Having a baby changes your life. Seemingly from one moment you go from, “oh hey, I have a large tummy and a vague sense that our lives will change soon” to “oh my god, there’s an actual baby in our lives now.”
I photographed A’s maternity session back in May and we tried to imagine how her life would change. Overdue at 10 months and waiting for her “perma-preg” period to be over, A was more than ready for F by June. F had her own timetable, however.Â
I was so excited to finally meet F one month later and to catch up with A and J. When I arrived in their home, I was greeted with smiles and an adorable little baby that couldn’t care less about why I was there. She only had eyes for her mum.
You know how everyone talks about soft baby skin and tiny feet? F had the softest and cutest tiny feet I’d seen. I love how A at one point joked that she thought her skin was silky smooth after shaving, but not after feeling F’s soft skin.
It’s already been almost two months since these photos were taken and I’m sure F has grown so much more in that time. I can’t wait to meet her again and watch as she grows and her personality develops. I’m also eager to see how A and J grow as parents. I’m sure they’ll do great as they were doing amazing already in the first month!
Without further ado, Baby F at One Month.

Oh wow! Last time I checked you had this incredible talent of fusing yoga and photography in the most incredible way and now you are impressing me with your work as a Newborn Photographer for the new parents of London!
haha, thanks Sarah! I can’t stick with one area, I love photographing too many things 🙂
You have a beautiful way with capturing newborns & their families!
Thank you so much, Amanda!
I absolutely love the way that you capture families. You make it seem like they are interacting without knowing a camera is watching them. I always refer all my friends looking for a London newborn photographer to you!
Aw, thank you Brie! My style is definitely more documentary rather than posed. I’m glad you like it! 🙂
So I know you mainly shoot newborns and yoga but I my mom and I are going on a trip to England/Scotland next year and I think I need to meet you/have you document one of our days in London! She just beat breast cancer so I want to make sure we celebrate the occasion!!!!
