I knew it would be a fabulous My First Year™ with Marie-Laure, James and their now 1.4 year old son Eliott! After photographing their wonderful wedding, I was so so pleased when they contacted me to tell me that they were expecting! Not only was it great to hear from this lovely couple, but they also asked me to document Eliott, their soon to be son’s, first year too…What an honour and what a handsome young man he’s turned out to be! Although with gorgeous parents, nobody would have doubted it!
I first met and photographed Eliott when he was a tiny and sleepy 22 day old baby. The joy on Marie-Laure and James’ faces was plain to see. They adored him, and I can see why! I next photographed Eliott when he was just a day short of being 6 months old, when his bubbly and heart warming personality was starting to shine through. He then had a Cake™ shoot just after his first birthday where he carefully demolished the scrumptious cake that was lovingly made by his Grandma! Eliott’s final My First Year™ shoot took place a few weeks ago when he was nearly one year and 4 months (so we went a little over his first year!). We spent a lovely couple of hours together in Isabella Plantations, Richmond Park capping off Eliott’s first year (and a bit) in style.
It’s been an incredible privilege watching and photographing Eliott over the past year and a bit. I’ve watched him grow from a tiny newborn into a smiley and expressive 6 month old, to a delicious little toddler. It’s been a real treat Marie-Laure and James and a big thank you for giving me the privilege xx
For now I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Below are a few (ok lots) of the many highlights from Eliott’s My First Year™.
I take on a very limited amount of baby and child shoots per year. If you are interested in a baby or child photo shoot you can see further examples of my work here, find out more about the photo shoots here or contact me for further information here. My diary is always very busy around this time of the year so be quick if you are thinking of booking a shoot!
Comments are much appreciated by my clients & I!
