I had someone say to me the other day… ‘well you must have so much time off during the week, really you only work weddings on the weekends’… If only that were true.
On that note, I thought I’d share with you all what my weeks look like…

I shoot weddings Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Monday is my day off (which I always spend editing and answering emails), And feeling really bad on Pierce as this should be our day together!
Tuesday I shoot family sessions, baby book sessions, wedding viewings,

Wednesday is my day off, and I spend every minute with my beautifull little man, going to sign class, feeding group and making sure we have a great day together, My best day of the week.
Thursday I edit, answer emails, send out contracts and answer phone messages, do a few family shoots, Im working from nine till eight on a thursday….which takes me back to Friday… hey…. right back at weddings.   I love every moment of  it but I am a bit busy.

I feel I need to talk to you a little about our Baby book sessions.   We start  you off  by doing your maternity photos…. ( one of my favorite sessions) Then we continue your book with a session every month to keep track of your little one and to make sure you dont forget a single thing.   These sessions can include your christening and your childs first birthday.  We  spread the sessions over a year.  Evey parent who return to the studio to view there finals of  their little munchkins help me create the layouts,  we design everything to meet your needs.  Each parent who return are overwhelmed with the end result.   This has to be one of the most rewarding parts of my job and one of the sadest.

Im going to introduce to you one of my little darlings who has been with me since she was four months, she is now three and a half going on twenty three!  It would be cruel of me not to share a Photo of each session with you.   Lydel… you are absolutely beautiful.
I love all of you reading my blog, and am so excited to have such a warm response from so many of you about my shoots/weddings and daily happenings. You are all wonderful!

I dont think I can ever forget what had happened during this next shoot, I had asked Lee to hold Lydel up close to his face…… She is a busty little nude by the way, So we are getting right into the shoot and she wee’s all over her dad….. the funny thing is that Lee actually said “If she wee’s mind Andrea im going to get you!”   Big Oops sorry Lee……!

I remember the first day I meet this angel, I was having a bad day, one of those days.  I was trying to pull myself around,  pull my boots up… when along came  Ashleigh Rose and it all melted away.  What a gorgeous little creation.  What a joy to photograph.  Every studio session we have had has been a one to remember. I cannot beleive a year has gone so fast.  I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite images of a spirited, wonderful child.  What a fabulous job I have.  Im going to miss this one for sure. X

I hope you guys come back in to see me every year or so. x

Beautiful, loving, amazing and all mine and Peters. Yes he is five months, where has the time gone?

Um… I’m not sure if  there are words for this level of cuteness!!!
I might be biased but my boy is off the charts.

Im sat at work and im so busy with weddings, I have 5 in the space of 7 days!  But I dont care just how busy I am nothing is going to stop me working on these pics this morning. Just editing them makes me miss him so much. What a happy little man I have,  lots of  love,  lots of smiles,  I have so much to be happy about. What an adorable shoot!  Let me know what you think!?!

If anyone has babies then 5-6 months is the best time for you to be getting them in the studio, unless your already are a  part of our baby book sessions. Call us for more details.

I cant beleive this has come to an end. I have seen it all with little Sophia…. angel/ devil. She first came to my studio back in August 2007 and just take a look at how much she has grown.  Hope you bring her in to let me see her. Or just have another one!   Brace yourselves… this little girl may just melt your heart into a big mass of warm and fuzzy goo. Im going to miss you x

Here we go, well i couldn’t stop off work forever, could I? And I need to give Claire, my assistant, some time off from all the hard work she has been doing, well done and a big thank you for keeping care of Exposure for me.

An emotional day all round, Pierce had his first day at nursery, my first week without feeding him from myself and his first week in his very own bedroom!  Trying to get back into work without having Pierce by my side was hard.  There are many beautiful gifts in the world. They come in the most amazing packages, and at times, exactly when you need it.  My first photo session could only be with a beautiful new baby.  I’d like to introduce to you little Archie Matthew Hall. He has to be one of my favorites for sure. How many babies have I photographed?… A lot. Check out his little attitude already. Do I love it?…Absolutely. Who wouldn’t.  Kay actually had planned to work with me and look after the business when I was on maternity leave, only she sat in my seat and this is the result!  But what a great little bunddle of joy they now have.  So If your in my studio soon anyone, keep away from the Director chair! Hope you enjoy my selection of fantastic pics of Archie. And a big Thank you to Kay and Matt for bringing him in so soon.  Have a fab weekend, enjoy the sun and feel free to leave comments. X
