McKay Family Shoot - Facebook Fanpage Winners

For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you might remember that I said I will pick one lucky fan from the first 100 fans to receive a Free Lifestyle shoot and framed print as a thanks for signing up to be my stalker ;-).

So about a month ago I reached 100 fans, and the winner from the first draw was Rebecca McKay who was delighted to win!

The shoot was scheduled for Good Friday and I can't tell you who looked forward to it more, me or Rebecca ;-). We chatted a few times in the weeks leading up to the shoot, and discussed everything from clothing choices to ideas for the shoot.

I've known (and adored) William since before his first birthday, as he shared my daughter's nursery class since she started nearly 4 years ago. (He started school recently and unfortunately our paths don't cross all that often anymore.)

I was also amazed at how much little Isabella has grown since I last saw her at a birthday party, sometime before Xmas. She is only 6 months old, but appear alot older than her age.

I loved photographing the McKay family and as always, below are a few of my favourites from the day...





















PS: I have decided to do another draw for fans between 100 and 200, so there will be another chance to win soon. Just sign up to be my fan here.

Lifestyle shoot with Hannah and her family

Two weekends ago I finally went to go and photograph the gorgeous Miss Hannah Lane and her family. I've been waiting a little while for this shoot to come around, and some of you might remember that I have taken photos of her before, (sort of) when I photographed her Mum at 39 weeks. ;-)

I was amazed at how strong she is for her age! Normally when I photograph young babies I prepare myself and the parents that the little ones will not last very long on their tummies as their heads are very heavy and the strain of picking it up to see what is happening takes it's toll fairly quickly. This was not the case with this little madam, as she was by far the strongest little girl that I have ever come across and she took all this "posing for the camera lark" in her stride.

I had her two stepbrothers on hand to make her smile on demand, and they were absolutely fantastic with her. You could see the pride in their eyes for having such an adorable baby sister.











Talking about her two lovely step brothers... It was not the first time that I've photographed them either. I photographed them at their Mum's second wedding back in 2008, and I was delighted to have the opportunity to have these two trendy boys in front of the camera again. Click here to see how much they've changed.












And finally with Mummy and Daddy - Can you tell that she is half asleep by now? ;-)





Thanks guys, I had a fabulous day and I'm looking forward to the next time ;-).
