I remember faces… I see that many of them,  its always great when i see returning clients and there babies and how they have come on and grown.  I can remember when i was in my nine months of pregnancy and still shooting studio sessions, then it stopped for a few months while i took on a new role in life of being a mummy.  I cant say what changed, it just did.  everything is different.  I was no longer only me.  I am me plus Pierce. Granted Pete is a part of that we as well, but its something extraordinary to become more than just you.  This week i smiled again at returning clients with new members of their familys. I cant beleive three years ago i photographed a bunch of them, I sat for a moment and was so happy that they had returned, you aways want them to but how many do? Im one of the lucky one’s who can say most of my work comes from recomendations and returning clients.  Three years ago seems like a second ago, and a hundred years ago.

Im going to start the photos off with Emma and her wonderful litle family.  here i  bring you  my retrning clients and a  favorite pic from each session. emma came in to the studio 3 years ago for photos and returned this summer for more. what a great shoot and so many lush photos.

This little one is here  bursting with love, laughter and joy. i couldnt pick just one of  leannes beautiful little girl ellisia so here are three.!.. Beautiful.

Julie and her family came to see me a few year back… they dont live around here any more , they had been to other photographers around there area but julie said it just wasnt the same, so when visiting up in hartlepool one more time why not book in with her old photographer…ME! thank you so much for coming back in to see me. how your children have grown…. this pic is of julie trying to have a peaceful moment with her book while her children fight around her… i love it. x

Its June already… half way through the year!…summer has arrived.  This is quite a shock,  as this means,  that all of a sudden I’m wildly busy!  But… I could have worse problems!  Welcome Rachael and her babies. cIt would be cruel of me not to share a few of these with you.
Elisa and Finley… you are absolutely beautiful.
The above image’s, are for sure, among my 2010 favorites.
How cute are they!!!!

Going into this shoot, I knew how much Rachael wanted her children captured.  And some times you just know how important it is for a mum to have her babies beautiful little faces photographed.  When I know how excited people are about their shoots, it does nothing short of spiral me into a wild whirl wind of inspiration.
I loved spending time with this bunch, and was so excited when the Eliza started flashing smiles my way.
What  beautiful children and what a pleasure to work with, I know I say this alot but doing photo shoots like this really makes me so happy to be a photographer.  And its all down to my models. Thanks You two…. your Amazing. x

What a lovely little man. Im  a bit shocked that Sam and Martin waited so long to come in and get his photos done! He worked so well with the camera.  In the initial glance at an image, what do you see.?
fun props, quirky poses, something beautiful. ?  Maybe you don’t know why you like the photo… You just do…. I’m not really one for fuss.  I don’t really like using a lot of props or things in photographs.  I like spirit.  I love  emotion.  I love seeing behind the image, what is really in that photo.  You can see that every one of  these photos are full of love and spirit.   We love you Max, well done on a fab photo shoot XX

Some call motherhood a secret club, that you can’t explain… until you join.  Let me tell you its amazing. you get paid with pure LOVE, KISSES and its the most wonderful thing in the world. Look at Nicola and Ross’S LITTLE LOVE BUG.  Another great session and a hard viewing!! Enjoy XX

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.”
-Pablo Picasso

Everyone who knows me knows that i specializes in capturing special moments.  After traveling the world on cruise ships I chose to open up my studio here in Hartlepool. Its my pleasure to be photographing so many of you with your familys, children, pets.  We do it all From weddings, to pregnancy, to new babies and gorgeous grannies - I would say its fresh, alive and very exciting!  I consistently pride myself on creating timeless images that inspire and amaze.  Its my passion and I love capturing images that you and your loved ones will undoubtedly cherish.  Rebecca sat there in her veiwing session and said….

I think the best way to welcome this week is with a big dose of adorable!
Are you kidding me, with the cuteness!!!  How sweet is he?  Unreal!  I have had the very good pleasure of photographing this little prince/devil for the last two years now.
This little one is beautiful.  Here are few my personal favorites. Its always so sad saying godbye to my baby book clients.. hope you an come back and see me soon.  If anyone is interested in starting a baby book or know of  anyone who is pregnant drop me an email or call us and we can talk through our packages with you. We take beautiful photos of your gorgeous belly and then a perfect little baby a month later and so on till your babys first birthday.  More than ever, I  appreciate and realize the intense value in maternity photos.  I absolutly love mine,  and once Pierce was born and I had no longer a bump I loved the photos even more.  In capturing a glimpse of the beauty of growing a baby.  The magic in setting aside the struggles and challenges, and just simply appreciating the beauty of what is happening within the female body.  Not to mention,  allowing a woman going through so much,  to see herself in a different light… my lights.

You can’t possibly not fall hilariously in love with this wildly spirited, amazingly cute, arm waving,  cheeky little boy!   Imagination is one of the most spectacular gifts of childhood, and when you have grown ups around that encourage imagination and art and life and laughter… it clearly shines. Especially through the lens of a camera.
Have a look at some of my favorites from our fun filled sessions of Charlies first year with Exposure Photography. Its gone so fast….all i need to do now is make your book.  See you soon little man x

The wonderful Porritt clan welcomes their newest addition, Lyra Daisy.
