Baby is certainly busy – and blimey, so am I! Considering I have bought nothing ‘useful’ yet (you can’t count a jigsaw and stuffed elephant), I really must put some thought to these monstrous lists people keep sending my way. The trouble is, I’m confused about a few things – does a baby need a travel cot AND a moses basket….or are they the same thing? Do you really need a sterilising kit for bottles? Someone told me that dishwashers get more than hot enough to kill any bacteria which might harm baby…and what’s a Tens machine?
However, I do love these little elephant booties picked up in Bangkok airport…
It’s official. The baby photographer is having a baby of her own. She no longer has to share her customers’. Yes, we had the 20-week scan yesterday and all is well. Things are certainly going to change in the world of Charlotte Broster Photography. Watch this space…
(12 week scan above. 20 week scan coming…)
I’ve just arrived home from a trip to Thailand – perhaps my fifth time in the country since I was a child! I keep returning because I love the Buddhist culture, the spicy food and the laid-back fun lifestyle. The highlights were doing a cookery course with Noi in Kanchanaburi (alongside the famous River Kwai) and visiting Ko Phi Phi Ley (the island where The Beach was filmed) and swimming in it’s turquoise sea.

I photographed Esther and Drew’s big day at the beautiful Whitley Ridge Hotel in the New Forest. Esther had planned a Vintage-style wedding, from her wedding dress to the ‘village fete’ reception complete with hay bales and bunting! It was an amazing day, the weather couldn’t have been better. I would love to be the wedding photographer at more weddings at Whitney Ridge. It was such a peaceful, intimate venue.
Ah, how lovely it is to take the day off and wander round pretty Luxembourg City being a travel photographer. What a charming little city. I walked and walked…and walked some more along the cobbled streets and up the hills. The weather was great, the sun was beating down. Such freedom!

I photographed 60 children at Oaktree Nursery in Finchampstead last week. I chose to do the nursery photography in the garden to mark the start of the summer and to give the parents something unique. The weather held off…although at one stage I felt a few drops of rain! Pictured here is little Toby. Mum was kind enough to say I could feature his photo. Beautiful isn’t he!
I went to visit baby Ellie at home yesterday and took some beautiful baby photographs of her with natural light. Look at her eyes! Stunning.
….with my new accountants this afternoon. Colette and Debbie from Athena Tax are a pleasure to deal with, they are so friendly and approachable, they make tax returns bearable! (Believe me, accounting is not my strong point!)
They also have very nice profile photos on their website. I wonder who did those….

Why stay in the studio when the weather is beautiful! I really enjoyed this outdoor shoot with Jo and Jemma, achieving some very natural photographs which mum and dad are thrilled about! Both children said they felt like fashion models, it was so much fun!
I’m doing more and more lifestyle photography now that the weather is improving. If you’d like to capture your family in this way, do not hesitate to give me a call.
I found a new free networking group yesterday morning! Business Biscotti at the Cantley Arts Bar. It was a very friendly atmosphere, plenty of faces who I had met before. Very informal and not restricted to one-person-per-profession so I actually saw 3 other photographers there! Still, there seemed to be enough space for us to all individually circulate and after all, we are all that little bit different…
The most amazing mocha I have ever tasted!
The group also meets at:
Daisy’s Coffee Shop, The Herb Farm in Sonning Common, 9.30 – 11.30 am in the last Wednesday of every month
Bracknell Palm Hills, London Rd, 9.30-11.30am – 3rd Wednesday of every month
Cantley Lodge Arts Bar, Wellington Road, Wokingham, last Tuesday of every month
