Late Winter Maternity Shoot

Del and I have known each other for a little over three years. We met when we were both well-rounded, heavily pregnant first-time-mums-to-be, in a church hall in Leicestershire, trying to get clued-up at our NCT antenatal course.

I knew from the minute she introduced herself we'd end up being great friends, and our daughters, born just five days apart, adore each other too. You can imagine my excitement not only when she announced she was expecting again, but that she wanted me to take her maternity photos.

So off we went (waddled) on a fresh (read freezing cold and very windy) Sunday morning last month to Foxton Locks. Despite the temperature and the wind, we were treated to late-winter sunshine and stunning views across the countryside.

Del wore what she said was most comfortable, but her white and blue stripes set off with chunky red beads really popped against the neutral colours of rural winter... And that bump? Well, Del really suits it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must pack up my kit as shortly I'm off to meet the baby from behind that bump!

Enjoy! 

Do pop over and visit me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to get in touch if you'd like to find out more about sessions and bookings... or just to say hi!

Getting it right

So it's no real secret that I fell into Hannah Hall Photography last year, somewhat by accident. The truth is now that I'm here, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm so excited about the future... But I've definitely gone the backwards way about finding my feet and getting business ready.

Recently I've been focusing on finding my style on paper; establishing a colour scheme and some branding and starting to create stationary that matches. I love my mini business cards, but my current design uses too many colours, so I'm awaiting delivery of a new design.

Taking inspiration from my favourite recycled wool picnic blanket that you might have seen in some of my photographs, I've been working closely with Harriet at Kissing Otters to create something beautiful... Next to overhaul the blog! 

It's all about purples, fawns and greys... I'd love to know what you think! And if you're looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch so I can send you your very own copy!
