stand here and think about someone you love part one {London family photography}

If you want to win my heart at a family session:

1) Bake a cake with pure abandon
2) Lick EVERYTHING
3) Jump in to bed to read stories, even though you worry it might look a little weird
4) Let me revel in the gloriousness that is your Saturday afternoon - feeding, tears, laughter, all of it.

This is the second time I've had the absolute pleasure of hanging with Alexa and her family (an amazing photographer in her own right, no pressure!) but this time I got to meet the newest addition to the team. With the big sparkly eyes and most welcoming smile I've ever seen on a kid, meeting J was special - Alexa was in the very, very early days of pregnancy the last time I captured them.

The story and love within the walls of this little unit is one I'm so, so privileged to tell. And this is only the first part!

But for now, let's revel in the mess of baking with 3 year olds, and reading stories in the afternoon light...
