I was so excited to catch up with this Godalming family for their photography shoot earlier this month! Having seen them last for their
baby shoot in February last year you can see just how much the boys have grown since their last Godalming family photography shoot! I hadn’t seen their gorgeous big sister for a couple of years since her last shoot. So there was plenty to catch up on! We had such a great time wandering around the gardens. Of course admiring the flowers, playing games and enjoying the spring sunshine. Thank goodness it’s arrived and we can all thaw out a bit! I have to admit I am not a huge fan of the winter as I really feel the cold. So I am always over excited when the daffodils and crocuses start appearing and we can remove our winter coats!
Kind words
Mum said after… “Thanks so much Nicola for capturing our family once again! You always make the session so much fun and the children respond to you so well. Which is why we love the natural and fun pictures that you take. With the boys being so young we weren’t sure how the pictures were going to turn out this time, but once again we couldn’t be happier with the results. It was hard to choose our favourites to put on the walls because we love them all! You are so clever! We are looking forward to seeing you again in September for the next family photoshoot, thank you!”
Thank you for your kind words. I can’t wait to see you again too, I bet the boys will be walking and talking (a bit!) by then!

This little baby girl from Horsham in West Sussex was so perfect in every way. It was so special to be her Horsham baby photographer for this delightful expanding family. The bond between this beautiful newborn baby and her parents was clearly so strong already! I love all the detail shots, it’s so special to record these otherwise it’s so easy to forget how tiny they once were! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much fabulous hair on a baby! My first child had very little hair for about a year. So I always find it amazing that babies can all be so different!
This little one was such a poppet throughout her baby photography session, as good as gold. Let’s hope she continues to be as good over the next few months!!! I can remember being so tired during those first few months. Thank heavens they do start to let you get a bit more sleep after a while!

It was such a treat to welcome back this lovely family. It was an honour to be their baby photographer Guildford Surrey to photograph their second child. This time a gorgeous bouncing baby boy! I first met them a couple of years ago when we did a maternity photography shoot in Guildford. This was before the arrival of their beautiful baby girl. Subsequently we did a newborn baby photography shoot for her. We’ve since done two other family photography shoots around Guildford documenting her journey into toddlerhood! This session was focusing just on their new arrival. Of course I am looking forward to photographing them as a family of four in the future.
It is so lovely documenting a family’s journey. Especially through those early days. You forget how small they once were. It’s a whirlwind of sleepless nights and desperately trying to navigate your way through the early weeks.

Are you looking for some pet photography Surrey or surrounding counties? I love including some pet photography on family photoshoots. Animals are such an important part of the family. So it’s pretty common for families to ask if I can include them! Of course I always do as it’s important to remember these much loved animals. It’s delightful to witness the interaction between children and their pets. They are often such close relationships. Therefore capturing the children having a cuddle and some fun with their pet brings out such a sweet and playful side of their personality. Over the years I’ve photographed all sorts of animals from cats and dogs, to horses, pigs and chickens! I always say there is no pet I can’t photograph. Although I would have to put by brave face on if you have a rat or a snake!
We have three much adored cats. Each has a very different personality. Occasionally I am lucky enough to get a photo of all three together. One is rather shy to we have to encourage her out into the garden.
If you would like a session just for your animal rather than humans too (!) that is fine. Happy to offer a bespoke session for exactly what you need. Maybe it’s just you and your horse, or the dogs together.

It has been such a sad week with the loss of one of our much adored kittens who was very much a part of the family. I’ve been trying to help the children to understand the loss of their pet and how we can remember Luke in a happy way. I’ve learnt quite a lot since Friday….
- Shopping in Guildford with no make and puffy eyes increases the probability of bumping into people you know. Leaving the hairdressers lowers the probability.
- After extensive driving, WHSmith has the best range of beanie boo cats in Surrey.
- Having new beanie boo cats does help to aid a child’s grief, however the peak seems to be about 6 beanie boos, after which the effect plateaus.
- A new ninja costume is a good distraction.
- Even though a cat is not a human it still causes so much grief, although thankfully more in adults than a child.
- A glass or 2 of wine helps, a whole bottle definitely does not.
- Naming your sibling pets something cute like Luke and Leia, makes the passing of one, more poignant as it’s more obvious one is missing.
- My children are very brave. My braveface needs to become more convincing.
- There is no limit to how many chocolate pancakes a 6 year old can eat.
- You can never have too many cuddles with those that you love.
Smiles are slowly returning but it’ll take a bit of time. 

It was so lovely to meet this gorgeous family from Wonersh in Surrey for their portrait photoshoot last week. I love being a Surrey portrait photographer for exactly the reason of meeting families like this! We had a great time playing in the leaves, jumping off logs and climbing trees, all great family fun! The parents said after “
Nicola was very personable and engaged so well with the children. She really captured their personalities and presented us with some beautiful and unique images.”
Thank you, it really was my pleasure! I love finding outdoor locations that are special to you. Places you can me yourselves, have space and be natural. Why not bring along your special teddy or other toys. It’ll remind you in years to come what is special to you. I love these type of pictures of my children.

My
baby photography package in Guildford Surrey are always popular and it’s easy to see why! The baby photography package consists of three baby photography shoots. These are over 12-18 months which gives you a real sense of a child growing. From tiny baby to crawler to toddler! It’s the most amazing and fast paced time of a child’s life! I loved meeting this family for their
newborn shoot back in the Summer of 2015, then again for a
9 month shoot in the Spring of this year. Now at 18 months Ava is a toddler!
The time flies by so it’s incredibly special to have these unique stages recorded. I loved spending time with this delightful family. I do hope they invite me to capture the children when they are a bit older. Throughout the year I do lots of baby photography packages in Guildford Surrey. In addition also surrounding towns like Woking, Godalming and Haslemere. I am happy to travel to your home or somewhere that is special to you.
There is plenty more information on baby sessions and pricing. If you’d like to see some recent portraits, please do view the galleries of bumps and babies, younger children, or families, or have a look at some past blogs featuring recent sessions.
