Supporting Macmillan at the Warwick Prep School Autumn Fair

This coming Friday (28th September) I shall be attending Warwick Preparatory School's Autumn Fair to exhibit my children's photography and family portrait work whilst helping to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

I will be running an exclusive offer for on-location family portrait shoot bookings, and will be donating a percentage of sales to the very worthwhile Macmillan charity. 

Having lost my lovely mother-in-law to cancer last year I have seen at first hand the incredible support that Macmillan provides, so I hope to be able to raise a good sum of money alongside the other stall holders.  Please pop by between 8.00am and 10.30am on Friday for a chat and to browse through my work.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Belle Bebes Features Sophie Hewitt Photography

As a family and children's photographer I am always on the hunt for different ways to connect with parents, and when I came across the beautiful Belle Bebes blog earlier this year I knew instantly that I wanted to have my baby photography and children's portrait photography featured on the site.  The blog focuses on design ideas for babies and young children, and features cute and cutting edge toys, clothes, and home interiors ideas.

I was thrilled back in the spring when the team at Belle Bebes asked me to be interviewed for the site about my work as a children's photographer in Warwickshire, and this weekend I was doubly delighted when they featured one of my favourite family photo shoots from the summer season. 

Visit the Belle Bebes blog to read the feature and take a look around the wonderful site.  Grab yourself a coffee and leave yourself plenty of time though - there are so many gorgeous things on the blog that it's hard not to spend hours browsing!

Come & See My Work At The Croft Prep School

I shall be exhibiting my children's portrait photography this Saturday (15th September) at The Croft Preparatory School. 

The school will be holding its annual summer fun day and by the looks of the programme of events it certainly promises to be packed with fun...a ferris wheel, a Pimms tent, an obstacle course, a mini zoo and face painting are just a few of the many attractions on offer!

I will be in the Mundell Court school building between 11am and 3pm on the day, so if you're planning to attend please do pop by to say hello, browse through my work and take advantage of the family portrait exclusive offer I will be running.

Baby Photography in Stratford-on-Avon

Autumn is upon us, so before the blog is awash with  images of little ones all muffled up in their cosy scarves I though I would share one of my favourite baby portrait photography sessions from the summer season.

When Liz and Max contacted me to ask me to photograph their five-month-old daughter, Tabatha, I knew I was in for a treat.  Living in a beautiful, rural village close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Liz explained that their house was surrounded by wild flower meadows and woodlands, and that we had been granted permission to access these areas on the day of our shoot.  As an on location children's photographer in Warwickshire this is the kind of phone call I love to receive!

On the morning of the baby portrait shoot in Warwickshire we had a small window of time during which little Tabatha was awake and happy to be out and about, so we headed straight for the daisy meadows where we captured some beautifully natural family portrait photographs.  Sunlight, a warm breeze and a ton of wild flowers made for a simply beautiful setting.

Contented and very sparkly after a good feed and her morning nap back at home, Tabatha was an absolute joy to photograph.  Such smiley eyes - incredible!  I captured images of her both inside and outside Liz and Max's beautiful home, making use of the constant natural light that streamed through the windows and into the gardens on what was a rare sunny day.

I am delighted with this set of on location baby photography in Warwickshire and am looking forward to many more family portrait shoots during the autumn winter season ahead.  Snuggly snowsuits and mittens on elastic, here we come!
