family again. It really does create beautiful memories of a time which is so fleeting. If you are expecting a new arrival or would be interested in a relaxed and family photoshoot, why not check out details and pricing by clicking this link.

Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous little {M} at seven months

It doesn’t seem possible that this gorgeous little girl can be seven months old tomorrow. We first “met” when she was only a “bump”, and then again shortly afterwards when she stayed wide awake … and now, here she is, looking absolutely gorgeous at seven months. What a wonderful way to start a Monday!

I am looking forward to seeing which images Jenny and Tim choose for their book which is included in the package. And I could not have been more delighted when Jenny has asked me to return for little M’s first birthday in February next year. Oh yes please!

If you are interested in finding out more about my “bump to baby” or “baby to one year” packages, do check out the page on my website. There are staggered payments for the sessions and, of course, it would make a wonderful gift for a newborn.

Meet Charlie – two months old and gorgeous!

Charlie’s mum was the one who introduced me to wedding photography. She recommended me to a friend whose wedding I shot and I thought … yes, I can do this. Two and a half years later, I’m loving every moment … and the fact that Amanda still comes to visit … this time, with baby number two, Charlie (whose gorgeous sister was featured by me here). Can you spot the similarities? Mum still looks pretty fabulous!!!

Just one little difference though …

Congratulations all round to mummy and daddy … looking forward to seeing you all again very soon xx
