This is J! A little firecracker! Full of personality and not using my props as conventionally as most of my little visitors but never the less rocking her session anyway! Mixing it up with a mini cakesmash at the end!! I am pretty sure that you can tell from the images that she had fun 🙂
My first newborn session in my new studio was baby E and her big brother W 🙂
After having such bad weather yesterday it was a welcome sight to wake up to a fantastic blue sky today. I was running a bit late this morning as we moved house last week and the studio contents are currently in a big heap in the play room whilst the studio is fitted out. I finally managed to find everything I needed and arrived at Beauvale Priory with about 10 minutes to spare! A quick set-up and I was ready for the 10am start! I really wasn’t sure what to expect of the fair as I hadn’t been to one there before. When I arrived however I knew it was going to be busy as it was before 10am and it was already buzzing with people. Please excuse the poor quality taken on my phone but this was my stall :-
I met lots of new people today along with seeing some of my previous brides and grooms which was lovely as they now have little ones too 🙂 There were lots of other stalls today too, Barlow’s the butcher who had the biggest queue for hours as nearly everyone wanted some of their delicious hog roast. The Beauvale Priory bar which again was very busy, ummmm I wonder why?!!!! The Tea room was also very busy, cake need I say more!! The Doggie Deli from Kimberley who made all of the doggies very happy!! Debby Bears & Crafts selling cute mohair bears and crafts. Country Craft Products selling lots of cute handmade gifts. There was a fantastic vintage furniture stall and many many more.
There were guided tours of the Farm & Priory along with lots of fun for the kids and adults!
I had a visit at lunchtime from my gorgeous family 🙂 My two little ones soon located the free sweets jar and got stuck in!!!! They also enjoyed some ice cream and had their face’s painted too 🙂 The weather was glorious all day. I came home at 4pm and we had a BBQ. Afterwards it then started hailing with thunder & lightening, good old British weather!!!!!
I am looking forward to the next fair which is on the First Sunday of December from 10am – 4pm, don’t miss it!!
The big exciting announcement that I mentioned a few weeks ago is finally here!! I can finally announce that Victoria Bradley Photography is moving to a lovely big new studio!!! Lots more room for even more props!!! We are moving area to Kirkby Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire where we will have a fantastic new home based studio which will be up and running by the last week in June. We will be conveniently located approximately 1.5 miles away from J27 of the M1 and offer all of the session types we have previously offered with scope to do larger family shots & striking maternity images as well. Watch this space for photographs of the studio fit 🙂 For now i’m off to finish the packing, suitcases and all!!!
Today’s total smiley cuteness is brought to you by little P! One of the most smiley babies I have had recently but I do like to include some not smiley ones as well, thank you for making my morning an easy one!
Little M first visited me when she was just a few months old with her big brother and returned today for her 1st Birthday session. She is simply adorable!
Little E first came to see me for her newborn session just under a year ago and came back to see me today for her 1st Birthday Cake smash!! She definitely wasn’t feeling her usual self today but we managed to sneak a few cute shots in of her, such a cutie 🙂 Lovely to see her mum again too:-) 
Baby A visited me this morning for her 6 month old photo session with her mummy and daddy and what a smiley baby she is 🙂
Today’s little one definitely made me work for these shots!!! But is was very cute and loved the bath tub part can you tell???!!
A few more images than usual as it’s a bank holiday! (Actually because I couldn’t choose just a few!) The most well behaved little girl visited me today in the studio for her 2 year cake smash. I love this colour combo 🙂 Happy Birthday Little M and thank you for making my bank holiday shoot an easy one 🙂
Little baby M visited me this morning with his mummy. He wasn’t in the best of moods when he arrived!!!! He definitely made me work for these shots but we got lots in the end and he loved the bath tub part 🙂 Thing is when you are this cute you can get away with it!!!
I had the pleasure of photographing little baby E today in the studio. Just 13 days new and so much hair!!! She was a total star and completely rocked her session, so many images to choose from here are just a few! Enjoy!!
Off to Hobby Craft to buy tissue paper today, making tissue paper pom poms for next weeks cakesmash session. If anyone would like to make these for yourselves here is a link to a tutorial from one of my favourite craft websites Martha Stewart

Enjoy!!
I photographed cute baby E this time last year when she was just a few days old. She visited me today as she is one in a few days time 🙂 We used the same basket and fresh Cherry Blossoms from our garden. How much as she grown??!! It’s crazy to think how much a little one grows in the first year! Happy Birthday Baby E!

Its quite a challenge balancing new photo shoots, editing and managing children during the holidays, but Sunday is going to be a well deserved rest day! Like this one chillin’ out!!
Looking forward to next weeks newborn and baby photo shoots 🙂
Working on this little ones gallery today 🙂 I love flat caps and braces on babies, too cute!
So this little one is the cousin of one of my newborns that I had in the studio a couple of weeks ago. He was very cute and super excited to be in the studio, after a good session he had tired himself out so we just had enough tie to do some family shots as well.
I am very happy to announce that I have now achieved professional qualified status in The Guild of Photographers.
This little one sure made me work today but he is so cute he got away with it!
This little one was so cool not only does she have the most awesome hair but she made my Monday morning a dream and slept for the whole session!
What can I say but oh my gosh too cute!! Congratulations Mummy & Daddy.
We had great fun in the studio today with baby N who is 1 tomorrow. He took part in our very first wash tub session after his cakesmash which I think he really liked. Happy Birthday Baby N!
Sweet baby L, she really made me work for these images but my o my is she cute!
Baby D! Today’s little bundle of cuteness 🙂
Today’s little sweetie slept though the whole session. Mummy and Daddy gave her a bath before they came to the session as per my advice so she was awake for a while which means she was ready for sleeping when she got to me! Well done Mummy & Daddy you did a great job and we got some beautiful images 🙂
Having a play about with some black backdrop ready for a maternity session next week.
I had the pleasure of little man in my studio this morning. He was a total little dude! Well done baby E we just got the shots we needed before tiredness set in!

I am now a proud member of the British Association of Newborn Photographers!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Calling Newborn Photographers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just started a new group called Newborn Photographers Network UK on Facebook. This is a group for photographers in different areas of the UK that specialise in Newborn Photography. It is an opportunity to network and share ideas, helpful info, tips, prop bargains, prop de-stashing etc etc. You are also welcome to post information on newborn training courses that you may be running. The aim is to help each other grow our businesses, for this reason there will be no two members that are located in the same area. Please email me if you would like to join the group with your website address and the area that you are based in.
