Today I spent the morning with Hartbeeps who are based in Southampton and Eastleigh. We stayed to three of their classes, one Happy House and one Baby Beeps. It was such an incredibly opportunity to take some photographs of children and their parents in action enjoying the jam packed classes Lou runs.

Smiles, giggles, laughter, there was so much being shared between the parents and children in the classes, so many new things that they were learning and I love the fact that you never know what to expect! Children are constantly surprising us through their exploration and I love being there to capture whatever happens, it is such an honour.

There was dancing, singing and so much joy which Lou elicited from the participants with ease. I couldn’t stop smiling all morning! It was hard work, I was constantly on the go, moving around the room, up and down to try and make sure my images truly captured the hundreds of moments in the session.

Parents are sometimes unsure as to what I am taking photographs of in these sessions, what I am seeing that they are not, but hopefully the galleries speak for themselves! It may seem every day, you may think it is just ‘play’ but every moment that I capture reflects a moment in time that you can treasure forever.

I am really looking forward to working regularly with Hartbeeps and hope that all the families enjoy the images from yesterday’s sessions.
