All we want is a healthy baby
I wonder how many people ACTUALLY believe this statement when they’re saying it? I can understand if it’s a statement that comes with some history and I’m not saying that everyone doesn’t hope for a healthy baby.
What I’m suggesting is that is not ALL want people want. Or maybe it is, maybe pregnancy turns you into an idealist where…
There’s a misconception that women are great at multitasking and my wife is proof of that. I’m not suggesting that men are better at dealing with more than one task at a time either, I’m writing this article on a train and I’ve just missed my stop.
This is going to sound like a wife beater in A&E but my wife is pretty clumsy. She walks into trees, lamp posts and door…
A few weeks ago all of my wife’s pregnancy apps started telling us that baby can hear now. The general consensus from all of these apps are that we should sing to our unborn child.
Strangely there’s nothing about discouraging parents from reading the Daily Mail out loud but I guess that’s just common sense.
I’m by no stretch of the imagination a vocalist but in my twenties…
Last weekend I attended The Baby Show at London’s Excel Exhibition centre. If you’ve been following my Sympathy Pains articles you’ll know that my wife and I are expecting our first child this summer so my reasons for attending the show weren’t all work related.
Obviously I had my London Mums press hat on and my Baby Photographer sunglasses but I was wrapped firmly in a…
That is the first question that people ask you when you announce that you are having a baby. That or “Do you know what you’re having having?”
I especially like the second question as it implies that I might be the sort of person that finds out the sex of my future child but decides to keep it a secret…..for some reason.
I’ve since realised that “So do you know…
This phrase terrifies me as it should any expectant father regardless of income. It’s a sign of things to come. If one were to regard Marijuana as a gateway drug then Harrods isn’t exactly a gateway shop.
You might consider a gateway buggy shop something like Mothercare, Kiddiecare or ToysRUs.
After a while you dabble in the John Lewis sales and perhaps even spend a forgotten…
This article is going to make me sound like the worst man ever but I have a feeling I’m not alone. Firstly I should make it clear that I’m am very excited about having a new life coming to join us and live with us for a while.
I’ve been a baby photographer for the past four years which has been a bit like being the world biggest movie fan who sells tickets at a cinema…
So to update you we are at week 17 of our pregnancy and Emma is still feeling sick.
Luckily it’s only in the mornings, mid mornings afternoons and evenings. At lunch she’s fine.
Although I did get this email from her the other day.
How is your day going? I’m doing everything in my power to not puke on my desk.
Here’s the list of things I can no…
This last week I have been in attendance and speaking at The Societies photography convention here in London which is always a highlight in my calendar. Not only do I get to meet up with some old friends but there’s a huge trade show which gives me the chance to check out the latest gear and products.
As we have just opened up a new studio our walls are still very plain so we were…
So let me start at the beginning, well perhaps not the complete beginning but at some point not so long ago.
October was a busy month for me and one that changed my business completely. At the start of the month we discussed the possibility of opening a portrait studio in a soft play centre with its owners, by the second week of the month we had hired builders and were busy knocking down…
