M is seven months pregnant, so we took the chance to get some maternity shots as well!

I love doing silhouette photographs, and the light was perfect for it on Saturday:

The family has a little boy who is almost four, who was looking VERY cool in his leather jacket. He wasn’t quite sure what to make of me with a big camera at first, but he did a great job posing by the end!

Here’s a final one with his mum:

I really enjoyed photographing this fun family – the location is beautiful, the lighting was perfect and the family were great!

Also present was the proud father L, who was a great assistant when I needed one, as well as a fantastic model with L too!

And last, but not least, I must not forget Winston, their gorgeous family dog. One of the things he loves the most is resting his head on L’s tummy.

The excited parents-to-be are one of those rare couples who do not know whether the baby will be a boy or a girl! I can’t wait to find out either.

I recently invested in a portable backdrop system for use in homes where there isn’t enough room for a full studio (which in London is most homes!) Although it was still a bit cramped, this system is perfect for regular portraits such as these, or for children that don’t escape too far..

I leave you with a stunning pose that I am still in awe L was able to do this far along!

It was a genuine pleasure working with L and L and Winston, and I am very much looking forward to hearing about your new arrival!
