Baby & Children's Photographer Northampton

I met Harry and his Mummy and Grandma on Saturday morning. What a gorgeous little boy Harry is! Even though it was a dull old day outdoors he was a ray of sunshine: 5 months old and full of character, Harry was an absolute joy to photograph. At this age you can expect more 'in arms' shots as babies generally aren't able to support themselves sitting up but that was ideal as Harry's Mummy especially wanted some beautiful photos of the two of them together. This sneak peek is one of my favourites! Isn't that a cute little bottom and what a yummy mummy you are K :)

I'm best known for my nostalgic sepia portraits and 95% of my family portraiture is presented in this format. I also generally think newborns and younger babies look best naked or wrapped in a shawl, however, there is always room for exceptions. This morning's photo shoot with Holly, proves not only how gorgeous an 8 week old baby can look in a dress, which was a fabulous present from her grandma, but also what a beautiful colouring this little girl has. For good measure I'm showing another sneak peek of her in my signature sepia ~ naked of course!

These are some of my favourites from a family shoot before Christmas that I couldn't blog before now as lots of my photos were given as presents. I last photographed Finn at his old house so it was really lovely to see the family's gorgeous new home and celebrate beautiful Isla Rose's arrival. She was asleep when I arrived but soon woke up and enjoyed her first professional photo shoot! They came back for a Mini Shoot at Sywell  . . . see how much Isla has grown :)

Just a little sneak peek from the weekend session with A and R's gorgeous little family. Anya is 7 weeks' old and every bit as beautiful as her older sister and brother. More photos coming soon  . . .

Welcome Poppy ~ Baby Photographer Northants {Wendy Grant Photography}

Whilst I recommend scheduling your newborn photoshoot within the first two weeks after your baby's birth, especially if you're looking for the iconic curled up, sleeping images, there is no hard and fast rule about when you should book. Generally your baby will begin to lose her foetal curl after 7 days and will be much more alert from 4 weeks. A little older at 6 weeks, Poppy barely slept during her photoshoot but gave me an opportunity to capture her with those beautiful eyes open and present her Mummy and Daddy with a set of photographs recording this very special stage of her life.  Poppy's sneak peek was posted before Christmas but now I can share a few more with you. I just love those gorgeous little baby hands!

Welcome Layla ~ Newborn Photographer Hertfordshire {Wendy Grant Photography}

Now that we've welcomed in the New Year and everyone's had their Christmas presents, I'm able to share some more photographs from Layla's newborn photoshoot with her big brother Max. Layla was a little older than Max was at his newborn session as their Mummy and Daddy wanted lots of photographs of Layla with her eyes open, and at almost 6 weeks old, she was more alert than a brand new baby and looking absolutely scrumptious!

Welcome Poppy ~ Baby Photographer Northants {Wendy Grant Photography}

At six weeks old Poppy is one of the most well travelled young babies that I've come across ~ flying over from Ireland to visit family and friends, I was pleased that Poppy was able to find time in her busy schedule for her first photoshoot. The shawl that she is wearing is very special as it was a gift from her great grandmother that I'm sure is destined to become a family heirloom. Aren't those toes cute! These are a few of my favourites . . .

Bump & Baby Photographer ~ Milton Keynes {Wendy Grant Photography}

Are you expecting a baby? Or do you know anyone whom is expecting one? If you're thinking about booking a bump and/or newborn photo shoot, or giving a bump & baby photo shoot gift voucher,  there's still time to see my Bumps & Baby work close up at Milton Keynes Hospital! I'm exhibiting in the MK Arts for Health changing exhibition space, very appropriately, by the Maternity Ward on level 2 above the main entrance reception. This is one of the photographs that has been selected for permanent display in the Parents' Rest Room in Maternity Delivery. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a really big thank you to my clients and the MK Arts for Health team!

Haven't They Grown! {Baby & Children's Photographer ~ Buckinghamshire}

It's always really lovely when my clients rebook and I never cease to be amazed at how much the children grow in between sessions. At Saturday's family photoshoot with two of her cousens, Frankie was barely recognisable from her newborn session in September! K bought a Mother's Day gift voucher for her Mum so that A could have all her grandchildren photographed together. It's sometimes difficult to arrange this and sadly L wasn't able to join them on the day ~ but we did get some lovely shots. These are some of my favourites . . .

Daisy {Baby & Children's Photographer ~ Cambridgeshire}

I met this gorgeous little girl on Saturday! Fresh from her swimming lesson and bright as a button 7 month old Daisy was a real joy to photograph. I just loved her brand new hat all ready for her trip to Australia to visit her grandparents and auntie who treated her to this very special gift. Why not take advantage of my March Madness offer and give your special person a really lasting present?

Angels & FIshes Christening Wear {Commercial Photographer ~ Northamptonshire}

It was a busy day at last Thursday's commercial shoot with Angels & Fishes, but all three models did really well! We prefer to go outside on location for the lifestyle shoots but it's just too cold at this time of the year for these little people ~ and me. Anyway these are a couple of little tasters!

Angels & Fishes Christening Wear {Commercial Photographer ~ Northamptonshire}

I'm really looking forward to my next commercial shoot with Angels & Fishes, which is coming up soon! Angela designs the most beautiful special occasion and christening wear for children ~ and everything is handmade using fabrics and trimmings from the UK. So if you're looking for something special for your little person, stop by Angela's website!

Evie {Baby & Children's Photographer ~ Northamptonshire}

Young babies change so quickly ~ at 17 weeks old already this gorgeous little lady is well past the newborn stage, which lasts (at most) up to one month.  Evie is developing into a proper little character ~ her special bunny is never far from her side and she loves to hide under it!  These are some of my favourites from yesterday's creative session . . .

Harry {Baby & Children's Photographer ~ Northamptonshire}

I've been itching to meet this young man ever since his Godfather bought a creative session as a gift for Harry's christening, which is a wonderful present to receive. Harry is now 8 months old and a gorgeous little fellow with big blue eyes. I loved the special teddy bear his uncle made him . . . what another fabulous present! Generally babies and toddlers are brighter in the mornings but as we couldn't do the shoot until the afternoon, Harry had a wee cat nap in the middle of our session and I was able to capture him asleep too! These are just a few of my favourites from the day.
