little angel, 6 days new
I’m not sure you can time a birth, newborn portraits, and a holiday as good as this! This little one’s due date was exactly one week before I was due to leave on a 2-week trip to Kenya and Tanzania! No problem, she arrived right on time and her newborn portraits were taken the day before I got on the plane to Nairobi – phew! But then I had to wait two whole weeks before I could process her images – torture!
Introducing the sweetest, most adorable little angel, Angelina…



*gasp* isn’t she ADORABLE?!!!! :-) and so teeny tiny!
I had the hardest time ever choosing which images to blog in this sneak peek! Here’s a couple more…

love her little scrunched up sleepy face!

Congratulations to the proud parents, and thank you so much for allowing me to capture these precious first moments of your daughter. It was a fabulous session, and I’m so glad I was able to meet her before my trip!
Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! :-)

Ohhh.. I’m enjoying editing the photos from this session! Such a cutie.. here’s Elisabeth! We squeezed in a session on the very day she turned 18months old. She was fun, so full of energy and walking all over the place! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

This was the very first photo I took as I was just testing the lights..but ohhh it’s a keeper – just look at her giggling away! Infectious giggles too! Are you smiling? I am! :-)

Effortlessly cute and gorgeous… don’t you think?!
Thank you sooooo much to Mom and Dad for patiently waiting for their sneak peek.. gallery coming soon!

the gift of custom portraiture
Earlier in the year the Family Solutions Netherlands Initiative held the first of their conference series. As well as being a Sponsor for the event, Tigs Creations Photography also donated ‘the gift of custom portraiture’ as a raffle prize. Congratulations to the winners, here’s a sneak peek from their session…

There are so many beautiful images that it was hard choosing which ones to share! Such a gorgeous family, it was really wonderful to meet you all.
For me, this next one really sums up the whole session with this little guy – just *had* to share it! :-)

LOVE his expression! He was a lot of fun, and amazing how much energy he had! :-)
Can I sneak in one more….

Just look at those eyes, so beautiful, she’s gorgeous!
I really had a big smile after this session – hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Frøya’s visit to the petting zoo
The beautiful Frøya, one of my Baby Plan clients, is growing up! Here she is at 17 months enjoying a morning at the local petting zoo. She was non-stop the entire time, walking from one end of the field to the other and then back again – and she was super quick too! LOVE her little burberry outfit – so cute with all those little frills!

I just love the curious way she was watching the cows in the photo below :)

Such a sweetheart :-)

baby love
Just a quick update on my availability… I’m now booking sessions late-October and November so if you’re thinking of sending portraits as Christmas gifts for your families, don’t wait to secure your date! For newborns, please contact me asap and before your due date – I always try to make room in my schedule for newborn sessions :)
and….. whilst on the subject of newborns…
Just a few short weeks ago I met this gorgeous family. Here’s a few of my faves from our session: meet Sami, and his little brother, Dani, 25 days new.

So so sweet.. and I love those cute little newborn toes too!

Just look at those gorgeous eyes, Sami is going to melt some hearts with those, for sure!

This one makes me smile :) these are two very handsome little boys!
And here’s the family of four:

It was a pleasure to meet you all, I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek…!

kiss kiss | sweet newborn lips
Ohhh… just look at this little cutie-pie!

Meet the gorgeous Matteo… doesn’t he just make your heart melt?! It took quite some time before he slept, but once he drifted off into dreamland he was a little angel.. let’s take a closer look at those gorgeous lips….

*kiss kiss* :-)

sleep peacefully little angel…
I love this next one, so precious.. ohhh.. those beautiful lips!

and the last one in the sneak peak, here he is safe in daddy’s hands..

I hope you enjoyed them.. I’m smiling a big smile, as I always do when I’m editing newborn photos…!
Thank you to my clients for your patience, I’m a little later than normal with a sneak peek but I’m quickly catching up and there are plenty more beautiful photos arriving in your gallery very soon… I will be in touch!

a little miracle
Let me introduce you to Amelia Rose….

She is oh so gorgeous! and at just 7 days old here she was still so very tiny, and so sleepy too! such a dream to work with…

Many congratulations to her parents, Mark and Sammy – thank you so much for inviting me to your home to photograph your precious daughter – didn’t I time my trip to the UK well ;-) It was lovely to see you both, and to meet Amelia. I have many more photos to come, but these two just melt my heart, hope you love them just as much as me!
And here’s a few more from the end of the session..



She is so loved.
I can’t wait to see you all again. I’ll be in touch when I have the rest of your images ready :-)

12 months, already?
Just a little over a week ago I photographed Frøya’s 12 months portraits as part of her Baby Plan package. Oh, how much do I love watching her grow up? Soooo much! Here’s a quick sneak peek from her session…

I am sooo loving black and white photos lately ;) but…. I really love this outfit too, so I have to share a colour version as well!

Oh the concentration! :)

It was so much fun to watch her read her books. In this one she was happily pointing out all the animals to me… the lion, the giraffe, the rabbit…. :)
Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!
