Six plus baby pictures of Mr O

Hi everybody!

This is Mr O, and his six plus baby pictures. He has been very good at this session. He liked sitting in the basket and crawling around my studio. He also seems to like looking into the camera, possibly wondering what is this big black thing and who is behind it 🙂

I enjoyed photographing Mr O. That was easy to pose and direct him. I’m glad I chose the cap as his outfit, think it suited him very well. Apart from photographing the boy himself, I did few shots of the whole family. I quite like this photo, it reflects the connection between the little boy and his parents.

Enjoy the pictures 🙂

Newborn baby girl photos of miss N

Hi everyone

I admire newborn babies when they are asleep! Not only because they are cute, but also because I can do so many beautiful photos! And such was Miss N, newborn baby girl photos of whom I present in this post.

She was just lovely! I took few shots of her on fur, blankets and, finally. in a wonderful vintage pram! As for colours, I chose combination of green, grey and brown for the pram shot, a little bit of pink and purple for the photo where miss N was wrapped. I also like when my little newborn models wear knitted colourful hats, they are even cuter with them 🙂

Enjoy the pictures 🙂

Award winning baby photographer 2014

I’m very excited to say that the second year in row I have won the MPA East Midlands competition in Portrait of under 5s category and proud to be an award winning baby photographer 2014. This follows the success of last year’s competition.

Master Photographers Association, UK organisation of professional photographers, hold its annual East Midlands awards competition every year. This year I took a part with some of my favourite newborn and baby photographs and some wedding fashion shots. Apart from the three of my photographs that became the winners, two other images had an award of excellence and five had merit recognitions.

I’d like to say thank you to all my little models and their parents, as well as to the wedding couples and models, for giving me this opportunity to create beautiful artistic pictures and to everyone supporting me through this year.

Here are the winning baby photographs and those marked as merit or award of excellence.

Also, this year have won Contemporary wedding and Fashion, which you can look through in the ESP wedding photography blog.

Newborn photographer Derby – Oliver’s photos

Hi everybody!

Back in 2012 I photographed wedding of Becky and Alex. You can imagine how pleased I was when Becky emailed me to ask to photograph their newborn baby boy Oliver.

Oliver is a lovely little boy. He was very positive during his first ever newborn photo shoot, even smiled to me 🙂 (see the photo). We’ve also decided to weigh him using my special vintage scales, just for a record:) As usually, for my boutique baby photography sessions, I used knitted hats, baskets and other carefully selected and themed accessories from my photography props collection.

It was a pleasure to photograph Oliver; look forward to seeing him soon for his 6 plus session!

Cake smash photographer Derby – Scarlett

Hi everybody!

Finally I’ve found time to come back to our blog. Sorry that we had a big gap since last post. Lots of things are going on, lots of exciting news! But today I would like to share with you photos from Scarlett’s session taken by your cake smash photographer in Derby 🙂

I love photograph cake smashes 🙂 This is a real FUN for the 1 year old little ones!

As a boutique baby photographer I always try to prepare the cake and all decorations to be special and unique for each baby shoot. So we’ve used cream, blue and red colours for Scarlett to match her room decor 🙂 She was absolutely perfect model! We had lots fun! What do you think?

Twins Six Plus photos from Derby boutique baby photographer

About 9 months after their newborn photo shoot, I was glad to see little twins, Martin and Hazel, at my Derby studio again. Now, for a Six Plus boutique baby photography shoot.

These two very cute twins have grown since last shoot so that now they are able to sit on their own. Since the shoot was in December, the obvious theme we chose was a Christmas theme. Both Martin and Hazel enjoyed cuddling a Christmas teddy and play with little toys.

Since Martin and Hazel were in good mood, I also decided to dress them in elegant clothes: Martin – in a cap, bow tie and shorts, and Hazel, in head band and a dress. You can find from the pictures, that they both really enjoyed this photographic experience. Isn’t it great to see these smiles?

Cake Smash shoot from a Derby boutique baby photographer

The ‘Cake Smash’ shoot is a stylish boutique baby photo shoot of a 1 year old baby around his 1st birthday. The idea is for the baby to have fun by literally smashing a 1st Birthday Cake, to create mess and get lots of smiles and joy from making a mess. This is ‘what it is all about’ 🙂

So, I think, Maxim took the most of it during his Cake Smash shoot! He was quite amused about presence of the cake and lots of decorations around. The he was surprised that he is allowed to make a mess with the cake. Once he realised what it is about, he smashed the cake very quickly, I just needed to keep pressing the button to take pictures 🙂

The cake used in the shoot is a real cake ordered from a cake shop and styled to the shoot theme which was about sea and ships. It’s great subject for any boy, isn’t it?

Miss M photos by baby photographer Derby

Hi everyone

Here are photos from one of my favourite six plus sessions. This is Miss M, dressed in a cute red top and red-orange tutu which I made myself specially for this shoot. She just learned to sit up on her own and it looks like she enjoys it! With this smiling face and curious look, she won’t sit for long!

I’ve got plenty of bright colour props, dresses and head bands, especially for girls 🙂 Sometimes I make my photography props myself, like for this shoot. This makes it easier to select appropriate colours to match a chosen theme which is an important part of my boutique baby photography style.

Family photographer Derby – Claire, Rob and Elliott

A new set of family and Six Plus photographs taken in Derby.

Following a newborn photo shoot of Elliott, it was great to see Claire, Rob and little Elliott again for their family photo shoot. First, we had a few shots outside and then moved indoor to complete the photo session. The coming Christmas will be the first Christmas for Elliott so we’ve decided to create the festive atmosphere a bit earlier and made it a theme of this shoot 🙂
