    Amy answered the door at 9am on a fairly sunny Sunday morning in County Durham.  After a quick exchange of niceties as I unpacked my camera, I snuck upstairs to join Stuart (Dad), Isla and Louie in the bathroom.

    Isla immediately played up to the camera.  Mummy Amy said that she had been super excited about the session – and it radiated through her smile.  Louie was a bit shier to begin with, and so was Stuart to be honest!

    I really love capturing bathtime.  Children just love it.  And snuggles in towels are always so adorable.  To top it off Isla had the most beautiful hair.  The most perfect of ringlets cascading down her back.  You’ll see there’s a theme to a lot of my photographs of their session – I think I became a bit entranced by it!

    Following on from bathtime, I joined The Grahams at breakfast and as they played in the garden, repotted plants, hung some new twinkle lights on the shed and then greeted Nanny with the biggest of open arms – beautiful (you’ll need to watch the film for that bit! – I’ll post that tomorrow.)

    So, here are some of my favourite moments from our morning together . . . enjoy.

    PS – Amy is the editor of the Northumberland edition of Raring2Go!  The best What’s On Guide for the area.  They’re available nationally.  If you haven’t picked up a copy, but are always looking for places to go, things to do (whether you have children or not) they really are the handiest of publications.  You can find them in your kiddie’s school bag, at the local doctors surgery, in local galleries and other establishments – basically all over!


    The Graham Family moving portrait is now also available for your viewing pleasure . . . pop on over to my next blog post.  


    If you would like to capture your own EveryDay, I offer Unscripted Sessions from one hour, to three hours (such as Amy’s) to an entire day and beyond!  For more information about my Unscripted Sessions, pop on over to this page.  But you can also request a New Client Guide, which is full of useful information from what to wear, how to display your images from your session and more.  You can request your guide: here!


    Lastly, if you enjoyed The Graham’s Unscripted Session, you might also enjoy my session with The Turnbulls from last Autumn.  A full day at Aydon White Cottage.  Breakfast to Bedtime.
