South Wales Baby Photography { Prop-tastic }

Goodness, I've neglected this blog over the last week. It's been a busy old time what with the Facebook Contest, booking the diary up for Christmas, getting orders together and I've got the builders in revamping what will eventually be my lovely new office (ehh herm - playroom).

Spent the weekend over on home turf. I'm a Somerset girl at heart although luckily have lost my accent after 12 years in sunny Wales. I do however slip back into old habits if I spend too long over there and am sure I have a touch of the Wurzels sneaking back in - must deal with that pretty sharpish!!

Let's talk props - I love them and have to admit to being a little addicted to rummaging for vintage goodies to use in my sessions. So, when I had the chance to do some early morning scavenging at a quaint little antiques centre in Chedder, I just couldn't resist - credit card? Check. Space in the boot of my car? Check. Look what I found ...



A 1950's toy pram - isn't it lovely?? It needs a bit of a tidy up but perfect for a newborn or toddler session. I might in fact save it for a very special session coming up with my new baby niece who is due any day - hurry up and arrive so I can photograph you!!!

However much I love a bit of vintage; when I turned up on Friday at the most simply stunning house I just knew that the props could stay put in the car. Beautiful furniture, sumptuous colours and fabrics, period features, gilt frames; every detail thought through with so much care and attention. I decided then and there to move in! Thanks to mum for a great session, baby was marvelous (although he didn't want to sleep!) and thanks for letting me gush unashamedly about your beautiful home. A couple of previews while I edit the rest :)





Did I mention that mum was stunning too??
