About Me

I am the girl behind the lens- the sole photographer at Egg In The Nest Photography. I began a devoted interest to photography when I picked up my first SLR camera over three years ago. I had previously owned various cameras and had always wanted to pursue photography while I dabbled in graphic design and in illustrations since the early age of eleven. Once I became pregnant I found immense joy in documenting my life experience of becoming a mother for the first time. Now that I am a mother, I have a tremendous love for the moments I spend with my son and husband and take great joy in having the ability to capture those moments for us all to reflect upon as my son and our family grows. I find such pleasure in capturing not only the seen but the unseen- the idea behind the gleam in the eyes, the sudden notion that makes a little one giggle and the elated moments when there is a tiny kick from the imminent arrival. I love this so much that I want to share this experience by capturing such wonderful images for you and yours to love and cherish too!

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to here from you!

FANTASTIC BABY FAIR FUN {WORCESTERSHIRE PHOTOGRAPHER}

I had a fantastic day at the Worcester City Baby Fair on Saturday! I had a chance to meet lots of wonderful people and get a good look at their products, and in some cases even a yummy taste! I had lots of interest in future portrait sessions and had a great time meeting some wonderful new arrivals. There was also a great deal of interest in the Hereford & Worcester Breastfeeding Calendar for 2011, which is very exciting as now we have 12 mothers & 12 babies for our 12 months!!!!!!!! You can see more on that here.

As for some of the great vendors that were at the baby fair, there was: Skylark Organics, Glazydayz Pottery, Forever Living, JoBean, Twigs 4 Kids & The CakeWoman along with many more! I am always a fan of oragnics so the Twigs 4 Kids, Forever Living and Skylark Organics really appealled to me. I could not resist the smell of the CakeWoman’s cupcakes! They were completely irresistable especially since she was just the next stall over from me. And Glazydayz and JoBean were providing fantastic homemade goods. We snatched up some of JoBeans bibs for the littel guy.

Here are some of my pictures from the day…

BREASTFEEDING CALENDAR PROMOTION & NEWS {HEREFORD & WORCESTER CHARITY PHOTOGRAPHY}

I was approached by Karen Craven, editor of the Hereford & Worcester Families Magazine at the end of last year. She was interested in running an editioral on my charity work for creating a breastfeeding calendar and as the June Breastfeeding Awareness Week  ( 21-27 June ) approaches, what better time to talk about it than now!  I am still in need of volunteer mothers for modeling with their young ones for the 2011 calendar. All the profits will be donated to the local NCT breastfeeding support. See what Karen had to say HERE in the May/June Edition of the Hereford & Worcester Families Magazine!

A CORNISH CHRISTENING {ON-LOCATION INFANT PHOTOGRAPHY}

I had an oppurtunity to photograph the christening of Baby C on the Cornish coast. It was a chance I could not pass up! Baby C was christened at St Petroc’s Church in Padstow. It was a beautiful event with an amazing turn out for this special occasion. God Bless Baby C.

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday ~Kahlil Gibran

WELCOME BABY J {WORCESTERSHIRE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER}

It was an absolute pleasure and joy to meet Baby J for the first time! He was so tiny and precious. Baby J became very alert and quickly spotted me and my camera. I think he was trying his best to pose and make this session a great one…being honest though, the camera loved him xoxox

AWAITING THE CLEVER BOY {MATERNITY}

I was thrilled to finally meet Anne in her last week of pregnancy. She was glowing and anxiously awaiting her little boy, who will be named Jinc Ling (clever boy).

It turned out to be a beautiful day for us to take some lovely maternity portraits along with her husband David at their lovely home. Here is their sneak peek…

I think this one may be my new favourite maternity image…hope you love it Anne x
