Marie, Damian and Florence's portrait session
Over four years ago we were the wedding photographers for Marie and Damian when they married in Harome, celebrating at The Star Inn. Since then, we've seen them at two more weddings - in Leeds for Marie's sister Jayne's marriage to Kevin and then all the way to Cheshire for the celebrations of Marie's friend Emma to Ryan. We were really excited to receive an email from Marie to tell us that she and Damian are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby daughter, Florence, or Flossie as she has been affectionately nick-named, and as mother and baby photographers in West Yorkshire, we were delighted to be asked to take some special photographs of Marie and Flossie together to celebrate a very special birthday - Marie's 30th on New Year's Eve. So, as we welcomed the family to the studio, it was "lovely to see you again", "congratulations", "happy birthday" and "happy New Year!" Damian made it clear that these photographs were his birthday present to Marie and that the focus should be firmly on his two ladies, but we couldn't let him off the hook that easily! It would have been a shame not to take a few family photographs of them all together, especially as it's clear that Damian is such a devoted dad, but we think he was glad to be a spectator for most of the portrait session. Flossie is a gorgeous baby and looks so much like him! We had a really fun time, lots of laughs and we look forward to seeing Marie and Damian when they come back to view their images.
