Helena and I have known each other since we were 12 years old, and as we both have a passion for photography we were both so excited in the lead up to her pregnancy session.  She was keen to work together on loads of ideas, and we all had a really fun morning executing all of our plans. 

I have loved watching Helena while pregnant.  She truly ‘glows’ with joy, and is indulging in every beautiful moment of this pregnancy.  This baby is so lucky to be born to such loving parents, and an extended family that is just busting to meet him or her! 

Helena & Gleb are some of the sweetest friends I have, and I was proud to work with them to photograph this very special moment just weeks before their little one arrives.  Here are my favourite images – there’s a lot!

To me, this second shot is SO ‘Helena & Gleb’ – Laney cracking up and Gleb looking decidedly cheeky!

LOVE these shots  :)

Helena and I studied Chinese together at high school, this tattoo is her name in Chinese characters – I love how it has stretched with the baby.

We had to get Biscuit into a few shots  ;-)

LOVE this  :)

I adore the following two images.  I realise the gritiness of film is not for everyone, but it’s one of the many reasons that I still shoot with film.  It makes me laugh when people quietly point out to me that a shot is grainy, it means I got it right  ;-)

Thank you so much for embracing this session like you both did, I’m proud of the work we’ve created together. 

Love you xx
