It was great to catch up with Elin and Tom again. I last saw them in 2017 after the birth of their first son, Oshan. To view the pictures from that shoot click here. I know Tom and Elin from when I photographed their wedding in 2013. It’s lovely that they’ve kept in touch and choose to use me to photograph their special occasions.

Ion’s newborn shoot was a super fun filled family affair. His big brother was so enthusiastic and keen to be involved in lots of the shots! The warmth and character of this family really translates across the images.

Sometimes one picture is all you need, or in this case, all my client wanted. After seeing a similar picture on my website of another baby, she loved it so much she wanted to recreate the shot. Click here to see the images from that shoot.

Imogen

June 06, 2019 by gill thomas

Well, what can I say about little Imogen? Such a star! Quite possibly one of the cutest little bundles I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. After a long, long feed at the start of the shoot it seemed to do just the trick as she casually laid on the bed while Mum and I gently moved her into various different positions. She was happiest on her tummy sucking on her arm, and hey, it makes for some super sweet pics!

Freddie

May 17, 2019 by gill thomas

I love this collection of black and whites from a new born shoot I did a few weeks ago. The exception is the lovely colour one of Freddie and the family dog, which makes me chuckle! I actually did a photography workshop with Freddie’s Mum while she was pregnant. She booked in on one of my courses as she has a DSLR but no idea how to use it properly. I did three sessions with her which focused on camera basics, technique and post production. She booked me for her son’s newborn shoot to not only capture some lovely photos of him but to show her it’s done so she can continue to capture every moment of Freddie growing up.

It’s not always about quantity. Sometimes you only need a couple of shots to capture little babies and their beautiful characters. That was very much the case in this instance.

Mia

January 25, 2019 by gill thomas

My little newborn shoots are enjoyable, relaxed and informal. The whole family is welcome to join in and that extends to pets too! They last for 60 minutes with plenty of time to set up and pack away, meaning clients can enjoy a full 60 minute of photos. We often break for feeds, cuddles and soothing. The pace is gentle.

I was delighted to meet Little Mia a few weeks ago. She was a very cool customer and didn’t even object to a little cuddly bear being placed softly on her back to hide her modesty. I like to incorporate my client’s own belongings such as special blankets, toys etc. It makes the photos more personal.

Elliot

November 24, 2018 by gill thomas

Little Elliot was fantastic with a capital F! A very smiley, happy and adorably chunky bubbly boy! I arrived in plenty of time to set up, as I always do for a newborn shoot, and had a quick scout around the house before opting for the family bedroom upstairs. There was a nice amount of light coming in from a side window and a lovely large, super soft bed. It was also the warmest room in the house, perfect if little one was going to be in the nude.

Below is just a small selection of photos. As with all my newborn shoots, all pictures are included in the price. I think this particular family received over twenty images, all of which they were very pleased with. Go to my review page to see what they said about their experience with me. Click here.

Anya

October 26, 2018 by gill thomas

This photoshoot with baby Anya took place took place in Hampnett, just outside Cheltenham. As with all my newborn shoots, it was very relaxed and inclusive of the whole family. Big sister Lianna was keen to be involved in lots of the photos, which was lovely. There were pauses in between shots for feeds and cuddles and plenty of time at the beginning and end to set up and pack away. Leaving this extra time is something I always do and means families get a full 60 minutes of photos.

All digital files are included in the price of the shoot. If you would like to book something similar then please get in touch using my contact page or send an email to info@mouseabouttown.co.uk. Alternatively, give me a call on 07983 465414. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.

Hardy

July 28, 2018 by gill thomas

After a busy Summer I’m finally getting around to updating the website. This photo shoot with gorgeous newborn Hardy took place in July. She was ever such a sweetheart. In between feeding breaks she would happily let Mum gently position her as I assisted with positioning the support pillow.

All of my newborn photo shoots are relaxed and informal. All members of the family are welcome to get involved and I always leave plenty of time to set up meaning clients get a full 60 minutes of photos.

Blanca

May 19, 2018 by gill thomas

This is the second time I have photographed Maria and her family but the first time I've met baby Blanca. Her older brother, Pablo, was still as cheeky as ever and like most three year olds, wasn't one to keep still! Nonetheless we still got the picture of the pair of them together that Maria was so keen to capture as well as lots of other lovely individual photos. To make best use of my time, during feeding breaks I would take photos of Pablo which meant Maria got maximum photo time and excellent value for money.

Ezra

February 19, 2018 by gill thomas

Gorgeous Ezra is about three weeks old in these photos and I must say he was a very amenable, easy going little fella. Apart from stopping for two or three feeding breaks he was more than happy to be photographed and encouraged into various different positions. His parents had were keen on black and white photos and so during post production I changed the colour balance of all the best ones.

As with all my newborn photo shoots, they are 60 minutes long and include all of the high resolution digital files. I arrive a little early and leave a little late to give me time to set up and pack up meaning you get a full hour of photos.

Aaryan

February 09, 2018 by gill thomas

Little Aaryan is only a week old in these photos but he was full of personality! His parents had the room nice and warm so he was more than happy to be stripped down. We spent the hour gently posing him in different positions, stopping for feeds and cuddles and generally taking it nice and slowly. His parents were very grateful for my calm and relaxed approach.

Lorenzo

January 08, 2018 by gill thomas

I first met Lorenzo's Mum, Mercedes, a few years ago when she booked me for a photo shoot in Pittville Park with her brother and sister. The photos were to be a surprise birthday present for their parents. Just two years later and it was great to see Mercedes again, a Mum herself now, and meet her gorgeous little boy, Lorenzo.

Jessica

November 25, 2017 by gill thomas

This little bundle of joy was a delight to photograph. She snoozed in between periods of wakefulness and had the odd top up of milk in between shots too. As with all of my newborn photo shoots, the 60 minutes was very relaxed and easy going.

Jackson & Joshua

October 27, 2017 by gill thomas

Last week I photographed a gorgeous set of twins - Jackson & Joshua. Born prematurely they were tiny but very cute. Although this is the first time I have met the boys, it was the second time I have photographed Dylan - their dog. I met him a few years ago when his owners, Shosannah and Adam, brought him into my photography studio. He hasn't changed a bit! Click here to view the photos from that shoot.

Reuben

September 01, 2017 by gill thomas

Last Saturday I popped round to Sally and Ben's house to photograph their little bundle of joy: Reuben. As with all my newborn photo shoots, the session was very relaxed and informal. He was a hungry boy so there were frequent feeding breaks, during which I would set up for the next shot so as to make efficient use of the time.

Mum and Dad enjoyed plenty of cuddles as I discretely snapped away. We also focused on some individual portraits of Reuben using various support aids that I brought with me. These are just a few highlights of the full collection they received.

Toby

July 21, 2017 by gill thomas

Last week I was in Stow with Jess to photograph the newest addition to her family: Toby.

Jess had booked a bump to birth package with me so it was great to catch up with her again and hear all about how she had been getting on. To see the pictures from her bump shoot click on the link below:

Bump Photo Shoot

It was also brilliant to see her daughter, Millie again, who had grown up so much since we last met. She was loving being a big sister and had plenty of cuddles to give!

Jess was particularly keen on black and white shots so, although I took everything in colour as I always do, I converted more into black and white than usual. There was no extra charge for this, all part of the service!

If you have just had a baby or are expecting and are thinking about having a bump to birth shoot, then go to my prices page and check out my packages. All photo shoots are affordable and inclusive of all the digital files, meaning you get all the good ones! You can get in touch using my contact page or give me a call on 07983 465414.

Oshan

May 20, 2017 by gill thomas

I really enjoyed this photo shoot with gorgeous Oshan and his big sister, Dotty the dog! His parents, Elen and Tom, were married at Cripps Barn in 2013, and I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding. They were so pleased with their wedding photos I was their first choice when it came to capturing their son's first precious moments.

Oshan was a delight all the way through the relaxed and informal 60 minute shoot. We stopped for the occasional milk feed and cuddles, during which I set up the next shot. The funniest moments were the pictures we captured with Dotty, their beautiful Labrador. She was exceptionally well behaved and ever so gentle with little Oshan.

Clara

April 12, 2017 by gill thomas

Last Friday I headed over to Pittville for a newborn photo shoot. Being the time of year I brought along lots of Autumn props including freshly picked leaves that Miss Mouse and I had collected together the previous day, gourds and apples from our apple tree.

Baby Clara is just 4 days old in these photos. She is a gorgeous little thing.
