Its tempting to postpone a photo shoot when its raining, but kids are resilient and usually don’t mind getting wet providing you make the shoot fun.  Catherine, Michael and Roya were no different in fact I reckon we got more natural and original pictures than if we’d done this with the sun shining.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from today’s photo shoot with Tracy Steve and their very special little boy Sam at their home in Bedfordshire. We were able to take some family portraits and individual shots of Sam and his parents indoors in their home which is flooded with natural light, and outdoors too since the rain held off until later.

I photographed Mariella nine months ago when she was just six days old. Needless to say she’s changed a bit since then. Bluebells in the woods gave a brilliant natural background to this family photo shoot.
