If you've been following my work for any length of time you'll know that my most regular young model is Miss Isabel, who is now a whole 3 and a half. She's an absolute delight to shoot as after 3 years in front of my lens you can imagine how unbothered she is by it - although, and I'm going to say arrggghhh just a little, she seems to have picked up that strange plastic school-photo grin all kids seem to acquire between the age of 3 and 5 (gah! where do they get it from?! It drives me NUTS) so I have to be a little more patient to get the real McCoy now.

Ranting aside, Isabel now has a baby brother who's now nearly a whole month new. A fortnight ago I went to visit Rhonda and David and the new addition to their family. Young Tom is cuddly and tiny and I spent a good deal of the day snuggling with him on the sofa. In between I caught some super relaxed shots of the family... and here they are!
