It’s a new year and I am SO excited to throw myself back into weddings. This year I am releasing my wedding photography venue bucket list. Why do I have a bucket list? I am always keen to improve and want to expand my wedding photography portfolio in 2020. I have a few venues which I LOVE working with – as with any job its great working somewhere you know well. Most importantly there are a few venues I have not worked at before. Getting the chance to photograph at a new wedding venue is really exciting. Are YOU getting married this year? Is your venue on my wedding photography venue bucket list? As a BIG thank you for helping me tick off another venue from my bucket list I am offering 25% off all full day weddings in 2020. My wedding photography venue bucket list for 2020 is: The…
My top 5 ‘cool baby stuff’ for new parents
You have just found out you are expecting a baby – Congratulations!! It can be so overwhelming when you start to look at all of the ‘must have’ items. The nappies, wipes, sterilisers, baby grows, dummies, cribs, cots, paint colours! There is just SO much choice. Being a Mum of two little girls I have been there! Here I have compiled a list of my top 5 ‘cool baby stuff’ for new parents. I hope that it might help you to start getting your head around which gadgets are must haves and which are not! Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo I had seen these huge Jumperoo contraptions and was determined not to have one! I did not want to give up that much of my living room for a giant noisy bouncer! But – a friend gifted me one and not wanting to be rude I gratefully accepted! This turned into one…

Using a dummy in your newborn photo session
Dummies – yes or no? It is such a hot topic right now. I am often asked about whether it would be appropriate to use a dummy in a newborn photo session so I thought it about time that I address the topic in my blog.
