On a sunny afternoon just over a week ago, I met up with the wonderful Toschi family in the daffodils! Little Isabel is 14 months old. She is a very pretty wee girl, with the most amazing blue eyes and long eyelashes!! Her parents, Becca and Jeremy quite clearly have very beautiful genes too, so it is not surprising that wee Isabel just melts your heart!
I had been in touch with Becca over email for quite a few months previously. I felt like we were friends already when I met her for the shoot! She is an amazing volunteer and organiser for a few hugely important causes, and I became involved with a couple of events she organised - an International Cloth Nappy week event in May, and the 'Be Beautiful with Bellyful' event on Friday night. This family are all about helping others and giving selflessly... which is hugely inspiring. Big ups to Becca and Jeremy for all the work they did behind the scenes of these events!
They are an incredibly beautiful family! Enough talking... let's get into the photos...

Little Isabel was very curious about my big camera, and didn't take her big eyes off it for the first half of the shoot.
We tried all the tricks in the book, but not much was making Isabel give the big smiles she normally gives for the camera. She had been woken up for the shoot, and was not ready to put on her photo face... but walking along with Mum and Dad's help was a winner!
I find it hard to smile when I have first been woken up too Isabel...
After a while, she forgot about the camera, woke up a bit more, and got really excited about the bright yellow daffodils around her! And fair enough too, a field of daffies is enough to make anyones day.
And she got a little confused about why this leaf was on the ground, not on the "twwweee!"...
Tickles from Daddy...
Beautiful, beautiful family!! It has been so nice to get to know you more (not just over email!!). I am so glad I got the opportunity to photograph you all!! Lots of love xoxo
