Capturing natural pictures of babies is one of my favourite things to do. Although we’ve got a fully equipped studio I much prefer to photograph babies at their home. That way if baby needs to be changed, or have a sleep or a feed it’s no problem. Much less stressful for the baby and for the parents too. I couldn’t imagine ever adopting the production-line approach of some studios. You get your hour slot and that’s that. What happens if baby is off form, or they get stressed out by the whole studio experience?

I photographed twins Alex and Ava at their home in North London. Although you can’t tell in these pictures Alex really wasn’t feeling herself. So I’m going back in a few days to do another session with them. I’m always happy to reschedule or come back and do another shoot at no charge if for some reason baby isn’t in the mood for photographs. Stuff happens

Here’s a sneak preview of a few of my favourites from the first shoot. More to come
