Another bump shoot? It must be the summer weather. It’s definitely the right time of year to be getting out and about, in the fresh air for a special session of parading the bump. Of course women can be pregnant all year around, but during the spring and summer months, I see more baby bumps than ever! It’s such a magical sight, pregnancy is surely one of life’s biggest miracles. In the summer, I can have photo sessions with women and their baby bumps, without big jumpers and coats to hide the curves. They really are something to be proud of and I love photographing them.

Rachel is due her second baby at the end of July and when she asked me if I would take some pictures of her in the third trimester, I jumped at the chance. I’ve known Rachel for a few years now, and I know that pregnancy has been a long and hard road for her. Taking some pictures of Rachel as she enters the final stretch of pregnancy has been a huge honour. It was a one off session so we decided to make a day of it. We went to Bicester Village on a very busy Sunday to capture Rachel in her 33rd week of pregnancy amongst the hustle and bustle of shoppers carrying on with their daily life and promptly started the day in Starbucks before venturing out with the camera – my kinda trip! As always, I have too many images to share; but I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say, she is positively glowing.

I cannot wait to see you again soon Rachel, only this time with Baby P. All the very best for the final weeks waiting and the delivery xx

I had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest little thing last weekend and I have busting to share these adorable images of 3 week old Renee since I finished editing them. I couldn't believe how alert she was, and she didn't complain once. Isn't she just delicious?

Who says that wearing your wedding dress is a once only occasion? Why should posh frocks be saved for special occasions only? At Bryony Claire Photography, there's nothing more I love, than photographing weddings and parties, but equally as fun, is taking you in your fine gear, somewhere a little bit less conventional.

Recently I have done two Rock the Frock sessions. Both gorgeous ladies, did a fantastic job of posing in pretty chilly weather, in two very different locations to help me capture some very fun images.

Thanks to Vicky (wedding dress) and Kylie (prom dress) for being very able models!

If you would like to rock your frock, all you have to do is drop me a line and we can book you in for guaranteed hours of fun you'll never regret 

I had the pleasure of shooting the gorgeous 9 year old Saskia last week. I thoroughly enjoyed editing the shots from the shoot, she was full of ideas, full of outfit changes, and a really good sport, we had so much fun! I'm lucky to have her parents Vicky and Ben as very close friends, so I can't wait to have the opportunity to shoot Saskia again!

How to choose which to put on the blog? I'd put them all on if I could! But there are too many, so here are some favourites:

Despite the extreme sunlight which is never a photographer's favourite weather to shoot in, I was able to grab a couple of shots outside for a slightly different take on the shoot, I think the last one, perhaps is my favourite pic of all, it's also Saskia through and through. Thank you pretty, for letting me shoot you xx

In September, I had the pleasure of covering the wedding of Sharon and Andy who had the most fabulous colour scheme and were married in one of the most stunning churches in Nuneaton, at  All Saints, Chilvers Coton. Such a lovely wedding, I thoroughly enjoyed it and the photobooth in the evening proved to be a big hit! HUGE congratulations to you both!
