Happy International Women’s Day! 🤍

International Women’s Day Portrait Series 2023

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the world. May we continue to support and empower one another every day. Here's to all the incredible women out there - keep shining!

Thank you to all the strong women in my life, who inspire me, who challenge me, who make me push myself.

I wanted to created a portrait series to honour us women in business. Most of us, working mums juggling running a business and family life. Here are some inspirational female entrepreneurs, business owners and mums that I’ve had the pleasure to work with, collaborate with and share a coffee with.

Thank you all for getting involved. You ladies are truly amazing. It was such fun capturing your portraits and it was amazing for you all to meet each other and form new connections. I truly believe when women support each other and cheerlead us on amazing things can happen!

Tricia, Postnatal Doula & IBCLC @triciakingperinatal

American born Tricia King has called Hertfordshire home for nearly half of her life. Mum of three, Tricia lives with her husband, sons and dogs, and when she isn't working you might find her listening to an audio book or working on a crochet project. She works with her clients in a variety of ways, supporting many aspects of the perinatal journey, such as preparing for birth, optimising infant feeding, supporting parents with sleep or sharing mental well-being tools. Tricia is passionate about supporting clients through the early stages of matrescence, that transition to motherhood which can sometimes take us by surprise with its joys, intensity and challenges. Tricia's favourite parts of postnatal support are preparing tasty and nourishing meals for her clients and then sitting down with a cup of tea to truly listen to them.  

You can find Tricia to book birth and postnatal doula support, lactation consultations or coaching packages.

She also provides postnatal recovery massage/closing the bones ceremonies, responsive sleep support, and mental wellbeing support.

Feeding Time is a children’s party catering business based in Harpenden, which Kate has been running since 2016.  She provides beautifully presented, homemade party teas with the crucial added fun factor (party hats, jokes, napkins and googly-eyed fruit all come as standard!)  Feeding Time has become very well-known locally and over time the business has grown significantly.

Jen, Lingerie Inventor & Founder @no.1bra

Jen earned her title as an inspirational woman when she changed the design of the typical bra so that it actually works with the natural shape of women’s bodies– not against it. Hail the world’s most comfortable No. 1 Bra.

For over 30 years Jen has designed bras for some of the world’s biggest brands – from high end to high street, so she knows her way around a DD cup or two. She was inspired by talking to women who divulged their uncomfortable bra stories and realised that as women, we just accept that bras are uncomfortable. And the reason for this? The underwired structure hadn’t changed in 50 years, yet women’s lives and bodies have.

Jen’s revolutionary design ensures that women can now have a drawer full of bras that are so comfortable, you forget you are wearing them and not only do they deliver on comfort, but they also deliver on support and style too!

Baby Photography - Harpenden

I spent a wonderful morning down by the Duck Pond in Harpenden, Hertfordshire with this gorgeous mummy and 5 month baby boy a few weeks ago.

It was one of those perfect mornings. The light was stunning, the reflection on the water was crystal clear and the spring colours were simply gorgeous. I had driven pass the pond a few time while searching for an outdoor location for this Motherhood Photography Session. I walked around the pond and saw the natural wild reeds and the ducks in the pond I knew this was the perfect spot.

I find these images so peaceful and calming. A sleeping baby safe and snuggled with his mother. This is the definition of Motherhood.

Harpenden, St Albans and the surroundings towns in Hertfordshire have some stunning locations that are perfect for outdoor photography shoots.

Outdoor Cake Smash Photo Shoot Hertfordshire

This was the most magical and Pinterest worth photo shoot!

Baby Griffin, was such a good boy during his outdoor cake smash photo shoot. Mummy Molly had the sweetest vision in mind for celebrating and capturing the first year milestone and the results are adorable!!!!!

After seeing the ideas I suggested we try for an outdoor photo shoot. The whimsical teepee, eucalyptus branches along with the texture blankets against the tropical greenery backdrop make for such cute photographs. I ordered the stunning cake for a local bakery.

During the photo shoot, we played some games of peek-a-boo in the teepee and had a little singing session to get Baby Griff comfortable and ‘photo shoot’ ready. He didn’t need much encouragement. His big Sister Berkeley was on hand to help enjoy the cake smashing!

There are many ways to capture your babies first birthday on film, whether you opt for a cake smash photo shoot, a family portrait session or a relaxed shoot at home, these photographs will be treasured for many years!

Happiest of Birthday!

Meet the Photographer - Evie Grace Photography

I thought I should introduce myself to those of you that are new to following me. My name is Emily, mummy to Evie Grace and Baby Jack! I set up my business when Jack was still in my tummy (hence I named it after my daughter. Hopefully Jack won’t mind 🤞🏻)

Evie is now 2.5years old and Jack is 7months this week. I love being a mummy and am very blessed to have two rainbow babies. My journey to motherhood was long, emotional and full of ups and downs. But it was all worth it for these two beautiful humans!! I still can’t believe I made them!! I’ve been working in the photography industry for 7 years before deciding it was time to follow my dream and set up on my own business! 

Thank you for visiting my site and I hope my photographs provide you some smiles and joy! Hopefully we can meet in person to capture some beautiful portraits together soon once the Circuit Breaker is over. Until then cuddle you loved ones, be kind to yourself and eat all the yummy cake!

Love Emily xx

Baby Photographer London, Hertfordshire

I hope you all had a lovely Easter celebrating with your family.

I captured these cute photographs of my son Jack with his Jellycat bunny’s and baby chick in our home. I love the soft whimsical light and airy feel to the images.

Easter is one of my favourite holidays I love all the fun craft making, planning the egg hunts and eating yummy food. My daughter Evie wasn’t feeling well on the day but she still managed to do our little egg hunt around her room and she found her chocolate egg and card from the Easter Bunny. She was so excited.

I hope you all managed to get some cute photographs of the kids.

Take Care

A Feminine Maternity Portrait Session

The beautiful Candie, mummy-to-be of twins got in touch as she was really keen to capture some natural, candid and very feminine images of her pregnancy. During our first conservations on the phone we discussed the options to do the session at home, outdoors or at the studio.

Candie loved the idea of the studio with its simple and classic background. I gave lots of recommendations for outfits ideas and hair and make up and suggested we create a Pinterest board for all our ideas for her shoot.

At the beginning of the session we had a lovely cup of tea together to get to know each other and were chatting about her expecting twins. This really help to build her trust and comfort levels.

I adorable these super feminine, natural portraits. I think every mummy-to-be deserves to feel special and beautiful during their pregnancy journey. I love it when my clients are brave enough to proceed with images like these and are proud to capture their gorgeous maternal bodies.

Candie you are truly glowing in these Images. Your going to make an amazing mummy!

I can’t wait to meet the twins soon.

All the best

Newborn Photography Harpenden, Hertfordshire

Newborn Photography at home is one of my favourite types of session. The natural daylight at home provides a soft, natural and fresh look to the photographs. We are lucky that we have such beautiful light in Hertfordshire.

During the portrait session, I love to capture the little details of your newborn baby such as their tiny hands and feet, the flakey skin and wisps of hair. It’s these images that I find most striking and emotional.

One of my favourite poses is the daddy holding the baby he is hands and arms. It’s this image that I find you can see the true size of the baby and just how little they are. I love the warm of daddies big hands and arms securely holding the baby and knowing they will always be protected and safe.

Of course, I ensure I capture those ‘must have images’ of the baby alone bundle up looking adorable, the happy new family together, the sibling images, and the new parents with the little baby too.
