Portrait of my second cat, he was a bit jealous of his sister getting all attention and he decided to pose as well :)

My pretty girl, she doesn't like her photos taken but I've been lucky with this one :)

One of my favourite photos I've taken this year so far from maternity photoshoot we've had a couple weeks ago and what a difference can professional makeup do! Thank you to talented MUA Anna Czarniecka.

My main goal is to capture the first days of your baby’s life with fine art NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY in a calm, stress-free and positive environment and capture their little personalities without the distraction of colourful props or in positions that aren’t natural. I aim to photograph your precious baby in natural light, using simple organic colours, avoiding any dangerous or uncomfortable poses. Taking bookings for March and April now, contact me to book your photo session.

Today I was shooting in Chill Factore, it was s great fun and I met some amazing people. Thank you for the opportunity 🙏For now just a few photos from my phone but in a few days I’ll share something more professional 😉

Valentine's Day is almost here! What are you giving him/her this year? I have a few gifts cards left for a boudoir photo shoot, contact me for more details.

I need your help please, I think about investing in one of these beautiful hand made dresses for my maternity photo shoots. Which one do you think and what colour is popular now? 🤔

Pregnancy is so beautiful time in life and I love to capture this special moment of waiting for a little miracle - your baby. Contact me for more info about pregnancy session.

“Do not settle for the first person who buys you dinner or for the person who says you look pretty, do not settle for the one who does not share your dreams but laughs at your jokes. Do not settle for an attraction without depth, or good conversation with no intent to stay. Do not settle for charm when they do not value what you value, do not settle for convenience without love. Do not settle for a candle when you were taught to love the sun, do not settle because of time when you know that love is patient. Do not settle, please do not settle because there is someone out there who refuses to settle, and you are worth so much more than convenience and ease, you are worth a heart that fights for you.” - T.B. LaBerge And that's what I truly believe in and looking for ;) Self-portrait.

Last night celebration of Chinese New Year in Manchester Fo Guang Shan Temple. Great night and amazing people, it was my first time in the temple but definitely not the last one :)

Taking bookings for Valentine’s couple photo shoot in February 2020! It’s probably the best present for your loved one, I’ve heard this from so many couples. These photo sessions are very popular and dates are going very fast. I offer sessions outdoors, in your home or hotel and my studio. Contact me for more details and let’s plan your perfect photo shoot. Check photos from my last outside couple photo shoot https://www.monikasportraitphotography.co m/…/Engagement-pho…

Another photo from a boudoir shoot with Monica, it was a great fun 😉

A sneak peek from a boudoir photo shoot with beautiful Robin Booth she is as well a very talented MUA. She did her own makeup for this photo shoot and as you can see it's amazing!

So many women are of the opinion that boudoir photography is just for the beautiful and young and that it probably isn’t for them. These women will say “oh I’m over 40 I couldn’t possibly look good !” Well, let me tell you that in my experience as a boudoir photographer this is absolutely not the case! I'm over 40 and I took this self-portrait today. A Boudoir Session is something that every woman should experience in her life. It's so freeing, uplifting, erotic and life-changing. Book your session! Do something for yourself!

A sneak peek from a boudoir photo shoot we've done today with beautiful Monica. Big thank you to our MUA Louise Yorkshirelass Chadwick for great makeup and hair.

What a great maternity photoshoot we've had today and what a difference can professional makeup do! Thank you to talented MUA Anna Czarniecka.
