Introducing the lovely little Florence (and her best friend for life!). NOTE: This image has been edited. Parents were hands-on at all times. NOTE: This image has been edited. Parents were hands-on at all times. I love this image, but I have to point out that it has been edited in Photoshop to achieve the result. Safety is always paramount in my mind, especially when working with babies and animals. This was an exceptionally placid and well-behaved dog, and mum and dad were hands on with baby and dog at all times. Please do not try to recreate this one at home! To View More >>

It always amazes me when I get to meet a brand new little person, especially when I have photographed their mummy and her bump beforehand, so it was lovely to finally meet little Ethan. Even only a few days old, he is already developing his own cheeky personality - he was so determined not to miss anything, but with lots of patience even he had to have a little sleep!

Introducing Harrison... It doesn't seem that long since I photographed his mummy and daddy's wedding at Hazlewood Castle near Leeds. It was a real pleasure to once again share in a special moment in their lives. Congratulations! xx For more information on Bump and Baby photoshoots by Babies By Jackie, please get in touch.

They must be carefully supported at all times and certainly never left on their own. In this series of posts, I will show you how I ensure that babies are appropriately and safely positioned and supported to create some of my more popular images, and perhaps more to the point, I will show you how supporting hands are removed using Photoshop afterwards, i.e. the baby is never left balancing To View More >>

Wedding fairs are fantastic places to find inspiration and ideas for your wedding planning and they are also the perfect opportunity to meet and talk to potential suppliers. However, they can be quite daunting, especially some of the larger ones, and if you're not careful, you will come home with a huge bag of paper and still feel no closer to any decisions. So, here are some of my tips for getting the most from a wedding fair. Plan ahead - most wedding fairs list the exhibitors on their website beforehand. Check out the websites and make sure you meet with your favourites at the fair. Save time To View More >>
