A Little Holiday | Personal

Uncategorised

As summer draws to an end, I'm reminiscing about our little family holiday to Somerset at the beginning of June. The weather was gorgeous and we were away with good friends. Our little ones are best buddies so we had lots of fun exploring and showing them things for the first time.

Devon layout trial

Dave took part in the Devon 70.3 Triathlon Iron Man competition. Set in incredible scenery it was a huge feat to undertake, with a swim, bike ride, and a run. We found it exhausting just running after our toddlers so were hugely impressed by all the competitors.

Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍 It was so lo Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍

It was so lovely to see some of the babies I photographed as newborns, and to meet more little ones at this new under one’s club in Little Treasures Stay and Play in Christchurch. 

If you are new mum in the BCP area I would highly recommend going along. It’s a chance to meet other mum’s, have coffee and a cake and @babymamanodrama_  is inviting along different guest speakers to each session. 

I hope to join again in a few weeks time. 

Would be lovely to see some of you there! 💛

She was pure joy, the sweetest big sister. 💛 Y She was pure joy, the sweetest big sister. 💛

Your newborn session always includes sibling and family shots, because these are the moments you’ll want to look back on forever. 

It’s amazing how big siblings suddenly seem so grown up when baby arrives, but when you look back, you’ll remember just how little they still were. 🥺

A little behind the scenes into a milestone shoot A little behind the scenes into a milestone shoot with me. This gorgeous girl was just turning 7 months old. She was super sweet and these sessions are always a lot of fun. 😊

They won’t be this little forever but photos do help you hold onto the magic. 

7 months of squish, giggles, and growing personality. 🤍

Every age is worth capturing. Don’t wait for a milestone—this moment matters too.
