While the days are still short, the skies are dark and the grass is wet, I just had to revisit this mummy and me photography session from last October in the fields of Downswood, Maidstone, Kent.

First-time parents Maja and Nathan booked a very impromptu, and last-minute, maternity session with me ahead of their little one’s arrival in early November.

“A cake smash is where a one-year-old gets very messy with a cake and a professional photographer captures the moment.” So with my pop up studio and a large roll of white paper to protect the floors, I was ready for all the cake this little one could throw at me!

I met Holly and her adorable family one weekend evening, just as the daytime visitors were packing up and heading for the car park. And I couldn’t be more thrilled with just how beautifully the photos came out!

Socially distanced photoshoots – capturing you in/outside of your home! All while remaining either 6ft away or on the other end of the phone!

We’re not totally alone in our isolation – others are experiencing it too. So now is the perfect time to speak up and check-in with those around us, both for our own mental well being and theirs.
