Real Nappies: Are They Just a Pain in the Bum? by Samphire Photography

Babies poo. They poo a lot. They can poo several times a day in the first few weeks. Not to mention wee, they do that a lot too. In fact, a newborn can average around 12 nappy changes in 24 hours! Indeed, on average, a baby will need about 4,000 nappy changes before they’re fully […]
Newborn Portrait Photographer | Baby Isabelle, 12 days old

So as a newborn portrait photographer I love welcoming back returning clients. I blogged a few weeks ago about an amazing maternity session I did for this wonderful family. I have photographed them more than once before and it is always a pleasure. Well, not long afterwards their beautiful baby Isabelle was born and they […]
Bespoke Cake Smash for Twins, by Samphire Photography

Bespoke Cake Smash for twins; double trouble or double the fun? Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it. Me, I think it is double the fun but it can involve a lot more chasing around. Especially if your twins are on the move and walking! Even crawling with 2 brings extra […]
Baby Portraits in Surrey, by Samphire Photography

I just love taking baby portraits in Surrey and Sussex. So when little Roman came into the Samphire studio with his cheeky smile I just knew the session was going to be a good one. I was right! This amazing little chap was so happy it was infectious. He is such a joyful boy his […]
Baby Photographer Hove | Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby! (ah-ahh-ah-ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

As an experienced baby photographer I have photographed loads of newborns in my time. But this little girl was just stunning to photograph. So when I found out her name was Ruby (I can’t say her name without thinking of the song, which I love by they way!) I just had to use this gorgeous […]

Themed Cake Smash Sussex | Arabella’s Unicorn-themed Smash

So, after never having had a unicorn themed cake smash Sussex, I ended up being asked for two in a short space of time. No problem, however, as I try to make each one a little different. Arabella’s Mummy requested, “soft pink and purples and just really girly, [with] flowers & unicorns, if possible?” Possible? […]
Photographing Premature Newborn Babies | Joshua, 5 months old

So this is a very special blog for me to write, and not just because this little man is awesome. It’s also because he is my cousin’s little boy, and to me family is super important. Although I’m from a small-ish family, I have had the pleasure of photographing some of my family’s newborn sessions […]
Sweet Woodland Cake Smash by Samphire Photography

I photographed Madison when she was just a teeny tiny wee newborn. So when her parents booked back in for a cake smash I was super excited to see her again. Before the session I had a good discussion with Mum about the set up she wanted. Mum loved the woodland/teepee set up but wanted […]
