On her four-month birthday on Sunday, my niece Isabel had her first trip to the circus. The Moscow State Circus was in town, and it was a brilliant show, with incredible arial and acrobatic acts. Of course, it was all just lights and bouncy blobs to her, but she had

No matter how busy you are, down time is important. And there's not better way to get out of your head than playing with a couple of toddlers. After the mini photo session with Isabel, I spent some time snapping and playing with her two big brothers. Their

Can I just say: wow. The past few weeks have been utterly bananas – deadlines, shoots, an incredible weekend in Dubrovnik and the biggest news of all – I am an aunty again! My beautiful sister gave birth to a healthy baby girl. (I was there for the whole thing. Yes, the

How was your Paddy's Day weekend? I spent the day chilling, food shopping and house-keeping. Not very exciting, right? Where once I stood on a pillar on Dame Street for about three hours straight so I could snap the parade, this year I relished the opportunity to catch

I recently indulged in some of the really fun perks of Auntyhood – a trip to the park with Ethan, my four year old nephew. In between chasing him up climbing frames and pushing him on the swings, I took a couple of shots. After much climbing, swinging and hop-scotching, we

I love shooting babies. Just look at them all quietly curled up, with their perfect petal pink cheeks and cherubic little mouths. Kids? Totally different story. Now, I adore my four year old nephew, but he ain't easy to shoot. He does the scrunched up, squinty eyed "

Snapped some pics of Ethan on Saturday during a little stroll to feed the ducks on a very cold canal.

I took a fun day trip last Saturday to Bray with my nephew Ethan, who's almost four, and Ben (who's quite a bit older than that). We said whatevs to the weather, and headed to Sealife to find Nemo, before tucking into some chips and ice

A fun, chillaxed bank holiday weekend was bookened with visits from two of my favourite people. On Thursday my nephew Noah, who turns one next month, called over so that his mum and I could have catch up chats. Then on Sunday I had a babysitting date with his big

I posted some shots of my lil' nephew Noah at eight weeks last August, so thought it would be fun to post pics of him at eight months too, from a quick and spontaneous session (on the kitchen table no less). Isn't he dotey? He's

It's been a tough few weeks, and particularly a tough few days, for lots of people. I've been super busy and not posting here as often as I'd like – this blog is a little solace for me, and it hadn't occurred to
