recent family portraits

Phew,

Well, being back to normal has meant just that and more!! After the Birth of Morgan on the first of September, I took some time away to properly settle mummy and baby in at home, but the continued interest in Avant photographic and of course, our record success at Airbourne meant I had to return quite quickly.

A steady stream of families and babies wanting portraits done here at Avant photographic has meant full diaries and many an hour editing your portraits. I have had a storm these last few weeks and am over the moon with the work I am producing.

Here is a taster..

Heres a favourite of Morgan's first studio session.

second,

here is Lewis and his mum and dad, who were guinea pigs for a new idea i had for a family portrait. I think it gets round the problem of parents wanting to not be in the pictures!
These I love, Simon and Louise were at the hospital with having their son the same time as me and Hay's. he had an Airbourne family portrait voucher and we bumped into each other when Hayley was in labor. I had fun shooting the sorts of family portrait i would like of me Hayley and Morgan.
This one was a wicked session! Tracey and her son Jake have a very special relationship and it was great to capture it. He is everything a boy should be, boisterous, adventurous and full of personality! But, at the same time incredibly tender, and mainly a big 'mummy's boy'!
This is little Alex.. rosy cheeked and gorgeous.. what more can I say. just a gem of a little boy..
seems that there is not that many girls around at the moment!

must be something in the water...

remember, if you have not booked your Airbourne voucher you still have time, but please hurry to get your preferred date..

Morgan Michael Burrowes (My son)

I'M A DADDY!

Morgan Michael Burrowes was born on Tuesday 1st september at 2304 hrs. 8 lb's 8 oz's.

He is a very happy, healthy little boy and both me and Hayley are over the moon. The birth was the usual mix of joy and stress, but with each day the experience becomes less horrific!

We brought him home on Thursday and were relieved to finally get a little sleep, interrupted only a couple of times in the night for feeds and the first of many nappy changes!

his first poo went all over me! I was looking after him whilst Hayley was looked after and he decided the time was good for a little squeeze, all over his birthing blanket! Like a dutiful 21st century man i leapt in to change him, happy to be hands on and to feel useful!

The shop has been neglected for a few days and i can only apologize for my absence over the past few days. Service as usual from tuesday 8th september 10 am..

I am franticly trying to reply to all the messages and emails. Please bear with me at this joyous time, i will be in touch soon, I promise...

Thank you so much for all the well wishes and cards, they mean so much to us both.

many thanks

(Daddy) Phil Burrowes
