The beautiful borrowed moments
A snip in the ribbon of time
What worth, what giving, what joy is explored
In the art of having fun.


The beautiful borrowed moments
A snip in the ribbon of time
What worth, what giving, what joy is explored
In the art of having fun.


A moment -
A brief, tantalising, delicious moment;
A confirmation of honesty;
A connection to the soul;
As a baby photographer, a moment is worth the wait;
Sometimes, a moment is all that is needed.

It was such a long day today for my beautiful little people.
Driving, eating, playing, driving, napping, playing, eating, playing, eating…
They are so very good to me.
And still, even when it’s past his bedtime, Charlie Bucket flashes me a glance that makes me wish the hours in the day were just that little bit longer so I can soak up this beautiful day for a while more yet.

She.
As beautiful as the breath of first light over the horizon on a misty morning.
In fact, even more so.


Play with me
Run with me,
Have a little fun with me
Get the hose and make mud with me
Show me the scabs on both your knees
Climb on me
Tickle me
Play with me
Run with me
Dance with me
Sing with me
Have a little fun with me
Stare at each other
‘Til we start laughing
Splash me in the deep blue see
Pick some plums off the old the plum tree
Dance with me
Sing with me
- Glen Phillips “Have a little fun with me “
Sometimes it’s the little things that make you smile – listening to the melodic drumming of rain on your roof as you lie in bed snuggled up safe and warm, being offered the last biscuit on the plate that you’ve been secretly hoping no one else would eat, catching all of the green lights on your way driving somewhere, giggles coming from the kids room when they’re supposed to be sleeping, the way your whole world lights up with the genuine support of a stranger who offers their help ‘just because’, finding your favourite pair of sunglasses you thought you’d lost in a handbag you never use…
Sometimes it’s the little things.
Little things like Arabella.
She made me smile.
A lot.



When I photographed her as a newborn, I knew what a pleasure it would be watching her grow. What joy it would bring into my life seeing her change bit by bit every time we played together. Watching her learn, discover and beautify her life with all there was around her.
Even at birth her eyes were magnetic. That hasn’t changed. She is strong, with such a beautiful soft side truly reflective of the woman she will one day grow in to. She is connected to her surrounding, to love, to security. She adores the temptation of play. She is cheeky, inquisitive and fiercely loyal. She shines and inspires those around her.
Yes, April – watching you grow is a pleasure. I am so happy you are in my life xx



“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing…”
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta


Oh little man, your possibilities are infinite and without limits.You are loved and adored in more ways than soft hairs upon your head. From the wispy peach fuzz on your cheeks to the beautiful furrow in your chin as you sleep, your good nature and trust in me made my soul happy. Everybody is so grateful to have you here.
Sometimes we are fortunate enough to experience moments of great love and great worth. You, my tiny friend, allowed me the share both with you.
Thank you xx
