I had a lovely time at Leicester Bumps Babies and Beyond group photographing all these gorgeous little ones and their mummys (and a few daddys as well!). It is easy to take lots of photos of our children but how often are we in them ourselves? The photographs I have from when I was a little girl with my mum and dad are precious to me and have helped me understand the importance of taking family portraits. My hope is that one day when these little ones grow up they will look at their portraits and see just how loved they were.
