This week in the studio spring has arrived and we all say a big yay verily!

This means of course that it's time to meet lots of women with superbly fabulous bumps and then I get to photograph them again when baby arrives.

On Monday I met this lady who is going to have a little baby in April, she has the perfect bump!!

Today I have a newborn shoot and another bump shoot in the morning before going off to a wedding in the afternoon, next week I am going to have so many photos to share so stay tuned and in the meantime have a wonderfully sunny weekend.

Rebeccas Bump Shoot and the resulting bundle of loveliness

3 weeks before Christmas I met Rebecca and Matt, Rebecca wanted to celebrate her pregnancy with some fantastic maternity photographs and so thats what we did -

This one was one of my favourites! It's fun, funky and fabulous!!

Rebecca wore pregnancy very well with a glowing complexion and a neat and tidy bump!



Awww!!

so fast forward and 3 weeks later baby Finlay arrived 3 weeks early so last week I popped up to photograph him.




proud mummy Rebecca who after 3 weeks is looking amazing!



Daddy Matt is particularly proud of his little bundle of gorgeousness.



and I think we can see why! He's beautiful isn't he?



How cute are baby yawns?

Rebecca, Matt and Baby Finlay, thank you so much for letting me share in this most special time, I can't wait to see how he grows up over the next few months!!

Sarah-Janes Maternity Photoshoot {maternity photography newcastle}

Yesterday I went off to see Sarah Jane to capture some photographs of her fabulous bump, she's due in 8 weeks and the whole family is really excited as you can expect.

Sarah-Janes mum helped to organise the shoot which is no surprise because she is Carole-ann Osborne of Dream Days Wedding Planners, If you're looking for an amazing wedding planner Carole-ann is your woman.

Anyway back to Sarah-jane and her fabulous bump.


Oh how I wish I had looked even a tenth as good as this lady who hasn't even got one stretchmark and possibly the most perfect bump I have ever seen.




here she is with mum Carole-Ann.



That perfect bump where the new arrival is waiting to make her splendid entrance to the world in 8 weeks.




With her partner a very excited expectant dad.



Love, love, sweet, sweet love!



Check out the baby KSwiss trainers!

Sarah-Jane I hope you love these photographs as much as I do, it's going to be awesome to see your gorgeous baby grow over the next 12 months and I can't wait to meet her when she's born.
