Amber and her gorgeous mama joined me for a mini session a few weeks ago, and I couldn't resist sharing just the teeniest of peeks with you!
Now is the perfect time to book your summer session - I have limited availability throughout July and August so pop me an email to secure your space!
Kirstin is a wonderful mama to 3 beautiful boys, and I was so happy when she booked a session with me for her and her youngest son, Felix. The weather agreed with me and the sun came out, meaning we could unleash all of Felix's gorgeously nommable rolls of baby pudge - how Kirstin doesn't nibble him all day long I don't know!
Here's just a few images from their session - I'll be running another day of mama sessions in the summer. Email me to be put on the mailing list for more information
I had a great day at the end of February running a day of Mothers Day mini sessions for NCT Aberdeen City and Shire branch. Here's a few images to brighten your weekend!
Luke and his baby sister were meant to come and see me at the NCT Aberdeen photo fundraiser sessions, but unfortunately the weather got the better of us. Thankfully our second attempt along the railway line in Peterculter was far more successful, and I thought I'd share a wee snippet from their session with you all! (check who has gotten so big since I did her newborn session!)
We just about managed to avoid the rain for our NCT Aberdeen Photo Fundraiser Mini Session day at the end of February, but it did catch up with me in the end! But it was lovely to meet and photograph 11 amazing families, and Jack's mum has given me permission to share these images with you ahead of Mothers Day! Jack was just the absolute cutest - I mean look at that smile! How could you resist such a gorgeous face? No matter what the Aberdeen weather was up too, this little man had smiles aplenty.
I've been volunteering with the local Aberdeen branch of the NCT (National Childbirth Trust) since my first baby Toby was born (a whole 4 years now!). It's been an amazing way to make new friends, and help make a difference to parents in the area - whether that be helping at the sling library or organising fundraising events. We've been running successful photo fundraisers for a couple of years, but we decided to chance the weather last October and offer 2 days of outdoor mini sessions. Not only did it help to raise vital funds for charity, it meant Christmas presents for Mums and Grans were sorted in one fell swoop! If you haven't heard of the NCT or what it provides for parents in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, you can pop over to their Facebook page
I had an amazing time meeting over 20 families across the 2 days, with lots of happy, smiley little ones all ready to rock their sessions. Here's just a small selection of images - it was almost impossible to choose a couple of favourites!
Could these two be any more handsome?
Jasper and Callum both rocking a good knitted jumper - is there anything cuter?
I know, I know....I've got to stop with the cute....
More? Oh go on then....
I'm looking forward to doing another photo fundraiser day for NCT Aberdeen next weekend, in advance of Mothers Day at the end of March. The slots are currently sold out, but you can email aberdeen@nct.org.uk to be put on the waiting list!
Jemma had been kindly gifted a babywearing session with me, to celebrate the arrival of her beautiful daughter. We took a wander along the Deeside Railway Line with baby E, who had promptly nodded off in the carrier! Babywearing is a great way for you to bond with your baby - you can't go wrong with hands free cuddles!
Toddlers often (always?) have their opinions on what they do and don't want to do. I have a wide reaching repetoire of songs/silly noises/tv theme tunes/jokes and dance moves to get them on side, that I am ready to utilise no matter how daft it makes me look! I didn't need any of them for the beautiful Miss India though - she was an absolute superstar from start to finish
Here's just a small selection from our session in Johnston Gardens back in November
Sometimes as a photographer, you strike really, really lucky, and this was the case for Sarah's family photography session in Aberdeen. The light was gorgeous, and her daughters were impeccably behaved, making my job of capturing beautiful images of them all, super easy. I had such a hard time whittling down their gallery, but here is a small selection from the time we spent together
"Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of their neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”
I was so lucky with the Aberdeen weather over the autumn. While it was a grey and overcast day on the morning of twins A+A's session with their mum and dad, the light in Johnston Gardens was beautiful and we had a great hour or so playing in the park, looking for magical trees and getting in to mischief!
Outdoor family sessions are a great way to get some amazing images whilst letting the kids blow off steam at the same time - and as a busy family, you don't want your photo sessions to feel like a chore. I do my very best to make it as enjoyable as possible for all involved, so you have some lovely memories to look back on! Why not pop me a message to discuss your family session?
Another of my big passions is babywearing, so when I get to combine it with photography, it makes me very happy indeed. Rachael joined me for a babywearing session and we headed off down to the River Dee to capture some images of her and her beautiful boy. Babywearing makes getting around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire super easy - wherever you can go, baby can too! For local sling advice and support for you and your baby, visit Sling Fling
Here's just a couple of images from their mini session - and Rachaels thoughts immediately after her session
"Thank you for today Vivienne. I'm always a bit uncomfortable getting my photo taken at the best of times, but you put me and Braydon at ease and I really enjoyed it.
I absolutely adore the photo you shared. Such a special moment of me and my boy that I will cherish forever and I can't wait to see the others"
With two other beautiful children, and always being on the other side of the camera in family photos, Konrads mummy wanted to have a special session, just for her and her baby boy. With a lot of cuddles, milk and silly songs, we had a wonderful morning together. Even though naptime was beckoning, baby K was able to turn it on for the camera, but I love the natural images of him and his gorgeous mama the most.
I'm happy to photograph babies of any age, so don't feel like you have to delay a session till your baby is x amount of months. With my lifestyle at home or outdoor sessions, we can work with your baby to get the best images possible. Get in touch to find out more about a session for you and your family in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire.
Here's just a small selection from their gallery - isn't K the cutest?
Maeve and her parents celebrated her first birthday with a fun outdoor family photo session. Maeve was an absolute delight from start to finish! Here's just a tiny selection from our lovely morning together
Another session from last autumn (the only downside to moving over to a new website is having to reblog everything!), this time with the oh so handsome Callum and Kyle. These two came to see me out near my home , for a walk along the Deeside Railway Line at Peterculter. We had great fun playing in the leaves!
