KARI + CALEB | COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER, MANCHESTER, UK

I met kari and caleb through instagram about a year ago, after seeing all their crazy talent and probably commenting way too many times (bless them, they're the nicest). I got the chance to meet them in london when they were visiting from their new home in france and basically, they are two of the coolest humans on the planet. they're an international photographer team based in strasbourg (which is now one of my favourite places on earth), running cottonwood studios and they're also completely bonkers, which is another reason why I love them so much. they came to stay for a few days and after curries and crazy theories and exploring wales and bacon and the best conversations, we ended with a photoshoot in manchester city. when these two are together, it's like the cheese and cracker combo. on it's own, cheese is amazing, and same goes for crackers. but together? they're made to be! so anyway, I hope you've enjoyed these pictures of these two beautiful souls and make sure you go check them out on instagram and facebook (I'll put all their links below!)!

GRAEME + SANDRA | ENGAGEMENT, NORTH ENGLAND, UK

graeme + sandra are two of the most adorable people ever who basically love each other like crazy. she is bubbly, sweet, mischievous and kind (and also crazy beautiful, amiright?), and he's funny, romantic, laid-back and silly. I was super happy to be able to do both their engagement photos and their wedding and we had so much fun on both days I'm sad to think about how quickly it all went! with graeme being a wedding photographer, I will own up and say that I did have a few nervous moments before the shoots as I wondered whether he'd like the photos or whether he'd find my style odd/too different. but why I had any of those thoughts, I'll never know! they were both amazingly kind + dear + relaxed and we got on so well that it was like we had known each other for years and yeeeears. basically, friends in love are the best. can I get an amen? what's your favourite picture? have you blogged any photo shoots lately? link them below in the comments!

love you all.

beth and tony | north england lifestyle photographer

(if you think that I do my shoots in the wrong order, because I posted the birth shoot first, you may or may not be right, but who's to decide?)

my sister, beth and her husband tony wanted some baby bump pictures, which was all fine and dandy, until the actual day, when they decided to be cheeky and make taking pictures and my poor lil life difficult...so. all the photos swing from being very dramatic to...well, bloopers. but! they are fun and lovely and crazy and hilarious, so they made up for it. 

things she was excited for what colour her hair was type of temper/personality to be a mummy to a beautiful girl to kiss her lips! whether ducks would excite her

things he was excited for what she would look like to be a dad to have his own lil family! seeing her for the first time to smell her forehead

so, yeah, basically, cuteness abounds.
love you all.
be good, hey notice anything different blog-wise and kiss a hedgehog.

p.s. if you didn't notice anything blog-wise, that's ok (well, apart from being very slightly unobservant), coz I'll tell you. I have redesigned! no matter how hard I try, my heart and soul always swing back to the good ole black and white colour scheme. so, have a nosey around my new about, new reader and favourites page, because being nosey is fun.
