January can be a pretty dreary month, it comes in the wake of all the lovely yuletide festivities and the weather can feel somewhat relentless at times with the shorter, darker, colder, wetter days – I think you catch my drift. But I like January, I like the reset, I like returning to my homely sense of normality. Rather unashamedly, I like my slippers, my abundance of cosy blankets, my copious mugs of tea and my snuggles with the kids as soon as school finishes (I hope they never grow too old for this, so far I think I am winning on this front).

Anyway, I digress. I think a lot of people are hesitant to hold photo sessions on any day that isn’t twenty degrees or warmer with a blue sky day full of sunshine and I am here to say that those conditions are simply not necessary. There are so many other factors to think about to ensure your photos capture you and the most important one of them will sound rather cliché, but it is true, its you.

This January just gone by, the ice lay on the ground and it was bitter cold out. When Kylie’s email hit my inbox I was more than a little bit thrilled that she asked about holding E’s newborn session at her Grandmother’s house, nestled amongst the Norfolk Broads. Without doubt it was an incredibly beautiful backdrop in its own right, but what I fell in love with most was the sentimentality of it, I got to capture E’s first visit to a very special place! A winter’s day it was, but the warmth of this shoot speaks volumes.
